Wearing it Now: Collars, Dots, and Knits Oh My!

Wearing it Now: Collars, Dots, and Knits Oh My!

In the midst of researching for an upcoming style series for the blog, I’ve been totally closet crushing on Sarah Vickers and feeling the New Englander vibes. As I’ve been pouring over Sarah’s Classy Girls Wear Pearls blog and Pinterest board, it occurred to me that I don’t wear button up shirts enough. I have always been drawn to that casual, borrowed from the boys oxford shirt look, but with such broad shoulders I have a difficult time finding button up shirts that fit me well. I absolutely can’t stand when a top or blazer is too small in the shoulders and feels restricting when I move around. To avoid turning into the Hulk, I ended up just avoided button up shirts altogether for years.  Read More

Wearing it Now: The Tourist Tee

Wearing it Now: The Tourist Tee

The Mister and I had a night out together this weekend (thanks Grandpa) and we went to a local beer garden with some friends. I’m regularly not a beer drinker, but when in Rome do as the Romans do. Anywho, for the night I sported my favorite new souvenir from our recent trip to California- a t-shirt from Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa, California. While we were in Napa we made a special trip up to Santa Rosa to visit this brewery, which is one of the best in the country. The infamous brews didn’t disappoint, and it wasn’t until we got there that we discovered that the joint’s pizza was equally as good as the beer. Really though, I would go on a trip to Santa Rosa just for another slice. Okay a whole pizza but who’s counting 🙂 . Read More

Wearing it Now: Black, White, and Cabernet

The Mister and I just got back from a trip to California last week. He travels quite a bit for work and I tag along for the good destinations when I can. We spent two days in San Francisco then drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and up Highway 101 to Calistoga in Napa Valley. A packing post will be up on the blog soon, so I won’t go into what was in my suitcase, but wanted to share my favorite look from the trip. After a red-eye back into D.C. followed by a days long Napa hangover (totally worth the pain) I am now recovered from my zombie like state and finally sharing this “wearing it then” post.  Available pieces are in the Shop page.

Wearing it Now: Heirloom Knits

I am quite partial to red, and you can’t go wrong with the knit, denim, and boots combination for fall. A massive rainstorm is on the forecast, and today I will be out and about with the boys running errands and getting some time in at the park before the downpour. I’ve got a vintage cotton t-shirt on underneath the sweater, and I’m basically on cloud nine that it’s cool enough for boots and layers 🙂 . Read More

Wearing It Now: Tomboy Sundae with a Cherry on Top

Essential to dressing on the double is stocking your wardrobe with a few pieces that really put an exclamation point on the outfit, and in this case a rather red exclamation point. These loafers were a recent purchase and I am utterly smitten. I have always loved loafers but never wore them much because the ones I had weren’t comfortable. This pair is comfortable, sturdy, and timeless. With plenty of room in the toe box I could even get away with wearing trouser socks with them when it gets cold out. Read More
