Keep it Casual | Outfit Post | Featuring Anthropologie

Fashion doesn't have to be complicated, and let's face it. Some days are just t-shirt days. Personally, I love comfort driven looks (especially for travel). That doesn't mean they have to look sloppy though. With a few little touches it's easy to take a comfy outfit and give it an elevated style (again, especially handy for travel). Feel more put together without looking over dressed or having to try too hard.  Here's what I do...

The ultimate comfy Swing Tank from Anthropologie

Top to the Morning to Ya!

Left of Center Shibori Swing Tank • Anthropologie • $58

I love this comfy tank from Anthropologie. Literally the kind of airy top you could wear all day, then fall asleep in. Perfect for summer, and not a maternity top but certainly plenty of room to grow.

These sunglasses go with everything!

Front and Center

Women's Sunglasses Annie - Black/Polka Dots • $14.99

Gold Plated Champagne Crystal Round and Ball Stud Earrings Set - Gold • $16.99

noyah Natural Valentine Pink Lipstick • $18

Women's Beaded Fashion Necklace - Gold/Yellow • $16.99

A great statement necklace can take a casual look and step it up. I love the splash of color this braided  yellow necklace from Target brought to my ensemble. Some classy shades (also from Target) and a pink lip added just the right touch for a walk in Memorial Park in Jacksonville's charming Riverside neighborhood. A side swept pony and stud earrings keep the look undone and effortless. 

Absolutely obsessed with this necklace. It goes with more than I ever imagined. 

Walk this Way

Motherhood Secret Fit Belly® Flap Pocket Maternity Bermuda Shorts • Motherhood • $39.98

Fergalicious Sizzle T-Strap Flat Thong Sandals • Fergalicious • $34.99

If you are preggo in the summer, then classic cut offs are must haves for the season. I paired them with these versatile nude strappy sandals. Both pieces can be mixed and matched 100s of ways so guaranteed you will get your money's worth.

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!

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.

What classic pieces do you swear by in your closet? Share you fashionable secrets with me in the comments below!

Until then...

Enjoy the Journey!

Montana Outfit Post #1 | What I'm Wearing | Denim and Turquoise

I'm thrilled to visit Montana for the first time ever on a press trip for Firehouse Subs. There is nothing like wide open spaces to set your heart free. I'm from Kentucky and my dad is a farmer so getting in touch with the land and reconnecting to nature really brings me home. Now that I'm 23 weeks preggo I had to find some outfits that would be fashionable, comfortable, and functional on my travels. Here's where my inspiration led me. 

Check list:

Denim: because you know you will need something multifunctional and durable on the ranch

I'm wearing Jessica Simpson Distressed Maternity Cropped Jeans found at Destination Maternity

Light and Airy Blouse: a light cottony blouse feels fresh and keeps you cool in the sun

I'm wearing a tank by Liz Lange found at Target

Straw Hat: to keep the sun off your face

 I found mine at Target

Comfortable Flats: to throw on and off for a stroll

I bought mine for a trip to the Caribbean in the fall and they are super comfy. Found at Target

Accessories: when I think of the West I think of Turquoise. I loved pairing this coral Harmony necklace from my friends at Rethreaded with this turqouise statement necklace I had laying around. I also added a Cuff from my moms vintage collection, some stud earrings, and one of my fav Stella and Dot Rings.
