It was the week of the little blue jacket! Alex Mill launched it as a part of its spring collection this week and I wore it three times. So versatile and fresh, and the perfect mid-weight layer for these 50-degree days. Leandra Medine has been talking about this color as a complement to the pops of red that have been everywhere (an example of which seen below in my red-and-white striped shirt) — in her words: “a response to (as in, good companion color to) the season’s surge of red.” Medine calls it “Bottega-ish” blue. Je l’adore. Wearing above/below with this Boden shirt, Alex Mill’s Carla jeans (run TTS, had to have them hemmed by about four or five inches, no joke — I’m 5’0 and these run long), and my favorite support bag, the Altuzarra Watermill, which I continue to yap about because it goes with everything in my closet.

Another take: the cardigan with a Kule striped tee, Loeffer Randall Leonies (divinely soft right out of the box), and Agolde Rileys. And of course the bag.

Date night in Charlottesville! Wearing a Cami NYC dress, L’Agence denim jacket, these under-$20 shades, a Paris64 crossbody, and these $60 Quince flats. As you can see, I was very excited for the occasion. You can also spot my Ossa phone case and wristlet in a few of these photos. Actually really handy when you’re in a tourist mode — you can keep the phone close at hand without having to physically hold it the entire time (just have it hanging off your wrist).

My car travel day look! I had mentioned I was planning to wear my Frank and Eileen sweatsuit, but I needed an outfit that could take me from morning Mass to wine tasting with a two hour car ride in the middle. I chose these Agolde pinch waist jeans, a plain J. Crew tee, the Quince mules, and this Veronica Beard vest (high sell-out risk!), which elevated everything. The Quince mules are like the convertible of shoes. You can wear them with dresses or jeans, and they feel perfectly midway between dressed up and down.


Earlier in the morning, I wore with a utility jacket with fun faux fur trim at the bottom half — sadly from a brand no longer in existence, Harvey Faircloth! I still wear the jacket each winter season.

The third time I wore “the jacket” this week — with a Leset pointelle tee, Agolde pinch waists, Quince flats, and Paris64 bag. (This was part of my travel ensemble. All the pieces so easy to mix and match!)

A shot of my packing for the trip! Everything played so nicely together.

Last but not least: my outfit for my daughter’s Taylor Swift-themed birthday party! I wore this tee (under $20) and these Sezane acid wash jeans. They were so fun and different! They run really small. Disregard the note on sizing down – I sized up one size and probably could have gone up two!

P.S. It’s their day, too.

P.P.S. Everyday jewelry.

P.P.P.S. What does your job say about you?
