What I Wore | Denim on Denim

    

WhatIWore: Can I get a high five for a good hair day? And a baby who naps long enough to curl said hair, put on lipstick and get completely ready for the day before he gets up? I didn’t have much going on yesterday other than some quick errands. The weather was bright and sunny and not completely freezing so I opted for a lighter jacket over denim on denim.

Recipe for Style | Chambray, Denim & Camel

WhatIWore: A couple of weeks ago when I was researching ideas on how to wear my camel coat, I came across a few denim and camel combos and I really like how they look! The key for me is how the chambray and denim have the same undertones but are a different shade. Imagine they started out the same color and the chambray just got washed 100 more times than the jeans. To pull it together, I love the camel coat on top, but navy or olive green would work too!

What I Wore | Professor Quirk

WhatIWore: Guess what?!? I’m back at work! I’m teaching one course (Fashion Illustration and Research) as an adjunct at IU and this is what I wore for our second class meeting. I have such a great group this year and I can’t wait to see what they draw. I don’t fancy myself to be a real professor, but I really do love teaching! I also like that art teachers can be a little more creative in their wardrobes. Our department is pretty casual so I usually mix it up with anything from dark denim to skirts and dresses.

When: January 14, 2015

What:
Shades: Target (similar, on clearance!)
Necklace: Lulu*s
Blouse: Yumi Kim via Anthropologie (sold out)
Skirt: Target
Tights: We Love Colors
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Teaching

Why: I felt so great in this outfit - it’s a lot more dressed up than my normal day in day out in mommy gear. That said, the top has a great front plaket for nursing. Oh yea… for those of you asking…here’s my haircut! I actually want to get another inch or two chopped off soon! 

What I Wore | Faded Neon

   

WhatIWore: Here’s a quick look at what I wore on Sunday morning for a run to the grocery story. We’ve been loving our meals for this year’s edition of the Whole 30 and honestly, it makes me really happy to see a cart full of beautiful, healthy food. Also, our Kroger just got a make over and it’s insane! They were frying up hot donuts! They have a rotating sushi bar! I treated myself to a green juice instead but I will no doubt give into temptations down the road! 

When: January 11, 2015

What: 
Hat:: Nordstrom Rack
Shades: Karen Walker
Chambray: J.Crew Factory (similar)
Sweater: Tracy Reese
Jeans: J.Crew
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Weekend errands

Why: I’m into sweaters so much more this year than ever before. This faded neon version is from a couple years ago and one of the brighter pieces in my current closet. I’ve been resorting to the same muted palette a lot since Felix came along but I’d like to get more into a colorful groove!
