Spring wardrobe update.

image

One of my biggest struggle since getting married and becoming a mom is making sure I dress appropriate. At 29, it’s time to dress like an adult even if I am totally faking my adult status. Since I have lost the majority of my baby weight from Frankenbaby, it was time to add some new pieces to my wardrobe. I’ve read up on capsule wardrobes thanks to some Facebook mommy groups and Pinterest. While I love the idea I love clothing and can’t stop sewing it for myself.

Ideally I would have sewn myself some new shorts and tops, but I don’t have the time or the ability since the majority of our house is in boxes for our eventual move (buying a house is a frustrating process, but that’s another post). So a quick trip was made to Ross to see what they had. I seriously love Ross. They always have the cutest items for wardrobe and home.

I picked up six pieces that all with work with each other and the other items in my current wardrobe. My goal is to have a super simple grab and go wardrobe.

This outfit was actually chosen for family photos. I loved the simple elegance of the top. It is a ballerina pink with lace overlay and some bling details at the neck line. The shorts are the softest denim I have ever felt. They have some bling details on pockets as well. I’ve wanted some white shorts or pants for awhile now but until now I couldn’t commit.

I saw this high low tunic and fell In love with it instanty. It’s flowly and a light weight cotton so it’s perfect for the warm days of the south west. It should pair perfectly with short, pants and leggings make it a very versatile piece. I snagged a pair of distressed capris to replace a pair of my favorite distressed jeans that are slowly becoming dryer lent.

The last set I got was a simple plaid button down and some high waisted shorts. The shorts are another item oven been looking to add for some time now. I just love the colors in the plaid. The coral and teal go really beautifully together.

 

I have aver already started mixing in my current wardrobe. For a look at my outfits, check out Instagram for daily updates!

Stay tuned for all my sewn pieces that will be made after our move.

Mint to Be

Do you feel like you could walk into a room and just make everyone’s jaw drop?  I think with this Fashion Friday’s outfit, anyone could!  This is a go to office outfit: stylish but sexy, in an office appropriate way.  Honestly if I could I would wear this every week because this oozes professional but sexy at the same time.  Want to make it more fun for after work parties? Loose the blazer and let your hair down or leave it half up/half down to keep it casual.  Don’t forget to strut your stuff ladies.

Fashion Friday: Winter Wonderlust

Winter Wonderlust

Is it just me, or has someone else had the desire to just glow as bright as the snow on the ground? I feel like I’m alone on that one, but this week’s fashion is Winter Wonderlust.  The soft smokey eye to ease the beautifully white party dress with the stylish square side bag.  The loose curls to complement the white pearls to give it an elegant touch to this business gal.  Hope you make this outfit yours this weekend.  Strut your stuff Snow Queen.

Fashion Friday: Seeing Red

It’s the holiday season and we all want to strut our stuff when it counts the most.  Wanting to show off my style at all the parties this week, I wanted to stand out in a dark yet vibrant way: black and red.  The red against the black makes everything seem dark, yet seductive. Lets be honest, who doesn’t want that with the start of a new year? So lets see how things flow with this powerful outfit in the party scene.  Show off your style too this holiday season and don’t hold back.  Don’t forget to strut your stuff ladies.
