Casual Denim

I had a funny email from a reader one day asking if I ever wear flats and the answer is a resounding "Y.E.S."  I used to be one of those girls who was full time fabulous in sky high heels and a pencil skirt on a daily basis, but as life evolved, so has my footwear.  I am constantly running from project to project, schlepping heavy boxes of tile, walking through wet paint, and it's generally impractical to do any of that in 4 inch Louboutins (although sometimes a bad day is easily remedied by a pair of red soles).

I absolutely adore the denim on denim look, but there is really only one way to wear it: light denim on top, dark on the bottom.  I didn't feel like washing my hair, so I threw on my boo's Southern Tide Hat, ballerina pink satin Chuck Taylor's, and my favorite jacket on the planet.  I literally wear this jacket every single day.  It's been extra cold in Texas this year and my usual jacket wasn't cutting it.  I love how thick this Lululemon Calm and Cozy Jacket is because the tailoring and structure makes it easy to wear to the gym early in the morning and while I'm out and about. 






Jacket : Lululemon | Top : J.Crew | Denim : Current Elliott | Sneakers : Converse

Texture upon texture

I mentioned yesterday that I was racing around town all weekend trying to find a dress for my company Christmas party and, like a huge dingbat, this is what I decided to wear.  Cute? Um, duh.  Warm? Perfect amount of layers.  Practical? B*tch, please!  Who wears three shirts, knee high boots, and the skinniest skinny jeans with zero stretch ever placed on planet earth to the mall while speed shopping for a dress in an hour and a half timeframe?  THIS GIRL.   It took way longer to get undressed and redressed than it did to try on the 15 or so dresses that caught my eye.  Silly little blonde girl...

Anyways, I've been loving the look of the jackets that are out with canvas bodies and leather sleeves.  Instead of running out and buying one, I decided to create the illusion of one with a vest and faux leather jacket.  I think it actually works!  






Vest: J.Crew (old) very similar for $18.97!
Jacket: Sammy Dress, awesome alternative here for $34
T-Shirt: H&M, similar
Clutch: Kate Spade Harrison Street Travel Wallet - ostrich option here
Bracelets: J.Crew Classic Pave' Link, Kate Spade - look at this one!!  Love it!, Banana Republic (in store only)
