Blushing (Almost) Spring

DSC_0142DSC_0131DSC_0132DSC_0121

How do I so easily forget the tease that Spring really is? I’m stating for the record that I will weather it WELL, friends!

I’m going to weather this (long) transition into warmer temps well, and I’m going to wear it well. I’m going to pull out some of my forgotten Spring staples and mix them up with my OOOTD. Yes, that’s THREE O’s for Optimal Outerwear Of The Day.

It’s definitely not time to ditch the coats and jackets in my climate zone. But promise me something. No matter what weather pattern you find yourself facing, have some fun!!

Here I pulled out my favorite blush sweater from my summer box and then topped it with a warm wool coat. Voila! Ready for anything, because the afternoon these photos were taken I sat in the bright sun sans coat in front of my house, and even got a little rosy kiss of sun on these cheeks!

I hope your Monday is filled with sunshine and sweet kisses!!

XX, Megan

A New Way To Walk

Sometimes the vibe of an outfit is JUST RIGHT. It’s all about the moment– your mood, the weather, the motion of the day. All RIGHT!

I have to say that I’ve gotten loads of wear out of these flares and the options are limitless. They are the pant that keeps on giving. Be aware that they do run LONG, as in I always have to wear a heel with these– whether the outfit calls for sandals or boots.

And here’s my new-again camel coat. I absolutely love it when a piece of clothing goes from simply being cherished (as in it was a thing of the past) to becoming the thing you most reach for in your closet.

Here’s to shopping your closet, recycling your own wardrobe, and tweaking those classics you just wish you wore more often! Cheers to Thursday, friends!

Frozen Blues

Now when taking outfit photos we have started to play a game called “Find the Best Snow Heap”. Extra points for height, whiteness, and accessibility to the road. 🙂 This pile is my favorite so far!

These boyfriend jeans are a staple in my closet. Purchased on super sale at J.Crew nearly seven years ago, I reach for them constantly! I’ve been on the hunt for another pair as I am always afraid that ripped knee may give out entirely. Here are a few of my current favorites in the boyfriend denim realm: here, here, here, here, here.

I always dig denim on denim, especially when you can lux it up with leather extras. If I’m not mistaken this look takes us through a Tuesday that feels like a Monday! So hang in there, lovely readers!!! And Happy Tuesday.

Saturday Night Special

DSC_0157DSC_0154DSC_0118

We’ll be eating out as a family this Valentine’s day, but I couldn’t resist posting a date-night look for those of you who will be hitting the town tomorrow (or tonight).

It stands to reason that I always opt for the most unreasonable, unseasonable clothing for date nights. In this case, probably the skirt. You know what Cake says, “Short skirt, long jacket.”

And speaking of jackets, I’ve had this baby since college and I just gave her a refresh with all new buttons last week. What do you think? I’ve linked some other camel coats below in the details as this one’s time stamp makes it a true vintage piece.

May your Saturday be full of happiness!
