my everyday style: bundled up!

Every now and again I like to bust out a monochromatic look and since I'm not exactly the queen of color these days - neutrals are the way to go.   Here I paired cream and camel hues together for a cozy winter monochromatic look and I really liked the result.

Winter has been pretty kind to us so far (except that big 3 foot of snow storm in November, which has since melted) and it's been fun to experiment with two or three layers instead of the standard five to six layers that it seems is necessary to keep warm in winter.  It's always surprising to me how warm a vest can be and paired with a cozy sweater and scarf it was nice to be warm enough to ditch a coat for a bit.

my everyday style: it's (unofficially) fall!

It's unofficially officially fall.  Which gives me major whiplash and leaves me a little dumbfounded to be honest. Wasn't it just June?

Apparently not.  My kids start school today (praise the Lord, hallelujah!) and I'll be busy this week getting caught up on whatever I didn't get done over the past three months of non stop fun and complete indulgence.  Which is pretty much everything.  So here's to fall and to an "everything" to-do list on a Tuesday that feels like a Monday.

Enter an easy outfit… that's about all I can handle this morning.

my everyday style: looking and feeling great in your #favoritebra with Kohl's!

Is there one look that always makes you look and feel great? One that instantly puts a little pep in your step?

For me that look is a striped top, jeans and flats. I could wear this type of combination endlessly.  Whenever I pull this type of outfit out of my closet I feel like I have the day "off" from deciding what to wear, you know? Keeping this look pulled together and beautiful requires the right under-pinnings as well though right… you know that one bra that looks great with t-shirts and is comfortable to wear all day?  Yeah, we ladies need to make sure that we are covered in that department as well.

Kohl's has you covered… with tons of brands and selections and even personalized bra fitting services you are sure to find the perfect bra to go with your favorite outfit.  I recently shopped their intimates section and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful selection.
