Road Trip Outfit






blazer-Banana Republic(similar here), wrap-ModCloth(similar here), scarf-American Apparel, fedora-Mikkat Market, jeans-Asos, boots-Old Navy, bag-Elizabeth Arden




For a road trip I like to keep it fairly simple, jeans, boots, blazer.  But I also like to have layers hence, the scarf and dramatic open-front cardigan.  You may recall my fedora from this post, I think its a super chic travel accessory, as in my Elizabeth Arden tote last seen here. There's always a lot of advice on what to wear while traveling, particularly for planes. For me no matter the travel it starts off with a good pair of jeans. By good, I mean a pair that fits well, while still being comfortable to sit in, is a dark rinse, which can be dressed up if need be, and a pair that makes me feel good about myself, i.e. skinny. That's a lot to ask for, but once you find that pair, buy 2.   The rest of my usual travel outfit consists of a super-soft t-shirt, cardigan/sweater and then a structured blazer.  It's all really  matter of balancing comfort and chicness.

Where was I going on this day you ask? Well, since you're wondering I had a girls overnight trip to Bedford Spring Spa & Resort!!! Stay tuned for that post, it will blow your mind!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
