It’s All About the Shoes…and the Tees, and the Jackets, and the Jeans!

01

This basic, I like to think “basic with a twist” outfit is pretty much my uniform.  I don’t really go anywhere that I need to be too dressed up.  Mostly I’m home blogging or running errands.  I do get a little more dressed up for lunch or dinner out, and of course on vacation and those special occasions like weddings and parties.  An outfit like this makes me feel put together and stylish, but still comfortable.  Truth be told, I would wear these shoes out to run errands, but they would come right off and be replaced with something very comfortable while I’m home.  I do like to look like I’ve made an effort to look nice while I’m out.

About the outfit!  I am really obsessed with these See by Chloe platform shoes…they are so 1970 something (yes I do remember 1970 something)!  They are really comfortable and perfect with the new hemlines of jeans for spring.  My jeans are by Frame denim and have a “petal hem” that I’m loving.  I paired them with a striped tee and a military jacket that I purchased in the early fall and is perfect for cool spring days.  I don’t really remember when it happened, but I have become a collector of military jackets.  I think it’s because they go with anything and there are so many cute ones now, from camo to embroidered.  I’ve linked some of my favorites below!

I’m loving the petal hem on these jeans!

    Perfect outfit formula! I like to look like I put effort into myself when I go out too…even when I’m at home (most of the time😉) Happy Friday Eve!

      There are those times when I’m home and I just hope no one comes to the door! Hope you have a good weekend!

    I love it! Classic, stylish, yet comfortable! Adding elements in that reflect your personal style adds flare.

  3. Oh gosh you always inspire me! Love this look! I too have several of these types of jackets and love them. Now these shoes you are wearing are killing me! Perfection! I gotta replicate this look, I have a similar pair of Ted Bakers that I think I can pull it off! And you know I think I may try a DIY hem on a pair of jeans. You know me always cutting things up!

    Woah! Those are some high heels! 🙂 Love it, I know platforms are comfortable and they look so good on you! The utility olive jacket is so pretty and looks great with your denim. i dont have an olive utility jacket, but an olive military jacket i look forward to wearing. The hems are so adorable on those jeans too! I just bought a few pairs of new jeans.. you have inspired me! I am excited for Spring.
    Have a wonderful weekend!
