D’Orsay flats are a twist on the standard ballet flat. With a capped pointed toe and cutouts on the sides, they are chic, minimalist and modern. While the flats above come in several colors and prints (like leopard!), I focused on the classic: basic black. J. Crew makes a suede version at nearly $100, and it’s counterpart J.Crew Factory has a similar version for a bit less at $89.50. I bought these and ended up returning them because I found a much cheaper alternative at Target that flattered Read More

Red, White and Chambray
With Independence Day around the corner, I had to put together a festive (and comfortable/nursing-friendly) outfit with red, white and chambray blue. I’m counting the white in the embroidery of this top…and in the bird poop on our deck. Just keepin it real… Anyways, I styled this look with the chambray shirt I picked up last month, but the sleeves on this top were all kinds of weird. They were billowy and came too long to be a 3/4 sleeve and too short to be a long sleeve and wasn’t very Read More

Pink Gingham and Button Up Shirts Staples
As part of my clothing budget last month, I got a button up from J. Crew Factory. At first, I was thinking of getting the navy version, but then I saw the pink and changed my mind.

On the right, I went casual and added my olive cargo jacket over it. Shop the look: Pink gingham: J. Crew Factory Boots: Aldo Read More
