Outfits

I am not even gonna say how sick of winter I am because I say…

We went to Florida for a long weekend to see family and unsuccessfully escape the polar vortex. Sadly, we arrived just in time for rain and it only cleared up as we left. So I packed a bunch of stuff I didn’t need, because it turned out to be cold and rainy, and my dreams of shooting great beach getaway content for you were squashed. However, the sun did come out for long enough that I was able to wear some of my favorite new beach dresses and snap a few pics. Even though it wasn’t the most photo-worthy trip, we had fun spending time with James and it was kind of nice not having to worry about looking cute for pics or dressing cute (it was basically just bundle up with whatever warm clothes we brought for the first two days). Still, I got to squeeze in some cute looks that I definitely recommend if you’re heading somewhere warm sometime soon.

This has been the longest week ever. Did I mention it’s my birthday week? I…

What a week! I kind of can’t believe I survived. In every which way it was completely crazy. I know I say this all. the. time, but I am so over winter. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with the cold. I wasn’t even excited for our first real snow of the winter on Monday. Hence, I’m getting a bit lazy with my outfits, but I can’t help it! I’m feeling totally uninspired by this weather, but since it shows no sign of letting up, I’m trying to find ways to add a little spring to my winter layers. Here’s what I wore this week.

Recently I went to a baby shower in the Connecticut on a frigid day. I wanted to look cute and slightly spring-y (or at least not wear all black or my current uniform of the biggest, warmest sweater I can find). As per usual I wasn’t liking anything in my closet, so i ordered a dress that is actually the perfect winter to spring dress.

After going through a major dress phase, winter has finally gotten to me, and all I want to wear is jeans and a sweater. However, when you work in fashion, you gotta step up your jeans and sweater outfit game. My go-to strategy? A statement coat and a great pair of shoes.

It’s been a gross week of cold, wet weather. The good news? It’s also been a short week! Honestly, after being super indulgent and lazy over the long weekend, I didn’t feel like getting dressed this week. The slushy, gross weather didn’t help. Luckily, it was more of a grind it out on big projects kind of week at work, so I didn’t have to get dressed up for any events or presentations so I went with a more casual vibe.

Here’s what I wore to New York Fashion Week this week.

I often get asked for my mom wardrobe essentials – the tried and true items that I can wear to chase around our son and dog and still feel presentable for a play date, playground run-in, or lunch meeting. Even though I love shopping, I work in fashion and live for pretty dresses, you might be surprised to know that I actually don’t have that many clothes in my closet. I try to invest in quality basics that I can wear over and over again, especially now that I’m a mom. Frankly, I just don’t have time to think about what I’m going to wear and I need pieces that are versatile, comfy and yet look put-together. These are the wardrobe staples that as a mom I rely on and wear almost every day.

I wanted these overalls the minute I saw them even though they’re from one of my favorite maternity lines, Hatch Collection, I knew they would fit because the line actually designs clothes you can wear at all stages — not pregs, pregnant, and post-partum. As anyone who has had a baby knows, your body changes so much during pregnancy and then post, and having high-quality clothes that you actually love that are comfortable and chic is so hard to find.

Let’s face it — going to dinner with couple friends is not just an excuse to catch up, but also an excuse to show other cute couples how cute (and stylish) you are. I mean I don’t know about you, but I’ve got two usual ways of dressing — for the office or for weekends at home. So the only time I get to wear something that’s at all sexy or fun is when we go out, and these days, our idea of a wild night out is a late dinner with friends (god, when did we get so old). But for some reason, picking out an outfit, even if we’re just going to dinner with good friends who couldn’t care less what I look like, stresses me out. It’s probably because I don’t have a lot of “going out” clothes now that hitting the bars and clubs isn’t in my regular weekend lineup. Here are my favorite outfit ideas for going to dinner with couple friends.

Vacation is officially over, and I for one, am mourning the end. Luckily, it was…

After an amazing ski vacation in Park City, we are back in the city and…

would have probably slacked in the dressing department this week, but I had so many holiday events and parties that it wasn’t really an option. Here’s what I wore to work this week.

The second I saw this dress, I fell in love. I love the colors and pattern. It’s such a chic way to wear florals in winter, and it’s in the neutral palette that I’m finding myself falling back on.

By now you guys know I love me a big cozy sweater, and they’re basically all I live in during the winter. Which is why this sweater dress has become one of my favorite pieces.

This has been a loooonnng week and yet, it’s kind of flown by. Anyone relate…

I don’t love to wear dresses that scream “holiday”. I like to go for something…

The office holiday party is always the hardest to dress for. You want to look…

Sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these posts. I haven’t forgotten, but…
