What I Wore in Montana #2 | Outfit Post | Red, White, and Blue

Look #2 from my maternity ensemble for Montana was inspired by simplicity. I'm a fan of white (even though it's not the safest color to wear around kids), and my husband loves it on me so I'm always looking to pick up a new classic white piece. This LWD (little white dress) was a perfect pair with my well worn in denim jacket. Throw in my worn out  perfectly distressed red cowgirl boots and top it off with some clean accessories and you have an effortless combination that's perfect for a stroll through the country, or hopping terminals in the airport. Which is exactly what I did. 

22 weeks

Check list:

Classic White Eyelet Sundress: I'm wearing this Jessica Simpson Maternity dress in Small. This dress can be dressed up or down and is pretty much good to go through all of Spring and Summer. I was 22 weeks at the time of this shoot and I like how this dress has plenty of room to grow into my third trimester belly without me feeling like I'm wearing a tent. I got lots of compliments on this look in the airport too. 

All American Jean Jacket: These never go out of style. I've included one by Jessica Simpson Maternity but mine is something that's been in my closet for around ten years now. I bought it a bit oversized in Large which meant it will last through pregnancy yay. This was a great look for traveling in. Not too hot, and the denim kept me warm when the AC got a little chilly. 

Statement Boots: When in Montana, you couldn't be more at home than in a pair of cowboy boots. This was my traveling look and the boots made it easy to take on and off in security (no laces yay). Also you don't want to pack those giant things. I ended up wearing these every day. They were just the perfect protection to Montana's rugged countryside. I've had these for years now and trust me,  when you buy a quality pair, they just get better with age. I had to replace the soles and heels on mine before I left on this trip, but they'll keep walking for another decade or so now. I get tons of compliments on the red. They really jump out and go with more than you would imagine. 

Simple yet Stunning Accessories: Keeping it simple I topped the look off with a little icing to add just the right touch. Nothing too fussy, and of course when traveling choosing items that are versatile and can be used different ways is key. Studs, Ring, Necklace all by Stella and Dot.

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!

3 Ways to Wear The Savannah Tunic by Lisa Kaminski | Outfit Post

During my recent trip the Caribbean I was more than excited to have my wardrobe supplied by Lisa Kaminski Swim and Resort wear. Out of all the pieces I wore the Savannah Tunic stood out due to it's versatility and my ability to dress it up or down. This year I'll be introducing outfit posts to showcase what I'm wearing. Whether I'm jet setting to the islands or getting the kiddo off to school, you'll have a chance to get an insiders look into what I'm wearing. In addition I've officially launched the Amy West Travel boutique with the Savannah Tunic as my first featured item for sale. Take a look at today's post on 3 Ways to wear the Savannah Tunic, then collect one for yourself! 

1. Mini dress/ Swimsuit Cover Up

Wear it poolside as an easy throw on cover up, or grab some heels and some accessories and wear it out for the night. The Savannah Tunic has a flattering design for almost any shape, and trust me when I say it's really comfy. The poly blend fabric is great for travel as it resists wrinkling and it's really lightweight so it dries quick and takes up little space in your luggage. 

2. Leaving on a Jet Plane 

When it was time to head to Miami from St. Lucia and connect to my flight in San Juan I chose to pair the Savannah Tunic with a textured scarf and classic jean jacket. I threw in my fedora and some calf length sandals, a. because they looked cool, but b. because they were the hardest to pack so I needed to wear them. I loved how the look came together and I stayed warm while remaining fashionable while hopping airports.  

 3. Leopard Print is the New Black

I liked mixing it up and adding a little edge to the tunic. This military jacket, and edgy boots paired with some chic aviators gave the Savannah a whole new look and feel. Skip the little black dress next time and try adding some animal print for a walk on the wild side and a different texture. 

Whether you are going on vacation, or just looking for a new staple piece the Savannah Tunic is a great addition to any wardrobe. To purchase click here. I'm looking forward to showcasing more great looks this year so keep checking back! 

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!
