#MyEverydayEdit

 

Hey there!!  It’s my turn for our everyday edit round-up, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.  This is turning into such a fun little activity.  But the best part?  The fact that so many of you are participating!!  Thank you!!

I got a comment from a reader last week that made my day.  “You’ve changed the way I look at clothes” she wrote.  “I never realized that getting dressed could be so….fun.”

EXACTLY.  EXACTLY THAT.

So.  Speaking of fun….

That Time It Snowed on The First Day Of Spring

Let’s ignore, for the moment, that flares + snow results in soaking wet hems.  It WAS the first day of Spring and I WAS TRYING.  But my very favorite part about wearing flares?  The insanely comfortable Dansko boots that are hiding underneath.  #truestory

 

wearing

silk blouse: Bradamant bodysuit The Coach – c/o (size XS for reference)

sweater: Zady Essentials – c/o (size XS for reference)

coat: Goodnight Macaroon – c/o (sold out, but I found a dead-ringer on Amazon for $30…)

jeans: J Brand Lovestory Flares (on supersale and almost sold out)…but the Express flares my sister swears by look amazing.

boots: Dansko c/o – from a few years ago, but I also like the Dansko Maria boot, the Dansko Thea Clog or the Dansko Rach.  Wow.

belt: Anthropologie Starburst Belt (on sale)

gloves: Echo Touch Screen Gloves

lipstick: Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Fiery

That Time The Snow Melted And It Was A Mess

Know what makes tall boots feel a little fresher?  (Rainboots especially?)  Wear ’em with destroyed denim.  This is an old trick (first talked about it here) that I’m trotting back out.  But whatevs – it still works.

 

wearing

sweater: old black cashmere sweater, long sold out….but if you are in the market for some on-sale black cashmere, the two pieces I’m coveting is this sexy, off-the-shoulder black cashmere sweater, or this cashmere cable-knit one (with elbow patches!!!).  Both are from Bluefly, and last I checked there was an additional 30% off Spring promo.

jeans:Blank Denim Skinny Distressed Jeans  (size 25 for reference)

boots: Hunter Boots (navy)

 

Ah Bless My Heart I’m Trying To Channel Spring

Fleece-lined leggings?  Check.

Flannel shirt?  Check

Super-warm Over-the-Knee Boots?  Check.

Wool Beanie?  CHECK CHECK DEAR GOD WHEN WILL SHE STOP WEARING THESE CHECK.

But the scarf, peeps, the scarf is all rainbows and baby unicorns and SPRING.

 

wearing

shirt: Madewell Flannel Oversized Boyshirt (size XS for reference)

leggings: Plush Liquid Leggings (size XS)

coat: LOFT c/o – long gone, but I’m LOVING this charcoal gray wool moto jacket from Dakota Collective

boots: old Nine West, but these waterproof, over-the-knee boots have gotten rave reviews from our readers.

scarf: soooo old, but this medallion print scarf is very similar and only $32!!

 

Cause No One Ever Went Wrong In Lipstick And Stripes

And black denim.  Because obviously, it’s BLACK DENIM.

 

wearing

shirt: Gap Striped tee (size M for reference)

jeans: Rag and Bone Rock With Holes

boots: old Uggs, try Steve Madden’s Troopa Boot

lipstick: Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in Zinfandel

 

 

That Time I Wore My “Badass Paris” Tee to School Drop-off. (oops)

I keep forgetting that Raines and his friend can read.  Also, this faux-fur jacket (Forever 21, baby) is one of my fav buys this year.  It’s cozy, warm, and I wear it with EVERYTHING.  Even during the day with graphic tees to school drop-off.  Why?

WHY NOT?  #makeitfun

 

wearing

shirt: Etre Cecile tee (sold out, but there’s an Etre Cecile Badass Paris tank)

jeans:Blank Denim Skinny Distressed Jeans  (size 25 for reference)

boots: Ugg Elisabeta Boots (now 60% off!)

coat: Forever 21 boxy faux fur (size small for reference)

Pax’s jacket: Appaman Faux-Leather (and hysterical) jacket, 55% off at 6pm, Target girl’s leggings

 

 

Croppity Crop

Gang, I’m feeling the crop in a big way.  I hacked a pair of skinnies, but a bootcut crop (like this) would be amazing.  I think all iterations of the crop is going to be a huge trend this Spring/Summer.

