Monday Morning: November 6, 2023

Nov 6, 2023

I do a lot of window shopping on the weekends.  Some might say too much.  But how do you think I ended up with a fashion blog in the first place?  Do what you love, or so they say.

All of this weekend window shopping leaves me with a very long list of loved items by Monday.  How to share these finds has always been an issue.  Sometimes, sadly, without a through-line, they languish in my reading list until they’re out-of-season, sold out, or forgotten.  Enter Monday Morning, a place to share a few of the things that found over the weekend that might not find a home elsewhere.  Because why should these gems continue to languish in the rough?

How fantastic is this Tipped Military Coat from Boden?  The green color, the navy trim, the gold buttons, everything about it says Saturday brunch before shopping at Selfridge’s.  The whole outfit is incredible.  I’m thinking the sweater vest, with its apres ski vibes, would look perfect under a blue blazer for winter holidays.

I must have stripes on the brain.  My guess is that it’s from seeing this Lake cardigan on every influencer’s page last week.  I snagged this striped button up from the J.Crew Friends & Family sale; it’s a nice layering piece.  This Abercrombie cashmere sweater keeps popping up in all of my social feeds, and I love the soft grey hue.  This Mango sweater with a pop of color also caught my eye; the red feels very fresh to me.

If you have a family event this holiday season that requires a dress, but you don’t want to feel or be overdresses, this Halogen wrap-detail dress comes in ivory and black.  It looks like the perfect easy to wear dress.  And it would go wonderfully with my new boots, not that I’ve already added it to my cart and planned outfits with it.

The open-back and sleek look of this Magda Reiss jumpsuit have me rethinking any opinion that I’ve ever had about jumpsuits.  The look is impossibly chic.  It would be perfect for a holiday party or to wear to a conference under a blazer and then, without the blazer to an evening event.

So did you do any shopping this weekend?  (Window or otherwise.)  Share your gems in the comments.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
