Cold November is upon us here in Minnesota. This past week we saw our first snow. I will say growing up in Nebraska the first snow is always the prettiest. Everything is kissed with white and it gets me all excited for the holidays. They are coming so fast it’s like they are on a bullet train. As for a little life update, we are still currently living in the Minneapolis area and don’t know where the hubby’s job will take us just yet. We have some ideas but they always seem to change so, for now, my guess is as good as yours.

Now on to the good stuff! I’m a big fan of classic pieces that you can have in your closet forever. Now more than ever it’s nice to have a basic black blazer to throw on over my usual jeans and a tee to feel more polished. As a stay at home mom sometimes my big adventure out of the house is a run to target or if I’m lucky dinner with Esai or my girlfriends. This outfit is a total no-brainer, which comes in super handy when you just don’t have the time or brain power to waste getting dressed. Spice it up with a lace bodysuit underneath or dress it down with a graphic tee. The possibilities are endless. I love a boyfriend fit like this one!

If you haven’t invested in a good blazer don’t worry I got you covered on some awesome options below. Trust me you won’t regret adding this piece to your closet, I promise! I have had some of mine for almost 8 years. They just don’t go out of style. With the holidays coming up, this is the perfect piece to make you feel chic when running around in all the madness!

To say it has been a while is an understatement, but life happens. I had a sweet baby girl and now I’m excited to be back! During my pregnancy, I was sick for over half the time and just didn’t feel good most days. Posting on here just wasn’t something I really wanted to do so I took a break. I know there are some of you out there who can relate. To be absolutely honest, I’m still not super comfortable in my own skin, but who really is after they bring a precious tiny human into the world. Now I’m pushing myself to be confident and proud of the healthy body God has given me. I’m still learning how to dress while I work to get back to a new normal, but who says you can’t camouflage some areas. So extra pounds and loose skin or not here we go!

Now for the good stuff! Springtime always makes me think of a good timeless trench coat. You can add one to any outfit and instantly feel put together. I’m all about that quick and easy life while looking like I spent hours figuring out what to wear. This blush trench coat does just that. I paired mine with jeans and a simple white tee. To add a little edge, I threw on some patent leather booties because I think pairing girly and edgy is just a great balance.

Whether you are running out the door to meet your girlfriends for happy hour in your skinny jeans or heading to Sunday brunch in a pretty floral dress, a trench coat is a perfect option. It can be an investment piece that you will seriously use for years to come.

My trench coat is from Gap, but it’s a few years old (it’s a timeless piece that I pull out every year to wear :)). I have linked some similar options in blush and khaki for you below! Happy almost spring!

It has been a while since I have posted, but I’m excited to be back bringing you some awesome content. To kick off my return I wanted to bring you something summery and super easy to throw on any day of the week. So here is my take on being put together and still super comfortable.

This past weekend I also had the pleasure of spending some time in the Misson in San Francisco. The weather was gorgeous and the Mexican food was to die for. This striped button down was perfect for the sun and the little bit of wind I had to contend with. I love the light and airiness about it. I have been living in these Levi 501

I have been living in these Levi 501 Skinnys since I purchased them a few months back. They are definitely my favorite now that I have broken them in. If you are on the hunt for jeans that have that vintage look but don’t want to pay the ridiculous price some of them are, I would recommend checking these out!

Have a great week!
