Outfits Not Just Clothes

coat/ pants -H&M(more coats here ) , shirt-Asos(similar here ), loafers- G.H.Bass , necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ) This is OOTD is fall outfitting firing on my style cylinders!!! We've got layers, plaid, we've got a horse print, loafers, argyle socks, and a slouchy shirt tuck! Plus the brown-earth tone color story, supported by an olive and brown backdrop is giving me all things autumn-realness! Yes, there are a lot of exclamation points for a standard shirt, pants, shoes, & coat, but the print-mixing, androgynous attitude, seasonal appropriateness, and how great I felt wearing this ensemble justify the punctuation.  The hair is another story, I'm choosing not to see it. 😉

blazer-Banana Republic(similarish here ), shirt/ joggers -Uniqlo(more casual shirt options here ), boots- LandsEnd For some reason, this camo shirt and tweedy blazer live on the same hanger in my closet. I think this occurred during one of my wardrobe reorganizing frenzies when I went with a color-coded system. Sometimes I like to shake things up with an overhaul of hanger partners, which doesn't necessarily make things more efficient, but DOES give me new ideas on how to style my current wardrobe.

You may recall the various #twinning posts with my daughter here , here , and here . Well this past spring I gave birth to another daughter and the idea of coordinating a baby, toddler, and mommy outfits may send me over the edge (in a good way) for this upcoming holiday season. I now have coordinated ensembles for both Thanksgiving & Christmas this year. Needless to say I am SUPER pysched, getting literal chills just thinking about the pics.  First up, Thanksgiving!  Old Navy Wrap Toddler Dress Baby Dress For these three dresses I simply typed "burgundy florals" into the search at OldNavy.com and found these beauties. The great thing about the search feature at Old Navy, Gap, etc. is the results pull from across collections so you can simultaneous browse baby, toddler, women, and men to help you find coordinated pieces for the whole family.  True, florals are more of a spring/summer motif, but the burgundy base and rich colors make them appr...

coatigan-Madewell(similar here ), shirtdress-Nordstrom(similar here ), boots-Lifestride via DSW(similar here ), sunnies- Target   I love a brooding fall look, and this OOTD is serving up all of the brood with this black and grey, plaid maxi flannel shirtdress hybrid. There is some serious length drama with this garment, but at the same time it's so cozy and of course I'm loving the pockets. A coordinated coatigan and flat boots complete this autumn ensemble.  On a side note: I've been able to manage my hair better thanks to this Garnier Hair Mask . I can't believe it took me so long to figure out deep conditioning when you think about how adamant I am about moisturizer. Oh well, the important point is that I'm feeling better about my hair.
