Casual Crops and Top Knots
We successfully survived another school year and hit the road to celebrate with a four day weekend at the coast. It was nice to just get away from the every day responsibilities and catch our breath a bit. It is busy season for me at work as our annual budget is kicking off so you can bet I’m looking for every way possible to stretch my hair as many days as possible! Rocking the top knot? I’ll let you be the judge!
I shared this photo last week on Instagram as part of #maymomstyle. The prompt for the day was out of my comfort zone and I really had a hard time deciding on an outfit but instead took the twist to share a little about how sharing these outfits initially was totally out of my comfort zone! I’m by no means a style icon but have loved sharing my looks with my readers and followers on social media and when I hear I’ve inspired someone else it makes my day.
All of the pieces in this look are favorites of mine but had never been worn together until this day. Sometimes when I have a smaller window of time to choose my outfit fun things happen! I know they are pricy and I did wait for a sale when I purchased, but these jeans are my go to for a skinny ankle style. They definitely make me feel like I look a little thinner than my others and I think it’s because they hold their shape so well.
I’m positive I’ve shared these shoes multiple times with you here but, y’all, I’m not joking when I tell you they are so comfortable! I love the style and wear them so much. They are still on sale as part of the Nordstrom 1/2 yearly sale and come in 3 colors. I also happened upon this pair from the same brand and they are also on sale and I think I may need them in black!!
A white jean jacket was never on my radar until my friend Sandy carried this one in her online boutique. It has such fun detailing and a slight peplum style which definitely added a little extra flare with the patterned top and jeans.
I love how this look came together and actually felt confident and pulled together as I headed for a much needed girls night out! Side note: I have super fine hair and not tons of it but ever since watching this video tutorial from Julie at PaleoMG I’ve been much more successful at creating a top knot that doesn’t look so scarce. PS…if you love this cuff, Accessory Concierge is having a Memorial Day sale and these cuffs and the knockoff of my necklace are 30% off. They make super gifts!
What is your favorite look to wear that pushes you slightly outside your comfort zone?
