Joie Peasant Blouse 3 ways… Day 2

Yesterday, I paired this Joie top with slip on oxfords and a pair of DL 1961 jeans, for a comfortable day outfit.

Today, I wanted to show how I would wear it dressed up for a more work friendly outfit.

At first, all I did was throw on a pair of cropped navy pants. It would work for the more casual work place, and the oxfords are great if you have to be on your feet (worn with these!) Then I added a belt to make it a little more structured and threw on some fun heels! Here’s Maya’s take on a fun colorful belt. As the weather gets colder, I’d add a little cardigan and tights! Love using summer items all year round.On me…

I’m never afraid to buy warm weather clothing in the winter for either myself of Maya. It’s usually on close out, and great for layering!

Joie Peasant Blouse 3 ways… Day 1

I love having items in my wardrobe that can cross over from day to night. Casual to work. This blouse from Joie, does that perfectly.

The first way I’m wearing it is just day casual. I might not take Maya to the park in this, since it’s white/and a little expensive, but it’s great for errands or apts. Paired with slip on oxfords and another pair of DL 1961 jeans, this outfit could not be more comfortable! I like to put colored/patterned tanks under sheer tops for a little modesty, pop of color, or fun boost to a neutral outfit. Maya’s take on the boho top and skinnies 🙂On me…

Top- Joie (on sale!!)

Jeans- DL 1961 Emma Legging Don’t let the name fool you. They are jeans, but with the usual 4 way stretch, they feel like leggings 🙂

Shoes- Miss Sixty “Marlene” oxford (sold out, but you can still find them on eBay!) Similar here.
Tank- C & C California (old, but can find similar here.)

On Maya…

Top- Old Navy (thrifted, but dying over this one!)

Jeans-Gap

Shoes- Zulily They come up often, so save this search “Mariposa Slip on Shoe” ($6!!)

Super Mom Tip:

I hate to iron, so whenever possible I spray items with a spray bottle (I add a few spritz of body spray in the bottle to make it smell good!). I either let the item hang dry or toss it in the dryer. Voila-wrinkle free and smelling nice! I always take a spray bottle when traveling too.

Tomorrow, I’ll show how I would wear this top as work casual. 🙂

Colored Denim…

When your daily uniform is t-shirt and jeans, you love when they come up with a variation on it! Colored denim? All over it! And these Black Orchid jeans are unbelievably comfortable!! They are so stretchy, that they feel like sweats, yet look like jeans.

Btw…this was taken right after it had been in the 70’s, then got windy/sprinkling (in case you thought I had a wind machine :)). 5 minutes after I took these…DOWNPOUR. Yup, tis the season…

I had one of those moments today where I thought “There are only a few more sunny days left in the year. OMG, WHY have I been wearing the same two pairs of flip flops all summer???!!! Why haven’t I worn the sandals I love??!!” Love these shoes! Oddly enough, I “save” them. What’s up with that??!Oh, and then the weather turned…And I looked for something cuddly.I didn’t dress Maya the same today, but…she has rocked colored denim on a number of occasions. Here’s one that’s similar…
