They say the fifth time’s the charm! Every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, I indulge my husband by donning an ensemble in his favorite plaid and taking pictures to commemorate the occasion (as evidenced here, here, here, and here). I’ve amassed quite the little black watch plaid collection over the years, and this dress just might be my favorite. I decided to play up the retro flair with a jaunty beret and vintage coat. We wound up liking our looks so much, that we made the bottom family pic our official holiday card!

Whenever my wardrobe leaves me uninspired (which happens more often than I’d like to admit), a failproof style I always reach for is a head-to-toe monochromatic look like this one. It’s surprisingly fresh and modern and leaves lots of room for accessories and textures to take center stage.

Revisiting the Sweatshirt

A quick search through my archives alerted me to the fact that I haven’t worn a proper sweatshirt on the blog since 2015. Truth be told, sweatshirts are right up there with flip flops, band tees and Uggs on my list of things that I left pretty much behind in college. But alas, since motherhood already has me pulling all-nighters like it was sophomore year all over again – I figured I might as well be cozy while doing it. So here I am fully embracing mom style with not just a sweatshirt, but leggings and sneakers to boot!

As I slowly transition out of maternity leave, I’ve been working from home more and more these days. I wore this ensemble for an afternoon walk with my little bambino and a quick pit stop at a local cafe.  I had a few moments to spare, so I added a cute red beret, jaunty neckerchief, and a swipe of my favorite red lipstick before heading out.
