Holiday Outfit Inspiration

Published on December 24, 2019January 18, 2020 by exploreloveliveLeave a comment

Merry Christmas! I can’t believe it is already that time of year. Where has December gone? I wanted to get this post up before Christmas since my life is going to get even crazier starting tomorrow (if that is possible). I really love dressing up so I wanted to do a holiday outfit inspiration post. These are the five outfits that I have been wearing for the past week and that I will continue to wear at least through New Year’s. I love plaid but did not feature it too much since I usually wear the most plaid leading up to Christmas. I did want to give you all some ideas for ringing in 2020.

I feel like dark green and blackwatch plaid carry through January since they are a little more muted! Blackwatch skirt old Pendleton (similar), blazer similar (another option that is on sale), headband Nordstrom Rack (I could not find the exact color online but they might still have it in store, I was there over the weekend and they still had lots of them), heels Nordstrom (on super sale!).

I did have to include at least one other plaid in here. I wasn’t very sure about this skirt in the beginning but I love it! Plaid skirt J. Crew Factory, t-shirt Everlane (I actually planned to wear a black turtleneck with this but somehow it did not make it into my bag), heels Nordstrom.

I had to include this Gal Meets Glam dress (similar from the most recent collection) since it is so perfect for New Years! I also just think Gal Meets Glam has great dressier options (here is another great one). Jacket is Mark and Graham and shoes are Nordstrom.

I think this is my favorite outfit of them all! It is also not very holiday specific so it could work through spring. Blouse is topshop, shoes are Sam Edelman, earrings are J. Crew Factory, bag is Kate Spade (similar color), sunglasses Karen Walker and I actually borrowed the pants from my sister but originally planned on wearing black leggings or a skirt with this.

Okay my last outfit just has to be this plaid KJP dress (their cable knit dresses would be great for the rest of winter). It is so comfortable and perfect for this time of year. I paired it with some KJP socks and Bean boots but I also wore it at Thanksgiving with tights and riding boots.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Autumn Sweaters

Happy Saturday! I hope you are having a nice weekend. It has been beautiful and sunny but freezing cold for the past few days (in the 20’s and 30’s). We went to Crumb Brother’s to get some bread and work for a couple hours. I had several phone meetings but was able to work out of the office for most of the day. It was so nice and productive! Today we are headed to the farmer’s market for pumpkins and whatever other produce we can find. I hope you are doing something fun and fall related this weekend! Here are some perfect sweaters for fall.

Bone cable sweater, rose cardigan, green crew, orange sweater, dark brown pullover, camel crewneck

Sustainable Brand Highlight: Everlane

Published on October 3, 2019October 3, 2019 by explorelovelive2 Comments

UPDATE: I completely forgot to mention that Nordstrom is carrying Everlane right now.

Along with this new Sustainable Style Series that I am doing I wanted to highlight a brand every month that does a great job of creating clothing it a sustainable way. There are lots of factors that are involved in this process so I will do my best to explain how a brand is “sustainable” and what their views are on sustainable style. I am starting with Everlane since it is my favorite for basics. Everything is so cute, stylish and affordable. They are also very transparent about the whole process of making a piece (cost and all). I also think it is a brand that makes clothing that is high quality and lasts for a long time. That is such an important part of creating a sustainable brand since ultimately we don’t want to keep producing and buying.

I have been going to Everlane for pretty much everything before looking anywhere else. Before I share some of my favorites from them I wanted to share some things that I have had my eye on. First are these knit booties. I love that they are unique and stylish. I have not tried any Everlane shoes yet but I am hoping to in the future! Next are these wide leg pants. I usually stick to skinny or straight leg but I am loving these. Finally, I have had my eye on their puffer jackets since last year.

This white sweater has been my obsession for several weeks now. It is such great quality, so comfortable and so classic!

I will say that I have not tried many of there pants/jeans but they are all look amazing. I do have these black jeans that they are great (also on sale right now for such a great price)!

This mock neck is from last year but they have a similar style here.

Such a comfortable henley waffle shirt! I am also just loving this color for fall.

There loungewear is also great quality. I can just tell it will last a long time. This sweatshirt is sold out now but the hoodie they do have in stock looks so comfy (that brass color is so nice).

This might be one of the best purchases for value I have made all year. This t-shirt dress is so comfortable, a great color and affordable. It is sold out now but hopefully they will bring it back next summer (they do still have a cotton shirtdress in stock).

I also wanted to mention that I have an Everlane backpack and I love it. It is such great quality and mine is black so it goes with everything.

I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what your favorite ‘sustainable brands’ are!

Wearing White: Fall Edition

Published on September 21, 2019September 22, 2019 by explorelovelive2 Comments

Happy Saturday! I hope you are having a good weekend. Mine has been pretty filled with work so far but I am hoping to get something fun in tomorrow. White is traditionally a summer color when it comes to clothing but I love wearing it year round and wanted to share some outfit inspiration for wearing white this season. I hope to follow up with a winter, spring and summer post as well!

Outfit #1: This might actually be my favorite outfit this fall. The brown tones are perfect for fall and the sweater so comfortable. I also really love leopard for this time of year!

Corduroy skirt BP (on sale right now!), white Everlane sweater (hands down my absolute favorite sweater), Madewell necklaces, Sezane leopard booties

Outfit #2: White sneakers definitely are something I wear year round and with white straight legged pants and a brown/orange top (or cardigan) they are perfect for apple picking!

Everlane waffle shirt, white Levi’s, Adidas, Madewell belt, older Target sunglasses (similar)

Outfit #3: A white blazer can definitely be worn year round. I also am totally loving the tall, slouchy boots under a fall flower dress and the white blazer adds a great work vibe.
