Style: February ’12
I liked that crazy necklace when I first saw it online, but I want it even more now that I’ve tried it on and seen the scale of it. It’s massive, and kooky, and it looked so good with the outfit I was wearing that day! I snapped a quick photo with my phone, and I’m kind of recreating the outfit here.
1. Tights, $11
2. Octagonal Statement Necklace, $328
3. Golden Gift Ring, $7
4. How Could You Nantes? Dress, $160
  (My dress was an awesome $30 find from Target, which is now sold out in most sizes).
5. Original Still Life Bag, Village, $398
6. Kamilla Boots, $139
  (My boots were from Banana Republic about five years ago.)
p.s. Look, I match the rug.

This is a little different from my usual style, but not so far out there that I’d never wear it. I love the dress with black tights, and that bag has been on my wish list for a while now. The glasses are awesome, the necklace is bold but not crazy (sometimes I like ’em a little crazy), and the ring is just plain cool. I think it’s the ankle boots that are pushing me out of my comfort zone with this outfit. What about you — would you wear this? Or maybe with some substitutions?

That orange dress is so cute and affordable ($30), I think it would be a great staple.* I’d go monochromatic with cinnamon tights and red/orange heels, then add a neutral cardigan to break things up a bit. The elephant bracelet is bananas and could be the sole jewelry, but the outfit still needs something up top so I’d add a simple pendant necklace. And that purse! So charming, and I love adding a completely unexpected additional color.

* The dress isn’t very nursing-friendly, unfortunately for me. I think I’m going to pick one up anyway even though I won’t be able to wear it for at least a few more months.

Style: April ’11

Oh, you guys. You didn’t think that that other outfit was my April Style post, did you? That was my little April Fool’s Day joke. Ha ha, jokes on me. I looked like that all throughout high school.

I am loving that striped dress. Part of me thinks I can wear it because it looks nursing friendly, and then I remember that I still look five months pregnant and maybe horizontal stripes aren’t my friend. (Jokes on me again?) I’m thinking about getting it anyway.

I like the sweet simplicity of a silver locket paired with something unexpected like this rubber dipped copper arrow ring. Springtime calls for a straw hat, and a cute floral (or in this case branched) bag. And I think I may have mentioned the shoes before, but I still want a pair of old-lady Worishofer sandals too.

Style: March ’11

This dress reminds me of little girls’ eyelet dresses (my mom LOVES those). What can be adorable on a two-year-old though can often be cloyingly sweet on an adult, so it needs a little toughening up. But not too tough… I think this outfit has a perfect mix of sweet (white dress, flower ring, a belt to cinch the waist) and tough (rad shoes, cool hobo bag, and snake bracelets).
