Mustard + Khaki

What I Wore: Erranding

Boden leaf print dress
Dress, Boden (via eBay); cardigan, J. Crew Factory; bag, Target

Was there ever a less appealing title? Sorry about that, peeps. I think the outfit is a lot better than the title suggests, but that’s because I’m all about the basic print-dress-plus-cardigan combo. Also, Boden jersey dresses. So easy, so comfortable. If I didn’t constantly restrain myself on eBay, I would probably have three dozen of them in my closet. Hoarding problem? Bah!

I also wore this dress like this before, and forgot to show you:

And there was this too:

Basically, I’ve worn this dress a lot this year, because it’s easy and because I’m lazy.

Sunday Funday

What I Wore: Sunday

I don’t have much to say about this outfit, really. It’s one of my “uniforms”: J. Crew Factory paperbag waist mini + top + belt. And done. You better believe that this is about as comfy as it gets.

You know what I just discovered? This cool watercolour-effect filter on my Mac. Yep, I am about 15 technological years behind. But, hey, look at my bracelet stack! Yep, I’m also about 15 fashion seasons behind, too.

Plum + Khaki

What I Wore: Weekend-ing

Pants, NYDJ (via consignment); shirt, J. Crew Factory; vest, Old Navy; scarf, Aldo Outlet; bag, MbMJ (via consignment); boots, Target

So, I have a problem: I can’t stop buying plaid shirts from J. Crew. At last count, I have either 4 or 5. This is technically a popover, but really … semantics. The thing is, shirts are so easy to throw over my nursing tanks, and they’re machine-washable. Added bonus: colourful plaids are a slam-dunk to mix and match. So, this is not a bad problem, per se, but since I don’t want to become known as the “plaid shirt lady”, I’ll have to stop this hoarding business.

Something else I have to stop? Wearing these booties with pants, apparently. That … looked a lot more flattering in my head.
