Stripes & Florals: the perfect Sunday outfit

I don't know about you, but I loathe wearing anything but leggings and sweats when I'm at home.  I don't even like lounging around in my jeans.  I want pure comfort but I also want to look cute so I was ecstatic when I realized that athleisure is a thing!  I've wanted a pair of joggers for awhile now, but I was worried about how they'd look if I ventured out of the house in a pair.  Would they be versatile enough to pair with anything other than a sweatshirt?  Would they look too pajama-like?  I waffled back and forth long enough that I ended up forgetting about buying a pair at all.

 It was while I was perusing Pinterest, as I frequently do, I came across the cutest pair of striped joggers.  When I clicked over to the retailer, I had never heard of them and they were online only, so I was worried it wasn't a legit site.  However, after weeks of consistently coming across pins of these joggers and falling in love over and over again I decided to bite the bullet and buy them.  The retailer is called Mindy Mae's Market and it is an online only boutique.  I decided to take a look around since the joggers were priced below what I was expecting.  I ended up finding the cutest floral tops I have ever seen!  No really, I haven't found another retailer that consistently carries such beautiful floral shirts.  I ended up buying one t-shirt and the joggers.  I hadn't expected to pair these two patterns, but when I tried on my purchases once they arrived I realized how cute they look together!




I literally wear these joggers ALL of the time.  I wear them on errands, I wear them during workouts and I always have them on when I lounging at home.  Sometimes, I even wear them to bed.  I pair them mostly with tees (both long and short sleeved) but I also love to layer open-front cardigans over the tees as well.


 I just purchased this Madewell tank.  I love the v-neck cut and the way it hangs when I wear it.  I prefer the front-tuck style with it and it looks awesome layered over this delicate, cotton lace bralette from the Gap.  This bralette is the bomb!  It's so comfortable and breathable that I even wear it to bed!

I also want to mention this H&M linen blend tee.  The way it hangs is so flattering and it's the perfect weight for hot summer days.  I love to wear this tee with ripped jeans/cut offs but it still looks great with joggers.  The color is an olive green, a bit deeper than it's reading in this picture.

I'm more than happy with these Mindy Mae's Market purchases and have since gone back to to buy more items.  They are really known for their DoubleHood sweatshirts which are super cute and they come in a TON of designs and colors.  They really do have two hoods!  I love them and they work well with both workout gear and jeans.  A win-win in my book!

It's All About Winter Comfort!

….And it snowed in Boston yesterday.  Just as I was trying to transition my closet to more Spring- themed outfits , BOOM snow.  But, that’s New England for ya.  I actually love living here and experiencing each season, it’s just that as each season nears the end, I’m SO ready for the new one to begin! When it does snow, I refuse to dress in anything but comfort.  You should have seen me on the days it snowed when I worked in a business casual (think no jeans) atmosphere.  Let’s just say I improvised...liberally!  All that to say, I wanted pure comfort but to also look cute while out and about with the kiddies.  I chose my go-to weekend lounge wear: black leggings.  Ahh, they are so versatile!  I paired them with a cute striped long-sleeved tee from J. Crew Factory for a pop of color and threw my favorite sweatshirt on over that.  I live for the layered look!  It’s a style you’ll see on me often! I threw on some rain b...

A Piece for Every Season

I love a clothing item that I can use over and over again, all year long.  If I’m spending money on clothes, I like to get use out of them.  That is certainly the case with my Abercrombie and Fitch cardigan ( similar to this style ).  It’s the prettiest heathered pink and I have actually I’ve worn it during every New England season so far! I bought this in late summer in preparation for the coming Fall weather.  I ended up wearing it on those late summer nights when the hottest day suddenly drops to the coolest evenings once the sun sets.  It is the perfect weight to keep me warm but not overheat, especially with cut-offs and a tank.  I packed this every time I ventured to Cape Cod for the weekend.   Here are some of the ways I styled this sweater in each season: Summer: This sweater is super cute layered over a a slouchy tee knotted at the waist and some cut offs.  My tee is from J.Crew and cut offs from Express a few years ago...
