Stay-At-Home Mom Style Remix: Four

blouse/ Kohl's (gift) | necklace/ gift | pants/ Post Exchange | flats/ WalMart

I'd like to introduce you to my favorite blouse. I got it for Christmas a couple years ago, and when I was working I wore it constantly. I just love the pattern, the flow and the ruffles something fierce. But once I stopped working, it sat in my closet, sad and alone. I don't get much of a chance to wear it any more, but I figured a PTA meeting was enough of an excuse to pull it back out. I included it in my 30 pieces because I love it so, and want to find ways to incorporate it with the rest of my very casual wardrobe. I thought pairing it with my olive cargo pants would dress it down enough, and even though this outfit still feels a little dressy, I like it!

Happy weekend, y'all!

One Piece Many Ways: Flannel Shirt Edition


I'm super excited to be participating in the One Piece, Many Ways link-up again! (You can find my first attempt here.) This time, I chose another of my favorite remixable pieces, my jewel-toned flannel shirt! I love this thing. I love that it's jewel-toned, because I have a thing for those, but also the colors make it appropriate for spring and summer, while the fact that it's flannel make it appropriate for fall and winter, so it can be worn year-round. 

The first two outfits are from previous posts (found here and here), but I've worn it so many other ways that haven't made it onto the blog yet, plus I found a few new ways to wear it while playing around in my closet for this challenge! It is so versatile, and definitely a closet staple for me. 

flannel shirt/ Old Navy | necklace/ Caroline G. | white tee and shorts/ Gap | sandals/ Payless

I think this is a perfect end of summer casual outfit. I love pattern mixing, but sometimes you just have to tone it down or break it up a bit, and I think the plain white tee works really well for that here.

sweater/ thrifted | jeans/ Old Navy | boots/ Kohl's
This, on the other hand, is totally a late fall/winter outfit. And also one of my all-time favorite outfits. I think wearing it under a sweater that is also jewel-toned really gives the whole outfit a put-together feel (though it could just be me). 

vest/ JC Penney | jeans and flats/ Target
Another very fall outfit. A simple layer like a military vest gives it just the right touch, and while usually I'm a little wary of wearing two items that both have collars together, I think it works here. Also, meet my new cognac flats. I love them. They say hi.

dress and flats/ Target
I think this would be a cute casual date night outfit out with the hubs. Also, can you tell I like pairing this with fuscia yet? I love that the flannel really dresses down what would otherwise be a fairly dressy dress.

boots/ Kohl's
And because I couldn't decide if I liked it better with flats or boots, I'm including it both ways so you can help me decide. I'm torn. I love dresses with boots, but I also really like how it looks with the flats. DECISIONS DECISIONS.

capris/ Post Exchange | flats/ Target
And for yet another very-fall outfit, I paired it with my olive cargo capris and leopard flats. It's simple, but I really like how it looks. Also, can we just take a second to acknowledge that my hair is actually (almost) behaving itself in this picture? Because it wasn't in this one:


No, that is not me trying to look sexy. That is me flipping my hair out of my face right as the self-timer went off. I feel like I should audition for an Herbal Essences commercial now. 

Anyway, there you have it! This might be my all-time favorite piece of clothing, and I'm really happy with all of the looks I've made with it. Can't wait to go check out all the other remixes in the link-up, maybe I'll find even more ideas for this shirt! You can check them out, too, right here:

Stay-At-Home Mom Style: Ready For Fall

Necklace/ Caroline G. | Sweater/ Gap (gifted forever ago) | cargo pants/ Post Exchange | flats/ Target

I love the colors in this outfit. I love coral with purple, purple with olive, and coral with olive, so it was a no-brainer to use all three in one outfit. Sorry for wearing a sweater, as I know it's still hothothot where some of you live, but it's definitely cooling off here in the bay! Then of course I added my leopard flats for that extra oomph (because you know I can't put together an outfit without at least some pattern). Can you tell I'm ready for fall?

And if you haven't yet, make sure to check out my guest post on My New Favorite Outfit for a little bit more about me and my style, and also a giveaway!
