This outfit has been a go-to outfit formula for me lately: leggings + cozy top + a finishing pieces like necklace or a scarf. Perfect for days at home with a toddler. Then I make simple swaps based on my day: if there are errands outside the house, I might add a vest. Or if I want to squeeze in a workout in the basement, I replace the sweater with a tank top or t-shirt and get to it, because nap time=Mama’s productivity time. And I need that quiet time some days!

My Minimalism Style, Athleisure Edition: Elevating a Leggings Outfit
Leggings are pretty much my go-to on the days when I am not at work. Just can't beat 'em- they are comfortable, warm, and ideal for playing with a toddler. Since I usually wear them with sneakers of some sort, I usually want to dress in athletic wear on the top too. So in an effort to avoid the whole "sporty spice" look, I opted to go more of the athleisure route. My chambray shirts have been getting a lot more wear these days (more on why I love it here), and this was a great opportunity to Read More

Save vs. Splurge // Gray Swing Dress
This mockneck gray swing dress is great for transitional months when all we want to do is dress for fall but it’s way too warm outside for a hot beverage. You could style is with a pair of ankle booties and a necklace or scarf and add a cargo vest, jean jacket or quilted vest when it gets a bit cooler, along with some fleece lined tights, of course. Madewell makes a gorgeous one at $100. But for 75% less, you can grab one from Target. I tried the Target version on and it is really comfortable Read More
Save vs. Splurge // Sleeveless Sweater
A sleeveless sweater is something that can be styled over a shirt, which works in cooler weather, or you can wear it on its own when it’s warmer and you want something knit and cozy feeling. Madewell makes a lovely version with a shorter hemline at $78, but good ‘ol Target came to the rescue with a dupe that is under $25. I saw the Target version in the store and the quality looked good to me… Finish off the look with a pair of skinny jeans and a tassel necklace and you’re all set! Read More

One foot in spring, another in winter with coral and gray
This outfit definitely has one foot in spring, and another in winter. On one hand, I’ve got warm gray tights with boots. On the other hand, I’m wearing my coral pencil skirt and striped/sequined sweater—a super bright and fun color that screams spring to me. Well, which is it Mother Nature? Can’t you just make up your mind?! In the meantime, I will continue to straddle that line and dress for both while we are in this weather limbo. Lovely. Shop the coral and gray look- Boots: Steve Read More
Think pink.
Cardigan: J. Crew (similar) Tank: Loft Outlet (old) Necklace: Lia Sophia (no longer available) Earrings: Ann Taylor (old) Black skinnies: H&M Shoes: Life Stride via DSW Let me just say...I love this necklace! I got it last year when I hosted a Lia Sophia party because it was so versatile. You can unhook the necklace it and wear it as a shorter necklace with just the gold beading or with just the pink beads. Because let's face it, if I'm going to spend a good chunk of change on jewelry, I Read More
