How to Style a Basic Slip Dress.

Oct 24, 2016


The sight of bracelet stacks and dangling necklaces is intoxicating, and so is the feeling of coming up with a look like that on a day when I just want to be sleeping and sipping on some tea. The latter is the bad kind of intoxicating, obvi. As in, the type that has that creepy black skeleton with the crossing bones on it 'intoxicating.'

Hence, as much as I love stalking blogger upon blogger and admiring their keen attention to detail, I just can't commit. Nuh-uh, my friends. On a Sunday you will find me sleeping away until the very last minute, at which point I will throw an embroidered slip dress on and dress it down with some of my favorite staples.

This thrifted number is one of my favorites. Although I wear it very rarely, it's one of those items I'm probably going to be saving for the kids. Quality material, timeless shape. To make it current, I added the shoe trend that took us lazy folks by storm - a super cool structured sneaker (my Lacoste babies are gray, but some crisp whites would completely transform the look) and a battered denim jacket- a staple of every thrift store in sight.

At the end, I added just a sliiiight bit of pizzaz with a vibrant liquid lipstick. It's amazing how such a minimal effort-requiring procedure can pull together a look.

Errand Uniform.

Oct 6, 2016


3rd grade - the first time I discovered that people wear pajamas to go grocery shopping. College; freshman year - the only time I ever wore PJ's in a public establishment, after a 1 a.m. fire alarm kicked me out of the dorms. 

Errands suck and the only thing that decreases the suck level is comfort. I get that. But lawwwwd, do I have a field day looking at people's ratty jammies scraping the Walmart floor. There's a time and place for everything, and there are so many options for errand running that feel like you're burrowed under a blanket of comfort and cuddles. 

By far my favorite option is a stretchy jean - the Blue Spice cropped pair I'm rocking in these photos fits so well and was snatched at a low price from TJ Maxx. Finding that comfortable pair is the tough part. Adding a top in a simple color (and rocking it braless for extra comfort) is easy. Add a loose chambray button down for the frozen foods section and voila: you've got yourself a cute errand running look that won't make you curse your tongue off by noon. Bonus points if you add at least two accessories for an extra oompf. 

What is your errand uniform?
