Winter in April

Share

Just when I thought spring was here, winter came back in full force. An April day below freezing calls for a warm, comfy outfit. 

I'd consider this another of my power outfits but for different reasons. I always wear these pieces together. My favorite part of this lace blouse is the button detail up the back. I've attempted to wear the lace overlay with a tank underneath and high-waisted, flare jeans once.  I thought it was a bit too NSFW.

There aren't many scenarios where leggings are a good idea for the work place, but this outfit is in perfect balance with the oversized silk blouse and over-the-knee boots.

I'm obsessed with these Tory Burch over-the-knee boots and spent many months searching for them.  I love the classic riding boot style and comfort factor with the low heel.  Admittedly, I have incredibly high standards (and a very real obsession--you'll pick up on this quickly if you keep reading my blog) with shoes.  I'm willing to spend quite a bit for the perfect pair.  Shoes make the outfit, why not?!  To my defense, I snatched these up during a holiday sale. 

All together, There's a touch of fancy and a whole lot of work-appropriate comfort, wrapped up in New York chic black.  This combo will continue to be a go-to until spring decides to stick around for good.

Bonus!  I wasn't the only one in the office that took the same all-black, comfy clothes approach to this chilly day.  Great minds...:)

Comfy, one-piece outfits and Birks. My summer work-from-home uniform ☀️ I’ve done lots of cozy jumpsuit research and the @everlane luxe cotton jumpsuit is one of my favorites. Comes in six colors and under $70! The black-on-black leather Arizon
Hello 👋 checking in to say hi—I hope everyone is doing ok. I took a break from posting outfit inspo because there are much more important issues that should be taking up your feed right now. Keep listening, keep actioning, keep loving. I&rsquo
With so much uncertainty, it’s time to focus on really smart purchases. There’s nothing more reasonable than a dress that works for every season, and I’ve got the one! I styled my slip dress four different ways, one for each season.
If I was going to the office today, this is what I’d wear. Instead, I’m in my #wfh sweats perched in front on another Zoom meeting 🙃
Jax and I are settling into our new normal. For him it’s a whole lot more cuddles and longer walks. For me it’s a new way to wear a neckerchief, among manyyy other things.
