Restyled

My favorite thing about fashion blogs, are seeing tons of different outfits and great new styles. However, sometimes I would like to see a little more repetition of pieces. I know fashion blogs are aspirational for most but, I know personally I can’t afford to wear things once. If that’s how you feel then today & Thursday’s outfits are for you. I’m taking something I’ve styled on the blog before and showing you another way to style it.

Today we have this pair of cropped flare denim. I styled it here in a very summer appropriate way. Today I want to show you how I plan on wearing it this fall. (Hopefully it’s cool enough where you live to style them this way. I was about to have a heat stroke in this cashmere sweater when we were shooting.)

I love turtlenecks for fall/winter. It’s funny because until about 2 or 3 years ago I HATED them. Like I would not wear a mock neck, turtleneck, NOTHING. My how things change. This one is cashmere and oh so soft. I got a few last year and they are amazing. A little pricey but, oh so worth it!

I paired it with the same belt and just added some black heels and this baker boy hat. I love a good hat, because some days your hair just won’t cooperate; or maybe you are on day 3 of not washing your hair. Hats solve all these problems. This style is very popular this year in a variety of colors and textures. I also love that it’s finally something different from my typical wide brim floppy hat. (Not that I still don’t love those.)

It Needs a Belt

Do you ever wear an outfit and think, “This is cute but something is missing?” I wore a similar outfit to the one below last week and every time I walked by a mirror I had this thought. Finally halfway through the day a light bulb went off, and I said, “DUH!!! You need a belt!!” It’s funny how something so small can completely make or break an outfit. I’m not sure what it is but, I put the belt on when I got home, and instantly loved my outfit 1000 times more. The same thing happens sometimes with jewelry, shoes, or a bag. It’s so true that accessories can make or break an outfit.

Keeping this post short and sweet today since I’m in NYC. I’m going to work on Thursday’s post and then go out exploring. I have the whole day to myself, as my best friend had to work and J doesn’t come until tomorrow. Honestly though, I love a day spent in the city wandering around by myself with nothing to do and nowhere to go. There’s something so relaxed yet spontaneous about those kinds of days. They are some of my favorites.
