Work Fit Two

Hey, hey! It’s another Monday!

Last week we shot our second dance studio so that means it’s another round of my “Work Fit’s”.

1. “Black and White and…Green?”

I really loved this outfit. I’ve had this shirt hanging on my “to be worn” rack for quite some time. I always kind of thought it was a shirt until I put it on and realized it was more of a shirt dress. To make it work, I wore it with tight and bike shorts since as I’ve said, I need to be able to move when I’m shooting. It was a very comfortable outfit for sure. It came with a belt but I always say (most of the time but now all) to get rid of the belt things come with and use one of your own. A cinched waist was what this outfit needed. I also felt like a black shoe was too predictable to I opted for a fabulous green croc booted heel. Silver jewelry since the belt was silver (a belt I’ve probably had for about 20 years). Black pearls and of course my black hat!

2. “Karl and Leopard”

For this look, I just got these pants in and really wanted to wear them. Again, very comfortable. I paired it with a Karl Lagerfeld shirt and used the red to accessorize. Did it bother me that the red stilettos weren’t the exact shade I needed? All night. But we won’t go there. I love this shirt because it’s all things Paris and fabulous. A black blazer made this a more professional vibe.

3. “Favorite of the Week”

I always have a favorite outfit of the week when I shoot and this one was unexpected. I’ve had these pants for a really long time and never felt the call to wear them until this day. I really like the how the left side of these pants has an extra piece of fabric to add a little fun and movement to the look. A black satin top, and my favorite gold platforms were what really pulled this look together. Gold and black jewelry were the finishing touch.

4. “Feelin’ Fun”

To be very honest I put this outfit together in about five minutes. When I build an outfit no matter how fast I usually start with the pants because that’s what I like most. You may notice a trend of flowey easy to move in pants. I love when there is a shine to them as well. Green and purple are complimentary colors so I felt like this was an easy and quick way to look put together. Gold stilettos for a pop, and layered jewelry tied this vibe together.

Until next week, when I’ll share what I wore in my daily life from grocery shopping to Valentine’s Day adventures! My goal? Sunday to Sunday but we shall see what the week may bring.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope your week brings you good fashion, and maybe a present or two!

Sauntering into Fall

Well, hello there! It’s been a while!

I’ve had a very busy couple of months with travel, work, and mothering that I haven’t had a chance to do much in this space. But, I’m here now! And now is the perfect time to talk about my favorite fall transition tips.

When it comes to heading into Fall your accessories are going to do the talking. Especially the footwear. You can take a basic summer dress and style it perfectly for the cooler season approaching. Here are four ways to smoothly head into the beloved Fall season.

1. Fabrics

When it comes to the cooler season think about the kind of fabric and textures. The grey dress I’m wearing is a very soft but lightweight sweater material.

2. Booties!

They’ll take basically any outfit to a fall level in a very simple way. A peep toed bootie is even better on the days it’s not very cool at all.

3. Colors

Think neutrals or darker tones to really lean into autumn. I truly love to pair navy with other colors in the fall and winter. It can be unexpected.

4. Hats and Scarves

I saved the best for last! Swap out that summer straw hat for a thicker felt brim one. Hair need washed? Grab a hat. Also, a scarf can really add a luxe feel to any outfit. Opt for a lighter one for when the weather is still a little warm.

I don’t know about you, but I’m very ready to bid Summer adieu and say hello to many of our favorite season! Now, go grab your booties and head to the pumpkin patch!

Break It Up

Why hello there!

Today I’m talking about my favorite set and why set’s are such a huge part of your closet.

Today on “What I Pulled…”

…for a birthday party at a distillery!

If I’m being very honest I struggle with wearing things over and over. A capsule wardrobe just isn’t for me. But it is something that I’ve been working on. I’ve always been a fan of a set but I’ll tell ya this one is my favorite and I usually always break up a set. I think the key to a great set is a pattern that you like. In this case its a pattern I love. It goes with just about everything! Don’t be afraid to pair patterns with unexpected things too. I didn’t do that here but the next time I wear one of these you bet I will!

So when you’re shopping I urge you to keep an eye out for cool sets with a pattern you can keep on mixing and matching with many things that are in your closet. And in my case, be forced to wear again. Ha!

Cheers to you all! I’m off to do very suburban Mom things today.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!
