What Are You Wearing?

I finally have a day that doesn't include having to dress up to see important people or do extra important things. This means the high-light of my day is deciding what kind of sandwich to get from Potbelly's. Since it's a day that I get to wear whatever I feel like, I planned my outfit around the ultra-coveted Frye boots (see picture, and no...they're not the boots on Roy) from my sister's closet.

Today I'm wearing:

-Kerrigan Rugged Snap Tunic
-Kova&T Oxy Leggings
-Frye Engineer Boots
-A smile on my face, since I'm now officially addicted to coffee

What Are You Wearing?

On a day that involves a lunch date, a dinner date and a meeting with my fake boss, the right look for my semi-busy day required being decked out in Atticus gear. Today, I'm wearing

-LnA Men's Deep V
-So Low Leggings
-Frye Paige boots

Notes On: Effortless Fashion

It's usually a safe bet that any look deemed 'effortless' is anything but. Take for instance that perfectly destroyed Balmain t-shirt gracing the pages of every known fashion issue (see Daria at left). After a wasted hour of going at, and completely ruining, my favorite Marc by Marc tee with a scissors and cheese grater, I can tell you that this particularly disheveled look is far from effortless. And unless you've been blessed with a mane like our model, Rachel, that breezy Wang braid is nearly impossible.

Lately, my schedule has been so packed with travel, fall market, dinner parties, fundraisers, meetings, photo shoots, collaborations and a rather intense remodeling project, I haven't even had time to tweet. Clearly that leaves zero time for creating inventive, or even interesting, looks from the emerging piles of clothing lying on my floor. In order to survive the rest of this daunting winter, I need a few go-to looks that really actually require only tiny amounts of effort.

Here are the pieces I consider to be relatively effortless and are currently being worn in heavy rotation:

ACNE Blackout Dress: So easy to put on over tights. I put a belt with it for meetings.

Charlotte Ronson High Waisted Shorts: I swear they really are effortless. They're enough of a show piece themselves, so tights and any top complete the outfit. I like to tuck in a white t-shirt if I'm going out, but they also look cute dressed up with an embellished tank.

Filippa K Long Slip Tank: It's long enough to wear alone with tights. So, I have them in a variety of colors. I always wear one over tights, and then just throw any cardigan, sweater, or jacket over it to complete the look.

Kerrigan Richard Jacket: I steal this out of my sister's closet to dress up my favorite t-shirts or to make my tank dresses wearable in the winter.

Temperley London Honeycomb Sweater: This is my all time favorite piece. I own it in 3 different lengths and colors.

The Justification: Rain Drops on Roses and Wearing Hunter Wellies...These are a Few of My Favorite Things



It's ridiculously wet and gloomy in Madison today, and only one good thing is coming from it...wearing Hunter Wellies! In honor of such a dreary day, here are my picks for what will make your rainy day a little less grey.


Justification #1: Making a funny comment about the name of these is just way too easy. But they are still amazing! Moving on...



Justification #1: When I think about corduroy, I think "mom pants". However, the Current/Elliott version is definitely too skinny to be in fear of falling into the category. Sorry Mom!









Justification #1: I can't think of a comment witty enough to grace one of my justifications, so I'll just leave you with a fit tip about these babies.

**FIT TIP: These jeans are made from a very thin denim and are meant to be worn more like a legging than a jean. We recommend wearing them with tunics and longer tops.

Deep Thoughts: Hoodies


There's a girl about town Kristin and I have unkindly dubbed, "hoodie girl." As another friend put it, "she looks like she's done about 20 years of hard drinking!" We're usually not this mean (Kristin anyways) and this girl is not unattractive. She just suffers from the common malady of wearing a virtually indistinguishable variation of the same outfit every day. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for lazy. I'm the girl who wears leggings 98% of the time because they're one tiny step up from pajamas, so I feel her pain. But with so many other exceptional and unique options, it's time to give the hoodie a much-needed vacation and graduate to more sophisticated styles.

I've extolled the virtues of Kerrigan by Daryl K wrappers before, so if you haven't already checked them out, do it, and do it now! Aude. also offers ultra soft and cozy shrugs perfect for chilly nights. And as a personal believer that a girl can never have too many cardigans, options from Loomstate will permanently banish that hoodie to the back of the closet.

Wrappers, shrugs, cardigans or stoles, it doesn’t matter which; pulling one on instead of the old standby will instantly update an outfit.

What are you wearing?


Today was one of the first chilly mornings that signal the end of summer and the beginning of fall. It was also one of those mornings where I snoozed for a full hour and left myself a whooping 15 minutes to get ready. I chose comfort, and let's be honest, whatever was on my floor. I'm wearing:
  • Acne Jeans
  • a Bop basic gauze tunic
  • my favorite Kerrigan by Daryl K wrapper (pictured). If I could only wear 5 things for the rest of my life, this would be one of them.
