After a hefty six-month break, I’m starting to regularly shoot outfits again. It was a maternity leave of sorts, I guess. 😜 It’s funny; I truly thought I’d never want to do it again. I mean, I was doing it occasionally, trying to keep the blog going. But I wouldn’t say that I was thrilled about it. I was just so tired. And I looked tired. And felt tired. And my closet was a mess from the move. I didn’t feel good in most of my old clothing, either.
Here we are, though! I still feel and look tired, haha. And my closet’s still a mess. And I only have a handful of pants that I can zip. (Because I bought new ones. I highly recommend doing that after having a baby. Really helpful!) There are also still tons of days when the best I can manage is a pair of stained jeans and a sweatshirt. But I’m kind of feelin’ it again! Lately, when I look put-together, I feel put-together. And that somehow translates to better productivity, a tidier and more organized home, and a more upbeat attitude.
Babies sure do a number on us, huh? Good thing they’re so cute. ;)
Anyway, let’s talk about the giant Talbots Friends & Family Homecoming Sale! Use code “FRIENDS” to take 30 percent off your entire order. Here are my faves:
Scalloped Cape: Omg. Have you ever seen something SO PERFECT for fall? I squealed when I saw it. I shall love you forever, you Perfect Thing you. Haha. Kidding but also not kidding. (Runs like a cape would: a bit oversized. Do not size up.) Love it as much as I do?! If so, definitely check out the navy buffalo plaid one from Talbots! J.Crew Factory also carries a navy one that’s adorable.
Plaid Boots: Obsessed. They’re selling out pretty quickly, but they’re also available in navy and in black.
Essex Pants: I wore them in this post. LOVE THEM. Ordering them in the Curvy fit next because I hear that those have a higher rise. Size down.
Skinny Cords: Always after the perfect pair of cords! I’m guessing that these won’t be skin-tight, which is kind of what I’m looking for… but I like the look! And the colors are gorgeous.
Tartan Bow Mules: Stop. It. I also love this pair from J.Crew.
Long Camel Blazer: I wore this in this post, too. It’s definitely my most-worn blazer at the moment. The long cut is just SO flattering, and it’s very soft! Love that it’s kind of a cross between a blazer and a coat. Runs slightly large.
Long Houndstooth Blazer: Same but in houndstooth! Also in my closet. ;)
Noodle Socks: Had to order these! In the name of Noodle, guys.
Tassel Flats: SO. COMFY. The leather is insanely soft and there’s a ton of cushioning. If you’re feet always hurt you like mine do, you’ll love these. TTS.
Cozy Boots: Don’t these look awesome?! Might need for the upcoming Chicago winter…
Gold Tassel Loafers: Stunning. If I didn’t already own a pair of gold loafers… but alas. I own one zillion pairs of loafers because I have loafer problems. (Sorry, Friends. I’m a glass of Chardonnay in…)
Suede Booties: Yes! So chic.
Black Velvet Bow Clutch: Perfect for all the upcoming holiday parties and events!
Blue Wool Coat: In a sea of black coats, dare to stand out. (But really. Colorful coats are my THING. Beat the gloom!)
Navy Check Scarf: I have a similar one and I always get questions about it. This is a classic that you’ll have forever!
Soft Leopard Dress: Leopard dresses seem to be all the rage right now. I have this one from J.Crew Factory, but it sold out almost immediately. But the Talbots version is SO similar. And apparently it’s super soft!
Over and out.
