J.Crew 2008 Andover Peacoat (Find it here! I’d also try this one from L.L.Bean, or the fleece version, which does come in red. And then there’s this one and this one from Lands’ End. And here’s that $38 peacoat I’ve been raving about for years! Great red peacoat option here, too.) / Cole Haan Harrington Riding Boots (Also available in black via Nordstrom. Here’s the entire line of Harrington boots, and there’s a great Harrington sale going on at Zappos. I also really like the Lexi Boot!) / Old Navy Rockstar Jeans (I’m wearing the maternity version, btw.) / Navy Striped Boatneck Tee (You can also find it here. I’m wearing Gap’s maternity version.) / Burberry Tote (In stock here. Current Burberry totes here. This is a splurge, though it is reversible, and therefore two bags in one! That said, I recommend this $48 Faux Leather Tote just as much.)

Yesterday was kind of a disaster. 🙈

Madewell Sunday Shirt (Under $55 with code “REALDEAL” today! It’s sometimes available at Nordstrom, too.) / L.L. Bean Wicked Good Lodge Boots (Also available in leather.) / Old Navy Rockstar Maternity Jeans (The BEST, particularly this pair, which I’m wearing in these photos. With maternity jeans, order your pre-maternity size… if not one size down. I’d honestly order both and return one! Here’s the non-maternity Rockstar version which I’ve yet to try, but I’m going to assume they’re awesome, too. And this is my maternity capsule wardrobe, btw.) / $48 Faux Leather Tote by Street Level / Dachshund Mug / Kate Spade Striped “Charlotte Street” Mug (Also available here.) / Pottery Barn Rug / Reddish Persian Rug / Faux Marble Dining Table / Newer Navy Chairs / Buffet / Framed City Print / Striped Pillows

I’ve been in love with the Madewell Sunday Shirt–sometimes available at Nordstrom, too–for a long time now. (You can see it in a 2017 blog post here!) I’m not sure when it was originally released, but it’s without a doubt the best flannel shirt I’ve ever owned, apart from the L.L.Bean Slightly Fitted Plaid Flannel Shirts, which are obviously more appropriate for fall and Christmas.

Unfortunately, the Madewell shirt is no longer available in the light pink, but I think I like the “pale oyster” color the best anyway! So let’s chat about why it’s so fabulous, ‘kay?

J.Crew Factory Bow-Neck Sweater (Love this one, too!) / Leather Booties (SO COMFY. They run TTS. Quite the deal, too! I love the leopard as well.) / Newer Jeans (My favorite pair from J.Crew Factory!) / Mitch’s Jeans and Button-Down Shirt

Chicagoland Friends: Say yes! Mitch and I would LOVE to meet you today—Saturday, January 12th—at J.Crew Factory at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont (from noon to 4 p.m.) for a fun “Denim for Days” event! 👖
