When I say transitioning, I mean the weather. In my life, at this current moment, no news is good news! Spring is one of the hardest seasons to dress for in NYC I think. It’s frequently wet, pretty chilly, and can be gloomy at times. A few nice days are sprinkled in there, but whipping out cute dresses is better suited for May/June than March/April here.
I tend to rely on uniforming my wardrobe for these months. This look from last week is one of my go-tos. And I’m sharing another favorite today. To say that I’ve worn this exact outfit too many times to remember in just the past month. I’m obsessed.
It’s simple, just like I like my outfits. It’s comfortable, just like I insist my outfits be. And it’s just chic enough, just like I pray my outfits might be.
This is just my favorite things from head to toe. It may as well be an ode to a few of my favorite things in fact, step aside Maria Von Trapp.
Skinny jeans, a striped tee, and a slouchy (adorable) coat. This is how I would like to dress every single day of my life, please.
I have to tell you, I’m truly in love with BaubleBar’s tassel pieces right now. I’ve honestly been stockpiling different necklaces and have amassed quite the collection. One of my favorites, which happens to be on sale, is the Puck Tassel Strand necklace. I think it’s extra fun on top of the stripes.
As always, my monogrammed crossbody makes an appearance. If I’m wearing anything navy, this is my bag of choice.
To be honest, when the weather gets slightly unpredictable, it's better to stick with the trusty uniform! You know it's comfortable and will get you through whatever the weather is like now or twenty minutes from now! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
I've been so in love with that coat ever since you featured it on Instagram! And real question… are you about to get hit by a car in some of these pictures? Because we would miss you! (But really, how does that work?)
Coats are my vice! I'm gonna spend these last few weeks wearing them as often as I can before the weather starts warming up 😛 And when it finally does, I'll be ready to start wearing dresses! Can't wait to have my legs out again haha. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

This outfit really is the cutest thing. I would die to own that coat! Then again, I probably wouldn't get too much use out of it here in Atlanta. Also, that tassel necklace really is the perfect piece to complement the rest of the outfit.
This look is so cute. I did something similar with a Breton striped top! However, it's a little warmer down by me, so I can wear short sleeves already!
Love your outfit! Northern springs can be ridiculously hard to dress for! For me, I just keep wearing the same things I wore during the winter, but remove a a layer, like wearing a blazer instead of a full coat.
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
This coat is beyond adorable!

This outfit is so lovely. A fresh take on the classic striped tee. The scalloped coat is my favorite!
