The Inner Geek

sweater (J.Crew old, men's version HERE), eyelet top (J.Crew, T-shirt Version), jeans (Articles of Society c/o), oxfords (Dolce Vita), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

Argyle, eyelet, & oxfords (coveting THESE)---channeling my inner nerd and I've gotta say, feel pretty damn comfy doing so.  This rig screams fall and is perf for errands, mom mode, lunch with the gals, etc--so ideal for my lifestyle.  

So let me soapbox it for a second with these Articles of Society Jeans.  I was intro'd to the line a few months ago and I've gotta say, totally digging their fit and price point.  Using the same high quality fabrics, fit standards, and craftsmanship as their luxury counterparts, AOS focuses on bringing quality denim to us regular gals without the crazy designer denim price tag.  Bonus:  the designers are veterans in the denim industry with prior ties to Hudson, Antik, Vince & Theory--so they're legit needless to say!  Alright, gang, have a fab weekend---I've got my mom, Bitsy, coming into town tonight and I couldn't be more excited.  Our visits are the BEST--full of laughs, productivity, and good cookin!  Headed to some fall festivals this weekend to enjoy this gorg weather!  See y'all Monday!

New LunchBox, Backpack, Threads...could only mean one thing...Back to School Shopping!  Hands down one of my most fave times of year as a kid. I can vividly remember getting home with all of my new goodies, laying them out on my bed, and getting down to the business of the "First Day of School Outfit."  Now my big gal is heading back to 1st grade next week and while she wears the standard khaki/polo school uniform, it got me thinking...What would my back to school uniform look like if I was to head back to the hallowed halls of SFHS?  I love the idea of the traditional khaki/collared shirt all buttoned, tucked, and prepster; however, I would definitely spruce her up a bit with bold hues, bags, and baubles!  If I may make a suggestion for a fall staple purchase...the SchoolBoy Blazer.  I have had this one for at least 5 seasons, I never tire of it, it goes with so many darn things, I am definitely getting it in another shade this season--it's just a goodin!  Y'all can shop pieces of the look below if you so choose:
