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. 🙂
Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!
Barn Jacket is @oldnavy, embroidered by @bobinettedesigns (inspired by @goldcoastdyes)
What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Can you believe that Teddy is 11 years old? We recently switched to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It combines all the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of kibble. Each kibble-sized bite is crafted with freeze-dried raw meat and individually prepared ingredients for optimal digestibility, making it extremely convenient AND nutritious. #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻
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!
