Winter Classic

 

Yesterday on my Instagram feed, I shared an outfit from two years ago. I still own every piece of that outfit, and would still wear it today, and felt that was the definition of classic style. I am always at a crossroads of winter fashion between I don't know what to wear and I don't want to wear what is in my closet! I definitely feel somewhat uninspired during this season, but I usually feel like I want to shop but nothing appeals to me!

I have done this in the past, but "shopping" your own closet at times like these can be a lot of fun. That is what I did to put together this outfit. Yes, I think I have worn a version of it before, but to me that means that I am still drawn to these pieces, like my other classic pieces from my IG post! It is fun to see what is in your closet and how you can wear it differently, or mix and match pieces in new ways.

I really like having a closet with great classic pieces that I know I will have forever, and always find a way to wear them. Somethings like a great tweed skirt in neutrals, plain turtlenecks and cable-knit sweaters will always be in style in my book. I took this old J. Crew skirt that I have worn dozens of times in the past, and paired with a turtleneck, which I have done before. To make the outfit feel new, I added a sweater around my shoulders, and big strand of pearls. All things I have worn before, but never in this combination! I am going to try and challenge myself to shop my closet more often this winter, and see what I can come up with!

    Great idea with shopping your closet! I always forget to do that, but it's the best place to start! And of course you know I LOVE this entire ensemble! It's just so preppy :)

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials: - B

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap

Favorite Spots: St. Paul, MN

I have been thinking about Minnesota lately, and felt like reminiscing on some of my favorite spots in St. Paul, MN. Most people hear a city in Minnesota, and think Minneapolis. Although I love the treasures of Minneapolis, I went to college in St. Paul (Roll Toms 😊💜), and lived there for 6 years, so it has a special place in my heart. First off, lets get familiar with this city. St. Paul is the state capitol of MN!! It is NOT Minneapolis as so many people think! It is the older of the Twin Cities, and I think has more charm. Its divided into neighborhoods like any other city, and some of the best spots, are little neighborhood gems. The Twin Cities are both equally "Foodie" places, and we love some craft breweries/distilleries, and good eats!! Grandview Theatre pictured above! Used to walk there during college just to get popcorn! Merriam Park University of St. Thomas - my alma matter! (I surprisingly do not have any good pics of UST..) Izzie's Ice Cre
