FALL DECOR – AMAZON
October 14, 2020
When it comes to fall/holiday decor are you a jack-o-lantern, ghost and skeletons type or more of a pumpkins, leaves and some wheat grass type? My husband and I love to decorate for the holidays but we are definitely more pumpkins, leaves and wheat grass kind of people. Neutral decor that can last until the Christmas decorations go up. I found all of these on Amazon and they can last you from early fall through Thanksgiving. I don’t know about you but our Christmas decorations go up Thanksgiving weekend 😬

Hurry! Everything at Old Navy is 50% off! When they have sales like this I like to stock up on some of their more expensive items like jackets and pants for the kids. Spending $20 or more on Jean for babies is a lot especially when they’re only going to get destroyed but these cozy lined pants are under $11 now! Shakets are very in right now and these men’s one are under $40 now. I’ve had my eye on this Sherpa jacket for a while but haven’t pulled the plug, like I’ve said, I often add items to my cart only for them to never make it in to my closet but this one may be making to trip home with me now 😂

OLD NAVY BASICS
October 2, 2020
Vintage Crew Neck Sweatshirt | Luxe Crew-Neck Long Sleeve | Relaxed Cozy Waffle Knit Henley | Mock-Neck Sweater | Faux Wrap Leopard Top | Loose Thermal Knit
I am and will forever be a T-shirt and jeans girl. A good basic tee or sweater is right up my alley and I have been loving Old Navys’ basics this season. Very on trend and the fit and feel is amazing, they’ve definitely stepped up in the quality department. These are some of my favorites this season. I mostly wear black, grey and white but I love this mustard color this season! I have the top middle long sleeve and it’s so nice! The fabric is soft and slightly stretchy and falls so nicely when it’s on. I’m really loving the faux wrap leopard print shirt too. You could wear it with black jeans and heals for date night or ripped straight leg and some loafers for day to day. I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone a little and this is the perfect top for that!

GETTING BACK TO MY LOVE OF FASHION
September 23, 2020
In all honesty, I am not the most stylish person. I’m a working mom with two kids. Easy, casual style is me. I work full time as a Dental Hygienist and for the last eight years have spent my days in grey or black scrubs. Not exactly exciting style! And now thanks to COVID I’m wearing a hair cap, two face masks, a shield and an isolation gown too. CFDA Fashion Awards here I come! But in all seriousness I am very thankful for the PPE I have to protect myself and my patients, but, I miss getting up and getting “dressed” for the day in fun, pretty clothes. For a while my style outside of work has consisted on what is easiest to wear when taking care of kids or nursing as I am sure many of you are in the same situation.
I truly love online window shopping. I often will add items that I wouldn’t typically wear but that I love only to never purchase them. Why wear something nice if it is only going to get ruined by messy little hands or drool? I recently started to take some risks and purchase so of the items that I had added to my shopping cart and began getting excited again about fashion and style. I spent my 20’s going out to bars and clubs with my friends or my boyfriend (husband now), spending late nights in NYC and then BAM, you have kids and for the most part that stops and it stops pretty abruptly. You loose yourself a little when you have children and sometimes it takes a while to get back to being yourself 100%. It has taken me four+ years to finally feel like my own person again and with that comes spending time exploring clothes and fashion that I currently love.
My go to brands have always been JCrew, GAP, loft, Madewell, Old Navy. Seeing a pattern here? Casual style; t-shirt and jeans, neutral color palate. Clothes that are easy to mix and match, wear them day to day or dress them up for a night out with girlfriends or date night with the hubs. I’ve recently rediscovered Abercrombie and I feel a little bit like my 16 year old self hoping to fit in with my A&F t-shirt. I do find it funny that back then they would never think of using black as a color in their line and now it is mostly Black, White and Grey but hey, I am not complaining. The majority of what I wear is black and Grey. However, their basics and bodysuits are amazing and their denim is on point.
So, if you’re like me and feeling like you’re in a rut with your style or are just looking for some inspiration then stick around. Whether it’s brands I love or ones that I lust over, current deals or shopping local I plan on exploring all of it to see where my style takes me.