 

wearing

sweater: Kate Spade Aura Sweater c/o – size S for reference

jeans: Madewell High Riser Skinnies c/o (an older wash, size 25 for reference)

boots: Marc Jacobs Lug Sole Booties and black smartwool socks

bag: Kate Spade Henry Duffle

Raines: Appaman Parka, FabKids pants c/o

Pax: Appaman Faux-Leather jacket, 55% off at 6pm, Braveling tights, converse hightops

 

Date Night!

Mike and I met friends at Noord on Friday – have you been?  It’s Dutch cuisine, and…..AMAZING.  Like really and seriously blew my mind.

Anyway, I’m all about sheer black nylons right now.  Just enough color to help transition warmer footwear, but definitely lighter looking (and sexier) than my usual thick black tights.  If you have any fun events coming up, give sheer nylons a try!!  (And I’d love to see it on #myeverydayedit….)

 

wearing

sweater: Free People Sudan V-Neck (now on sale! size xs)

skirt: Nasty Gal, old, but I think I’m going to replace it with this James Perse twisted skirt because the fabric on mine is pretty thin

nylons: Silkies

boots: old Nine West, but these waterproof, over-the-knee boots have gotten rave reviews from our readers.

necklace: Stella & Dot Rebel Pendant in rose gold

bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo Clutch in soft blue

 

 

Soooo…Yeah.  We Had A Seriously Fun Weekend

Our weekends aren’t normally so packed with fun, but this one was pretty epic.  Saturday night one of our dear friends invited us over for a “real French dinner party” (she’s french).  Complete with goodies her mum flew across the atlantic….I mean seriously.  The bar has been set HIGH, and I’m not sure popcorn Sunday is going to cut it.

 

wearing

sweater: Equipment Asher V-Neck Cashmere (now on super sale)

cape: old Madewell…but Madewell’s Kimono Jacket would be seriously cute here

jeans: Rag and Bone in Surf (now on sale!)

boots: old Guess, but I love these olive suede booties by Ivanka Trump  – wool heel, and cool detail.

 

Now, let’s take a little peek at what else is happening in the #myeverydayedit world….

 

Clockwise, from top left:

1. BRAVO @candio82 for rocking the heck outta the pencil skirt and sneaker combo!  The proportions are so hard to pull off and you NAILED IT.

2.  Love the chevron and stars from @francesayme.  Typically she color-mixes in THE most inspiring ways, but this is an outfit I plan to copy stat.

3. @postpartumathlete is a mama after my own heart:  black chucks, black tee, black blazer, black (faded) jeans.  Love this, Chick.

4. Every time @tysieright posts, she’s wearing something so adorable and so weather-inappropriate for Philly that I want to scream.  BUT COME JUNE, IT IS ON TYSIERIGHT.  IT.  IS.  ON.

 

Soooo…I also loved @onafullstomach‘s day-to-night transformation, and @the_fly_mommy‘s reminder of what HAWT shoes can do to any outfit. (Also?  Best baby photobomb ever.)

 

I mean…I can keep going with this.  I keep studying @therer5’s flippy sweatshirt skirt (she nailed the sexy nerd vibe) and am soooo tempted by @sistertosons’ elegant sweatpants.   You guys are amazing.

MWAH!

ps.  I leave for Puerto Rico in TWO DAYS.  If you want to see pics, as well as more #myeverydayedits, follow me on Instagram (@shanachristine).  Also, if you really and truly love each and every one of us, @scottiliz has some makeup before-and-afters coming soon, @camilledipaola‘s cool photography and funny faces always make my day, and the way @girlmeetsbaby dresses her kiddos makes me SWOON.
