I’m constantly reevaluating my style– especially in my mid 30s. A lot has changed in my life in the last five years and my style reflects that, for sure. I moved to the suburbs. survived a pandemic, got married, was pregnant multiple times, had two children. Even without external forces of evolving fashion, my personal style (or maybe rather my personal style needs) has changed drastically. Even now, seven months postpartum, I’m finally feeling inspired to put effort into my outfits and I’m rediscovering how to dress this once-again-changed body of mine.
Right now I’m thoroughly enjoying scrolling through Pinterest during sleepless nights and saving pictures of items that catch my eye on Instagram and following fashion-forward fellow moms on TikTok.
Here are some of the outfits I fully intend on pulling up while shopping and getting dressed in the coming months. One thing I love about the looks is just how classic everything is– I’m pretty sure I could recreate these looks with things I already own (assuming they fit 🤣).
White Button Down // Watch // Hat // V-Neck Sweater
Mary-Janes // Barn Jacket // Trench Coat
Cardigan // Loafers // Jeans // Bucket Bag
Tennis Necklace // Bow // T-Shirt
Love the bows and pops of color! So very Carly! http://www.elspethsdaybyday.com
Hi Carly,
I’ve noticed you talking more and mores about your style evolution and how your closet has changed over the years. Would you ever be interested in selling some of your older pieces that you no longer gravitate to? As a follower for years, there’s pieces in your closet I would jump at the chance to purchase. Just an idea!
