Dark & Light



I'm loving a black top and light jeans look.  The juxtaposition of the two makes for a sharp yet relaxed look. Black tends to be a formal color and a light wash jean is nothing but casual so when paired together you get a balanced ensemble that can transend across occasions. 

Personally, I believe it's the atypical pairing of pieces that create the most interesting outfits. 

When styling contrasting garments together, you stretch outside the 'event' box by having both elements of dressy and carefree. This also optimizes your wardrobe by creating versatile outfits. 

I eyed this blouse for a while as I loved the ruffles, modern details and shape. I rarely wear black, so when I do it must make a statement!

The Classic Casual Uniform


Gals it doesn't get more classic than a crisp white shirt and a pair of jeans.  Now add some modern details like ruffles and distressing and you're anything but basic.

I own countless cotton white tops #sorrynotsorry They're clean fresh and bright.  As for jeans I'm probably average.  I will say being a bit petite it's frustrating when the distressed knees fall on your shins.

When you wear a white top and jeans it's the accessories that really show your style.  Since I'm more dressy and traditional I went with a timeless pump and belt.  You could add sandals or stilettos which ever suits your fancy.  Or add some color in a bold earring.

Speaking of accessories, lets just chat about this belt.  Baby Vivian Louise's birth was traumatic to say the least.  She came a month early in just a few hours so needless to say I wasn't prepared.  We were about 2 weeks in surviving hour by hour with our itty bitty baby and I remember thinking as I cringed with abdomen pain from my c-section surgery, that I'll never have my abs back! Silly I know because I was crazy fit before her and with time was going to be back in the gym.  I decided to treat myself to a prize for earning the return of my waistline so I ordered this belt.  It was on a short backorder but estimated to arrive within 4 weeks - which would be the time I'd be cleared to exercise so it was going to be good motivation for me.

Well, here we are mid June and it finally arrived! And what do you know, I do have my waistline back.  It's still a work in progress building my muscles to where they were but SL has her groove back.

To my Mamma gal pals: it's hard work incorporating fitness with all the extra responsibilities that come with children (especially when your exhausted, have no time and if nursing with these massive melons) but remember a health strong Mamma is important for you and your family! I'll have to share with you some fitness Inspiration and motivation next Monday.

The belt is the perfect neutral and will go with everything from suiting to jeans to dresses.

Jumpsuit


Gals, this pink number had me quick to jump on the jumpsuit bandwagon! First, I LOVE pink and this shade is bubblegum perfection.  I saw it on the mannequin and my first instinct was YESSSS.
Once I got into the dressing room I began to get nervous.  Even though I'm super close to my pre-baby figure I'm still carrying around these nursing melons and I didn't know how fussy getting in & out of this one piece would be.

It is so comfortable and pretty easy to put on.  I actually like the wrap design so you can tie to fit.
It's also forgiving with a bit of elastic in the back.
Best part is you can wear a regular bra!  A lot of jumpsuits out there require strapless or no bra at all.  Nobody has time for that kind of discomfort!

I kept the styling super simple with a classic shoe and handbag and just a set a pearl studs and one of my everyday delicate necklaces.

Go ahead and jump right in and try and jumpsuit - you just might be surprised :)
