Denim on Denim

23 November, 2016

Outfit posts aren’t frequent here because stepping in front of the camera isn’t something I feel entirely comfortable doing (plus my husband takes my photos and we rarely both have time for it). But I’m making an effort to document everyday looks a little more. We’re still having a mix of warm and cold days so this denim-on-denim number is a nice option for a typical Fall that can’t seem to make up its mind. These are all old pieces I truly love and wear all the time (shopping new often just isn’t my life). I’m all about neutrals with a little bit of intrigue so the quilted jacket + pinstripe jeans + camel tee combination is just right.

A Palette for Fall and Winter

16 November, 2016

I’ve been inspired to go a bit outside my norm with these luxurious hues–emerald, bordeaux, and stone to transition to those crisp, cozy days we’re finally having, and there’s even have a little holiday vibe going on. I’m in love.

Spring Suede

I’m very much a fan of slides, mules, and elegant heels this season, all in suede that’s versatile, classic, and available in every soft, muted spring hue I can imagine. It’s hard to go wrong with that. I’ll take one of each, please.

Uniform

This particular outfit has been on heavy rotation since my husband bought me a beautiful sweater by Achro for Christmas (and these Levi’s have hardly been taken off since I bought them in Cincinnati). The thick ribbing and detail on the collar plus the modern charcoal grey color have made it my go-to for the more frequent chilly days. It’s the perfect addition to my collection of elevated basics–sophisticated and elegant with heels yet comfortable enough for lounging on the couch, even when your couch is currently being stored at your dusty and unfinished home renovation. I still feel totally at ease and warm no matter where I am.

Spring on My Mind

15 January, 2015

All the talk about spring has me wanting to lighten up both my wardrobe and my home, especially during this cold and gloomy week (my mood, forever linked to the weather). This part of the south can hardly complain about frigid temperatures but I’m still just about over it and desperate for warmth. Remember when I was looking forward to sweater weather? Fickle, fickle woman.

The back detail on the Rachel Comey Zanzibar top is stunning. It just made the number one spot (aka the only spot, at that price) on my birthday wishlist. I’m not sure where birthdays fit into my desire to simplify my belongings, but I’m working on that.

Getting Ready for Fall

10 September, 2014

I took advantage of end-of-season/Labor Day sales and got a few things for fall. I will be living in these A.P.C. sweats and Black Crane top. The bag was just a little something extra to put my products in when I travel. The Mars boots were a very, very generous gift from my mother-in-law on our trip to Durham, from Vert & Vogue (a new favorite store!). They’ve been on my wishlist for so long. Rachel Comey can do no wrong.

My closet is still missing some pieces that would be good for fall layering and on into winter, to really make my wardrobe versatile. I’ve recently worn out several key items that need to be replaced, like my white tank that I mysteriously ripped at a party and beloved chambray button down shirt that was worn too thin. Even now I can’t let it go and still wear it around the house and on walks despite the many holes that have formed. I hope to get some of these items or find similar alternatives on a thrifting adventure.
