Inspired by the 40s

jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 56

I am currently inspired by the feminine silhouettes of the 1940s, the soft coifs, the bold lips, the high waist…re-imagined into a more modern replication. jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 57jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 58jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 59jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 60jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 61jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 62jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 63

What I Wore: On Point

(what i wore: skirt – vintage from potter’s house, top – tj maxx, heels – banana republic, necklace – vintage from mae’s, lips – cover girl lip perfection in siren)
I don’t know if pointy toe pumps ever really went out but either way, they’re back. They are such a feminine shape and they do wonders for the legs.

The Great White (Blouse)

One of the undeniable staples of a woman’s wardrobe is the white oxford. It’s a classic must-have and can be worn in an infinite amount of ways. I realized yesterday that I have 6…oops I don’t feel guilty.

What I Wore: Lazy

(what i wore: oxford – polo, black skinny jeans – lee, sneakers – forever21, easiest hair ever from here)
Friends, I’m in a rut. The coldish/rainy weather is not getting my creative juices flowing in the form of outfits! I’ll try to pull something fun out of my hat soon.

What I Wore: Boxy Blazer

(what i wore: skinny jeans – lee from tj maxx, tshirt – walmart, strappy sandals – charles david, earrings – vintage from mae’s emporium, boxy blazer – vintage from cheap thrills also seen here)
I was pretty much obsessed with this outfit, it felt very 90s but also seasonally appropriate and fun. I whipped my hair back and forth all day!

What I Wore: All Tied Up

(what i wore: blouse – polo, bowtie – claire’s, earrings – forever21, leather skirt – unknown vintage from potter’s house, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west)
I found this gem of a leather skirt for (wait for it) $5 the other day. I decided to snazz it up with ruffles and bows. My husband told me I looked like a card dealer at a casino. He might be right…

What I Wore: Shades of Gray

(what i wore: skinny jeans – banana republic, Ro’s oxford – polo, booties – vince camuto)
I find it difficult to be adventurous with jeans. I want to be more so, but by the time Friday rolls around, I’m usually feeling lazy and restless. I know this look isn’t quite bold but it was comfortable and understated. In the fall/winter, I tend to borrow from husband’s closet more than usual…

What I Wore: Easy Dressing


(what i wore: dress – unknown, belt – banana republic, boots – forever21)
This dress is one of my go-tos for fall. It’s comfortable and billowy but also feminine.

A Spooky Little Girl like You

Halloween is one of my all-time favorite occasions. I LOVE to dress up in costume. I’m the kind of girl that wears wigs to a concert and noodles, so you can imagine…Luckily, my new husband shares my affinity for playing dress-up and allows himself to be “convinced” to participate.
At our rehearsal dinner, my mom made an extremely lovely video montage of us and we were dressed up in costume in so many of the pictures.
I began to embrace it as our equity. Here are some costumes from years past.
