Well, I got a week ahead of myself putting away my winter clothes. Not that I have a lot of exclusively winter clothes, or that they’re necessarily “put away” very far, but still. I transitioned my wardrobe a week or so ago and we’ve gone back into the winter doldrums a bit this week, as much as we get that in Texas anyway: cold & windy. Yesterday, I wore the outfit you see above, and today, I’ll be wearing my wool James Perse turtleneck sweater. Cold shoulders indeed.
And can I say again how frustrated I am with this growing my hair out thing? In the scheme of things, it’s not so bad, but my hair at the stage doesn’t do what I want it to do (it wants to flip up at my shoulders) so I end up putting it back a lot, which I don’t mind, actually, and will do more once it’s REALLY hot, but it’s still just such a weird length. BUT, I really do want to try longer hair, like just a few inches past my shoulders, so now is as good a time as any to keep growing it. I haven’t had long hair in quite some time, so I’m interested to see how I like it. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t, and maybe I’ll cut it all off again, but at least I tried!!
Happy Thursday…
This outfit is Peak Grechen! It’s got clean, minimal lines and just enough visual detail to keep things interesting. A++, hope you wear again.
I love that top and also think that hairstyle looks so right with this outfit – very chic ballet! Great posture.
I’m just about to pull out the winter woollies for real as things are just starting to cool down. I’m always excited at the beginning of winter!!
I like the simplicity of this outfit…not that your other outfits are complicated. 😉
And the more I see that Admonish tote, the better I like it. I’ve got some winter in the basement already, but I needed it this week in 30 degree temps with biting winds. And I still don’t have the wardrobe figured out completely…and it’s really bugging me! (Not enough to complete, evidently.) I have a rotten cold and I just want Spring!!!
Your hair looks really cute up – it lightens your look a lot.
I really like this top on you – The outfit is a clear winner based on comments!! I could also see it with your Clergerie sandals. And in this case, even the hair do looks good and perfectly fine with it 🙂
thanks marie – i can’t wait to wear all my sandals again!!
thanks janie 🙂
thanks tania – i didn’t do it on purpose, but you’re right about the whole “ballet” look! and i’m always trying to keep my shoulders back; pure barre is partially to blame, but i also know i have a tendency to slump if i’m not careful, and i’m trying to be much more aware of that. i’m constantly straightening myself up!
thank you lisa!!
we’re getting just enough spring here to be a tease so that when it gets cold again in it’s so frustrating!! those nice days are great, but i’m just waiting for them to stick around…
i know what you mean about the outfit 😉 it’s one of those i just decided to wear, without thinking too much about – and those are always the best i think – i just have a hard time doing that as often as i like…
Love that top! Don’t think I’d be comfortable wearing it (just thinking about the March air on my shoulders gives me the shivers) but this is definitely inspiration!
I love that Admonish tote too, but all I ever see when I go to the website is maybe one bag for sale. I hope there will be more some time.
Actually the bag I really love is the zipper one that you wore awhile back with the James Perse maxi dress. This one is open? Now looking on the Admonish Facebook page it looks like they’re a bit in transition. I’ll be patient and hope that more like the black curved zipper tote will become available.
this one is open, yes, like this one, that’s sold out, unfortunately: http://admonish-shop.com/collections/handbags-1/products/navy-black-curved-tote
he doesn’t have any more curved zipper ones for sale on his site, but Aro has some in the store, she actually has a beautiful lighter colored one i love – here are the ones she has: https://www.facebook.com/AdmonishShop/photos/a.219951974827280.1073741826.185699351585876/617019551787185/?type=3&theater, but they’re not online, you’d have to contact her for more information and see if she still has them in stock…she may have some black ones as well. and i’ll check around and see if he has anymore in stock anywhere else for you.
i wore this top when it was in the 80’s outside, so not much cool air, but i couldn’t wear it today for sure…when my shoulders are cold, i’m FREEZING!!
