Okay, so I am not a blogger who could ever post gorgeous outfit of the day photos on my blog every day. I try to do one or two a week, but I generally wear pretty normal clothes. I do get dressed up for some meetings and events throughout the week, but when you work from home, I definitely don’t wear heels on the reg. I wouldn’t change a thing. On my Instagram, I’ve been posting more outfits of what I actually wear on regular days.
Again, I love a fancy outfit as much as the next girl, but in reality…. it’s just not the usual outfits for me!
So this is a relatively dressed up look, but still on the more casual end of things. I was heading to a rewardStyle party and I sometimes it can be intimidating and overwhelming to be surrounded by that many Valentino Rockstuds and $3,000 designer handbags. So I went as simple as can be and felt completely comfortable and myself.
The dress is from Ann Taylor (c/o) and easily my new go-to dress. It’s also currently 50% off with code “DEAL50” at checkout. Ann Taylor runs a little big, so I would go down a size or two from your normal. (I actually ended up getting a petite size.)
Those nude pumps have been worn into the ground. Talk about cost per use… They’re so comfortable and go with about 80% of my dresses. I swear by them.
On the weekends, I’m super lazy about my outfits! I try to keep one of my weekend days obligations-free. Even if I run out of the apartment to go get coffee or run an errand, I switch back into my comfy clothes the minute I return. It’s kind of a bad habit I’m in, but when it’s the weekend…. I think it’s okay 😉 Pajama bottoms are Sleepy Jones (c/o) and shirt is a Hanes tee (c/o).
I CANNOT say enough great things about these Converse sneaks. I slip them on first thing in the morning to walk Teddy and wear them whenever my days include a lot of walking and/or errand running. The perfect casual sneak. (Plus, the design of these are super feminine!)
This weekend, Garrett and I were invited to eat at International Wing Factory for dinner. It was cold and rainy and the perfect night for delicious wings. (The Garlic Parmesan sauce is so so so good.) I had spent the afternoon running around town and going to various friend things. I opted for my new Lilly Pulitzer dress (under $100!) and my quilted puffer vest (the BEST purchase you can make for fall… I just got it in this gingham print too).
Side note: The IWF’s daughter was at the restaurant and she is hands down the cutest thing in the entire universe. I wanted to take her home with me. And my side braid, worn to ward off frizziness from the rain, was a huge hit. Apparently, it looks just like an “Elsa braid.” Ha!
Just thought I’d share some of my typical, normal outfits on here. If you want to be able to shop my Instagrams, you can sign up for Like To Know It. (I know it seems annoying, but it’s actually super easy once you sign up… then you don’t have to do anything else.) When you sign up, every time you “like” a photo on Instagram that has the #liketkit you’ll get the product details sent to your inbox. Just so you know what you’ll be getting, this is how it looks…. it’s so easy! You can toggle your settings to change how frequently you get emails (I prefer getting one recap a week personally).
I love your every day outfits too! I wish people really did wear more every day outfits because the new thing is yoga pants and sweatpants to go out everyday which I can't stand. You look classic, stylish, and comfy!
I love your outfits because they always seem so put-together and yet you seem to be comfortable with what you're wearing! I feel like a lot of people wear uncomfortable clothes that they think are fashionable, but end up looking awkward because of it.
I love a good sneaker. I am definitely picking up a pair or two of the converse! Love that guy in the window nicely photo-bombing your in your black dress. So funny.
When I'm feeling lazy, I go for all basics, and then choose one "statement" item, though I put that in quotation marks, because it really isn't a statement, just something that makes it seem like I put more thought than I did into what I was wearing, whether it be shoes, hair accessories, or a scarf! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
You look so cute in all your outfits! Love the realness of this post too! Sometimes in awe of how fashion bloggers are always dressed so perfectly every day! Nice to know that we all rock more casual outfits too! (Though that AT dress is so pretty!)
I love these outfits because they're things I could actually wear! I love looking at the outfits of fashion bloggers, but they seem so impractical for me. Your outfits are way more my style. 🙂
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
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
Sometimes your everyday wear is just the best – it's comfortable, stylish and wears well time after time! Sounds like a fun weekend – xo – R&R
I love your every day outfits too! I wish people really did wear more every day outfits because the new thing is yoga pants and sweatpants to go out everyday which I can't stand. You look classic, stylish, and comfy!
