Menswear Mood

I know it seems like I’m contradicting myself by wearing an all-neutral look after my commitment earlier this week to embrace more brights.  But, in all fairness, these pictures were taken before I made that declaration and when I was still stuck in my colorless rut.  I have always loved menswear-inspired pieces…to me, there is no better pairing than boyfriend jeans & oxfords.  This patent pair couldn’t be more comfortable or versatile (I’m already dreaming of pairing them with floral print dresses come spring).  I pretty much live in outfits like this on days when I’m running around town with my kids – it’s equal parts comfortable & warm while still being stylish.
