Mom needs a new back to school outfit too! Right? After a summer’s worth of cut-offs, breezy tank tops and flip flops, I am ready to dive into fall as well. September is usually gorgeous here in Seattle, so it isn’t quite time to break out fall sweaters and boots. I would love to walk my boys to school that first day in this outfit. Colorful shorts, black flats and a loose fitting blazer. I would wear a tank under to keep it casual. {Come day two, you will most likely find me in workout gear and running shoes.} I hope you are all geared up for school. I am not sure I am. The pace will quicken, the stress will increase, and bedtimes will be earlier. I am going to try and hold on to summer as long as I can. After all, they are only kids once!! Good luck to all of you and your kids! xoxo denise
Road tripping this weekend? Me too! Comfort is key, but you need to look presentable once you arrive at your destination. Easy, cozy pieces [like yogo studio pants and a tissue tee] are essential for comfort. Throw on a few accessories and a jean jacket and you are good to go! Classic Chuck Taylors are casual cool and practical.
Team Thomas is headed to the Canadian Gulf Islands. I can’t wait! [Look for out and about posts next week.]
A Seattle spring day. We can have rain, hail, gloom, and glorious sunbreaks all within the matter of a few hours. Dressing for this unpredictable weather is a bear. Layers remain the key, but the fleece and down give way to lighter pieces.
I am totally crushing on the idea of a bright [and not too expensive] raincoat. The hood is key for school runs, errands and baseball games. It is a total bummer to get caught in a downpour with no coverage. Around here, I could wear this outfit everyday.
Spring in Seattle is not warm. However, it is time to ditch the puffy jacket and tall boots. Why not have a little fun while you are at it?
I will admit. This girl is a total sucker for camouflage. Lately I have been wearing: skinny jeans, a feminine top, and a camo jacket, light colored booties, and a fun colorful clutch.
How would you fit camouflage into your spring wardrobe?
It hasn’t been that warm around the Pacific Northwest in recent weeks. [That might be the understatement of the century, but I won’t get started.] It is also still raining…a lot. Now, while I would love to be wearing my cut-offs, breezy tops and summer sandals, it is simply not feasible when the high reaches 58 degrees.
So, enter my recent “cold summer day” uniform. My Splendid maxi skirt keeps my legs warm, a favorite long and lean tank from Target [my affection has been documented], and a Gap jean jacket. And how do I accessorize? Chuck Taylors to keep my toes dry in the downpours, a scarf [with a pop of color] to keep me from shivering, and my Ray-Bay aviators. I also roll up the sleeves on the jacket and layer bracelets. I am certainly not happy about this weather and I am desperately trying to mix in a few summer pieces.
Just fell in love with polyvore.com! Look what I put together in just a matter of minutes. You really must try it out. Just jump on over to polyvore, click on create, and off you go.
I did create an account, juneheartsfashion, which lets me save my creations and share with all of you. Sure would like to wear this outfit tomorrow, but it is entirely too cold [still!].
I own the Hudson cropped jeans, a trapeze tank top, the Ray-ban aviators, the Splendid sandals, and colorful scarf. I dream of the Marc Jacobs cross-body bag and the kick-ass biker jacket would be a great top layer for a Seattle spring.
