Style: August ’10

I’m really digging this one. Sometimes I base parts of an outfit on something I already own, but I don’t have any of these things except the skinny jeans (and I now own a maternity version too). So yeah… I really want to do some shopping now.

I love the mix of feminine things like the patterned blouse and the bag with a giant bow paired with more masculine pieces like these smart-looking shoes and tortoiseshell glasses. Perfect.

Dear outfit, please appear in my closet, OK?

    I’ve got to go over to the Gap and try on those skinny jeans! I tend to gain weight in my hip area and I have yet to find flattering skinny jeans. I really like the idea of pairing them with a loose top to hide the postpartum tummy pooch!

    mmm yes, i would like that to appear in my closet as well! especially those glasses, so smart looking!

    I love this look!! That bag is so perfect with the green shirt!! Great picks :)

    This makes me so excited for fall! I love the green with the yellow. I think that top is the one Ree Dummond wore on the Today show recently, I remember because it was so cute!

    absolutely love that bag! Maybe i should made my self one?

    So pretty, that green is very fresh, and looks great on us dark haired ladies.

    gorgeous blouse!!! and of course skinny jeans are my #1 loverrrrr ♥

    I am not very tall, so I’d probably go for the “Poshish” pumps instead of the masculine shoes, but they sure are great!

    Oh those jeans are so cute!

    Luvs!

    I LOVE this whole outfit. Amazing.

  14. Kristina August 17, 2010 at 12:04 pm #

    Yep, totally in love with those shoes!

    Emerald Green seems to be a popular color this year! LOVES it!

    I love this!

    I’d also LOVE if you did a pregnancy fashion post or two…I always need inspiration!

    That blouse is so pretty! Love it! And the tote is too cute… I’m already trying to come up with a pattern for it in my mind so that I can sew my own :D

  19. AbraCat August 17, 2010 at 4:03 pm #

    I love the glasses and tote, and I’m finally going to give skinny jeans a try this fall.

  20. Bonnie August 17, 2010 at 4:13 pm #

    And I can just picture you in that blouse sitting out on your porch with its nearly matching “rug”!

  21. Kim August 17, 2010 at 4:55 pm #

    I love that shirt, I saw it at Anthropologie. But $128 for a shirt? No thanks.

  22. Kirsten August 17, 2010 at 6:46 pm #

    Oooh! That bag! It’s adorable.

    I am such a sucker for dark denim, and congrats on baby #2!

    Love this whole outfit, as always. :) The shoes are perfect! I have been looking for a pair of feminine flat oxfords and they are exactly what I wanted. I wish I had the money to buy that shirt and the glasses, as well.
    I always look bad with jeans that have elastic in them as they accentuate “things” even more. I found that the J. Crew Matchstick jeans were non-elastic perfectly fitting skinny jeans. If anyone has the same issue as me, they might be a good option (plus they are good quality).

    That bag might have to be a back-to-school purchase. That bow is perfect!

  26. lauren August 18, 2010 at 9:35 am #

    loooove this!

  27. ashleyD August 18, 2010 at 11:29 am #

    eek! yesterday i ordered some nerdy/masculine glasses yesterday! my total after Rx was only $25! gotta love cheap-o glasses websites!

  28. hailey August 18, 2010 at 3:30 pm #

    I have been drooling over that blouse for months!

  29. Katie O August 18, 2010 at 3:31 pm #

    Have you ever seen one of the Kinies bags in person? Can you vouch for the quality? I just ordered one and am having MAJOR second thoughts… :/

    Congrats on #2! I love your blog! So inspiring! :)

    Can I just wear that whole outfit right now? I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The shirt is amazing (partly because it’s green), the pants are so cute, and I love the bow on the bag. I think you put this one together just for me. I’m 2 weeks away from having a baby and cannot wait to get back into real clothes. Maybe I’ll have to treat myself to this outfit to celebrate the new baby. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love the top from anthro!

  32. kallie August 19, 2010 at 7:17 am #

    Skinny are next on my shopping list. Love your big bow bag too!

  33. PriscilaPetersDecor August 19, 2010 at 9:43 pm #

    Lovely picks.

  34. Meaghan August 24, 2010 at 9:15 am #

    I love the blouse! But not so much the $128 price tag. Oh, bother Anthropologie!

  35. Oonafey August 29, 2010 at 8:36 pm #

    I have been loving the oxford style shoes since they showed up (last fall?), but I am short-ish and curvy and they look ridiculous on me. Le sigh.
