I was so lucky to have
my BFF fly in from sunny LA last weekend to keep me & my son (her god son)
company while my hubby was across the world on business. We had a fabulous visit & I found myself
multiple times over the weekend admiring her CA easy breezy style. She managed to look super comfy yet super
pulled together at all times. Cheers, Poodle!!
I noticed
this especially at Sunday brunch after a night of eating and drinking way too
much when I found myself in too tight of a tank top and a schleppy pair of
jeans with holes in the knees and ratty converse. My cool companion was in an oversize linen
blend button down, skinny ankle jeans and pretty flat sandals. Was she fidgeting with her shirt bc we were
bloated and hungover… absolutely not!
After she left Sunday night & my Mom asked me if I couldn't afford new jeans, I realized I was lacking a few polished everyday items
from my closet. They are a) skinny jeans
in a clean dark wash free of holes or distress - slim but comfortable enough for day or night b) an oversize cotton/linen blend
blouse c) a linen blend oversize sweater.
I’m a lover of button ups but I usually gravitate towards more rugged
alternative styles (Rails) that can definitely read a little grungy. The Frank & Eileen button downs that I
adore and have also blogged about are fitted and are super chic with jeans and
heals but they’re also low cut in the front and pretty crisp.
So, my debit card took a hit this week but I grabbed a few (all on sale) items to perfect & round out my carefully curated Fall wardrobe:
I ended up with J. Brand 811 skinny jeans in the "pure" wash, a couple Nili Lotan blouses, a cashmere/cotton blend tee from Billy Reid, and a loose sweater from 360 aka skull cashmere.
