WhatIWore: Doing laundry can do a lot for your wardrobe. Case in point - these jeans sat in the dirty pile for over a week and jumped out of rotation. Now that they’re back, I’m reinspired! Something about this style pushes me to go a little more edgy (for me, not in general. I totally realize Jessica does not, nor will ever be truly edgy). Just a little more funky. I think the hat weirdly does that too, with it’s slouchy appeal. I actually made it myself!

What:
Hat: Self Made (free pattern off of Ravelry)
Shades: Cactus Flower (old)
Sweater: J.Crew 
Jeans: J.Crew (sold out, but similar style without rips/patches)
Field Jacket: J.Crew 
Boots: Frye 
On Felix: Bear Suit - Columbia, Hat - Marie Chantal
Where:

Running Errands, taking papa lunch

Why: So after knitting my first sweater and practically going cross eyed, I stopped knitting for the majority of the year (making Felix a hat and that’s it) and was feeling in the mood to make something so I started on this hat. I got a stitch off around Christmas, got totally frusterated and started ripping it out, only to have a change of heart and decided to try and life line it (which worked!) I finished it a couple of weeks ago but this is it’s first time on the blog.

WhatIWore: Although I’ve been in a lot of neutrals this winter, in my heart of hearts, I’m a girl who loves color. This dress was a special purchase to wear for opening festitvities at Cardinal but I also wore it yesterday for class. I never, ever, in my life thought I’d wear a dress over jeans, but I kind of like it styled more like a top than a dress. Because it’s so bold, I let it be the star of the show without a lot of extra styling. 

When: February 9, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Dress (as top): DvF
Jeans: J.Crew
Boots: Modern Vintage (old)

WhatIWore: This post is definitely more about my little boy than my simple outfit! I never thought I’d love dressing up my son as much as I do! We wore this yesterday to get waffles and take them over to daddy at the distillery. All of the staff at Cardinal Spirits wear red plaid so I wanted little Felix to match (see a photo of him with his papa here). Also, the weather was incredible (high 50s!) so I didn’t have an extra coat - just a jean jacket was perfect!

When: February 8, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Northern Lights’
Chambray: J.Crew (similar)
Jean Jacket: Anthropologie
Jeans:J.Crew
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell (old)

On Felix:
Hat:
Marie Chantal (gift)
Onesie: Target
Socks: Old Navy

Freshly Picked (gift)

Where: Waffles from Bea’s Soda Shop at Hopscotch then over to Cardinal Spirits

WhatIWore: Jumping in for a very quick post today! Here’s what I wore last Saturday to have breakfast with my boys out (and get that waffle I’d be craving during my Whole30!) and then for errands. This week has been busy. Adam’s been full steam ahead on the Cardinal Spirits (pictured in the background!) opening and Felix and I have been doing little projects to help them out, along with attending their evening events. Between all of that and teaching, it’s been a stretch to get outfit photos into our day! I did buy a couple of new dresses to wear to events, so I hope we’re able to snap photos of those!

When: January 31, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Northern Lights’
Sweater: J.Crew Factory 
Jeans: Guess
Coat: Elie Tahari, gift
Boots: L.L. Bean Signature

Where: Breakfast at Uptown, Errands
