Black & Mint // Maternity Style

Finding clothes that actually fit and look decent enough to wear outside my home has admittedly been proving more difficult than I anticipated. Most of the actual maternity clothes are a bit too long or too baggy for me, especially when it comes to pants. So lately I've taken to wearing my favorite pre-pregnancy brands in a size or two larger than normal {hello half off sale at Loft}. I love that this top is a silk blend, fancier than the many cotton tees that I live in these days. It pairs equally well with dressed down cords for the weekend and fancy black skinnes for work.

Chambray Uniform // Maternity Style

Lately I feel like I've been living in different versions of a chambray shirt and skinnies. Open with a fitted tank, buttoned with a chunky scarf and topknot, a chambray popover with colored denim, and even lounging around the house with leggings and sweater boots. But when only a small portion of your wardrobe fits, you work with what you have. And I happen to have chambray.

Casual

Old Navy top, Gap leggings, Target scarf, Loft necklace, Michael Kors watch & bag, Tommy Hilfiger booties, vintage bracelets, Essie Chincilly polish

There's nothing really special about this outfit, except that I recently discovered Old Navy petites online. Despite my love of all things Banana Republic, I never really shop at Old Navy because honestly, the clothes just don't fit well. Since my discovery however, things have changed. And while I already own the perfect worn-in chambray, this light-weight pop-over was just too good to pass up.

Doubled Up

The weather is starting to get cooler around these parts, and I am itching for days of layering. Shirts, scarves, boots, light jackets, please. So when I awoke to a crisp breeze this past Sunday morning, I decided a bit of layering was in order.

Happy Tuesday.

Black & Blue

Target blouse & pants, LuLu Townsend heels via DSW, Anthropologie necklace, vintage bracelets, Michael Kors bag

Although I own a fair amount of blue clothing, this top has quickly become a favorite. The flowy silhouette, contrast piping, and uneven hemline make the solid royal blue {a favorite of mine} even more interesting. Added bonus -- it pairs equally well with black skinnies and flared jeans, making it versatile enough for both work and play.

Back to Black & White

Black and white is a combination that I often overlook. I own very little black, a fact that I am slowing changing, and usually pass up what I do have for something more colorful. But lately I've been drawn to the simplicity of black and white outfits, pairing patterns and textures instead of color. I especially love the print of this top and the hi-low hem.

What are your tricks to keeping a black and white ensemble interesting?

{What I'm Wearing} Easy Like Sunday Morning

Lately I've been all about simple pieces, especially a white tee... paired with a long skirt, distressed denim, grey skinnies, neon shorts and a chambray. The list for me is endless.

Details: (old) Abercrombie denim jacket (new version, similar), Loft tee, F21 skirt (similar), vintage belt & bangles, Gap aviators, Clarks wedges, Michael Kors bag (similar)

Also, a note about these posts....

My style isn't fashion forward or groundbreaking, and I'm okay with that. I enjoy dressing up and often ogle over runway shows or fashion magazines, but in reality, cocktail dresses, gowns and even the most amazing, detailed peplum just don't fit into my daily life. I'm a simple gal, leading a simple life. I like pretty clothes, big jewels, and heels, and I like to share them with you.

{What I'm Wearing} Black & White, Dots & Stripes

DETAILS:
Loft top (similar) & skirt (similar here and here), F21 belt (old, but this one is fun), Dolce Vita heels, Michael Kors bag, June Shin ring

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of spending some time with my dear friend Lesley on her birthday. It was such a fun night, filled with laughter, stories, red wine and homemade chocolate cake. But one of my favorite moments was sharing fashion tips with sweet little four-year-old Matilda. Til and I found out we share a love of stripes and polka dots, and she suggested that I wear them together. And while this skirt isn't exactly polka dots, it's a close second and one that I think Til would approve. So this outfit is for my friend Matilda Graham, that sweet little blonde that stole my heart the moment I met her.

Encouraging Spring

Loft blazer, peplum & trousers {ha!}, Nine West heels {old}, Ily Couture neckalce via Etsy, vintage bracelets

It's about this time every year that I truly start to long for springtime. January has passed with it's cold days and fireplace nights, and as February is winding down, so is my desire for winter. Spring colors start to creep back into my vision, and I long for the days of open toe sandals and trail runs in shorts.

This February is no exception. The instant I eyed these pink pants in my closet this morning, I knew they needed to see the sun. So, I wore them. And although the sun and blue sky made me believe it was warm outside, today's high of 40 had me back inside in a fleece not too long after church.

Guess you can't win 'em all.

Layered Basics

{Loft dress, H&M blazer, Modcloth tights, Seychelles booties, Michael Kors bag & watch, Anthropologie necklace, vintage & F21 jewels}

With the weather here fluctuating between 70-degree afternoons and cold-enough-to-ice-the-windshield mornings, layering has become a must. And although most days I wear pants purely for practicality, sometimes a dress and tights is what a girl needs.

{What I'm Wearing}: No-Brainer

Levi's chambray, J. Crew skinnies, Dolce Vita wedges, Francesca's necklace, vintage & F21 bracelets, Michael Kors watch & bag

Some form of chambray and black cigarettes is my go-to, no-brainer outfit. For work, for church, for play, it's easy to dress up or down and makes transitioning from day to night a breeze. Which was perfect last weekend. Because after reading through therapy updates and a thirty-page contract for work, I didn't have much brain power left.

P.S. I love how Sambo kept photo bombing me here. He was just so excited that we were home!

{What I'm Wearing} Ladylike

Loft sweater, Banana Republic pants, Macy's coat, LuLu Townsend heels, Steve Madden bag, F21 scarf, vintage & F21 jewelry

As much as I love pencil skirts and dresses, pants are often more practical in my wardrobe, especially when it comes to work. Add a sparkly sweater, extra special earrings and fitted outerwear, and I feel just as feminine as I would in a skirt and heels.

{What I'm Wearing} Coming Up Hearts

Loft top, H&M blazer, Madewell jeans, Lizard Thicket heels & necklace, vintage bracelets, Michael Kors watch

Lately my looks have been all about androgynous tops and skinny skinny jeans. This outfit was no exception. A flowy top, bright blazer and my favorite Madewell skinnies were the perfect things to wear for brunch with my man and the best cheese grits and biscuits in Athens.

{What I'm Wearing} Elfish

Levi's chambray, F21 sweater, Anthropologie necklace, Loft corduroys & boots, vintage bracelets, Michael Kors watch, gifted Dior 'Rouge" lipstick

Something about the red pants and pointed boots made me feel a bit like an elf last week as I was running around doing last minute Christmas errands. So much so, that I figured a mug of spiced cider was the perfect companion to my present wrapping, dessert baking, and general merry making. It was a great weekend-before-Christmas weekend.

xoxo

FYI, as husband was taking these pictures he so sweetly informed me that he doesn't like this outfit. Bah humbug.

{What I'm Wearing} His & Hers

Madewell top, Banana Republic pants, Loft scarf, Steve Madden bag, Francesca's earrings, vintage bracelets

The boyfriend button down is one of my favorite weekend go-tos. Perfect with skinny jeans for a Saturday brunch, leggings and a movie by the fire, or dressed up with stilettos and an handsome date, these tops get a workout in my wardrobe. Last weekend I paired a hot pink version with my new favorite stilettos and black cigarettes for a dressy casual Sunday morning.
