Red, White and Striped All Over: 11.11.15

What Nicole Wore: Red, White and Striped All OverHi, you’ll be able to find me in this blanket scarf non-stop from here on out. The colors in this are SO stunning and I love the simplicity of the red, white, and blue.  The colors aren’t exactly winter #sopatriotic, but these are the colors I constantly wear and I immediately bought this scarf when I saw it online a couple weeks ago. I did end up halving this scarf so that I wouldn’t be as overwhelmed, as I mentioned in last week’s post.

I tied in the primary colors by pairing this scarf with a red and white striped 3/4 sleeve boatneck top.  The weather in Louisville has been so touch and go lately; 70 degrees one day, 40 the next so wearing pieces that are easy to add and remove has been important. I pulled on my utility vest to add some texture and another layer.

My olive utility vest is a kids size, but here is a similar style in ladies sizes!  Olive is one of the it colors for fall and this military inspired vest can be styled so many different ways. I love that this ring looks like I’m wearing multiple rings and is adjustable.

What Nicole Wore: You're So Classic

This week has seemed hella long. I’ll be super happy to get back in my normal routine next week; just finding a time to do laundry was a real struggle…yikes.  Maybe one day I’ll get the hang of this time management thing.

This week I remixed this dress that I wore a few weeks ago on the blog.  It’s been in the mid 80s most of the week and I opted for pairing this cute plaid dress with neutral pieces like my jean vest, a light tan saddle bag, leather ankle boots and my black Kendra Scott druzy necklace. These pieces made the look more appropriate for the slowly transitioning seasons.

My jean vest is perfect for this time of the year — it’s great during the cool mornings, but isn’t too heavy (or hot) during the day. While everyone and their mother (and my mother for that fact) lists a jean jacket as one of their wardrobe essentials, I actually don’t own one. I know. I haven’t found a fit that I love and I’m big on not settling for bad sizing or a cut that I don’t like.

This dress comes in a lightweight fabric and the crochet hem adds a feminine touch onto this classic print that we all love. Another plus is the flattering cut. There’s a couple different dress styles that I enjoy, but something about the fit and flare always draws me in. Being pear shaped, I always want to accentuate my waist, so the nipped in waist is a win-win for me.

These booties are the latest addition to my shoe collection. I’d been looking for a pair with a small heel, maximum comfort and in a shade of leather that I loved. This pair has a 1 3/4 inch square heel that makes it possible for me to wear them all day and stand on my feet for eight hours at work.

One of our local parks in Louisville is pretty close to my house so I went out a few weeks ago and explored while snapping some photos. How cute are these bright silos?

 

What Nicole Wore: Yellow & White

This shirt was a summer thrift find at my local Goodwill; I was immediately drawn to the color and the tie front.  It constantly seems like I’m working on expanding the color palette in my wardrobe — blue is a color I truly love in every shade. I have to make a real conscious effort to not have a monochromatic closet.

It’s been really hard especially since I’ve started doing some pre-fall shopping. But, with all the fun new fall colors coming out I shouldn’t struggle that much (must avoid navy). There’s so many great olive, burgundy, cognac and blush pieces that I’m drooling over. See: this shirt, this fringe cross body bag (it’s under $25), and these t-shirt dresses (HELLO! on major clearance under $8, why are you still here?!).

What Nicole Wore: Yellow and White

I love that the shirt is high low and features a geometric pattern that makes it very summery. I’ve gotten a chance to throw this on with chino shorts in different colors as well as solid skirts.

Speaking of skirts, how are we feeling about the leather skirt trend? My mom always says I look like a street walker whenever I try one on and I legitimately can’t tell if she’s joking or not, but I am loving these options right now.
