I have a major confession. With the sun setting so early…. I’ve been kind of tired more than normal. Nothing has really majorly changed in my life, it’s just the sun!!! Because of the way my apartment is situated and the trees on my block, it is DARK inside at 4pm. Legitimately dark at 4pm and completely pitch black at 5pm. It’s so hard to stay focused when it feels like midnight. (I’ve been starting my day extra early to combat this.)
For better or for worse this has translated to my outfits. Almost every day, I’m wearing jeans and a sweater with one of my favorite scarves. So easy, it’s embarrassing!
This is also my most ideal work-from-home outfit. I feel completely comfortable, but it’s not like I’m just lounging in pajamas. I can run downtown for a quick coffee or meet up with friends for dinner at the end of the day and not feel like a total slob. Hello, win-win.
Oh, and I really do love a good navy and grey combination; it’s Georgetown’s colors!
This Gap scarf has to be my best purchase this fall. I bought it on a whim… I went into Gap for something random for Garrett and couldn’t resist the scarf for myself. It’s also everywhere. I know a lot of girls has the tartan blanket scarf, but I swear… I see a couple of girls on the subway wearing one of the Gap scarves every day! It’s super soft and big enough without being overwhelming and the perfect neutral plaid.
I was just in the city two weeks ago and it is so crisp and fresh! I am super jealous to see you enjoying the gorgeous weather…. and that vest is perfection.
Love! This whole look has been my "go-to" for the weather lately- just enough warmth for the cool California air! I love pairing sweaters with a vest, scarf, and a great pair of jeans. You can't go wrong!
I can totally relate to this! It's completely dark at 5pm in my appartment too and that's extremaly annoying! So, recently I've been really productive in the early hours of the day and kind of not so much in the evening…
Love the scarf and the loafers, you're wearing! <3
This is a perfect outfit! I've been doing the same thing almost every day – down to the vest! I have one of the plaid scarves from Old Navy and I love it! Except It's way to cold here to wear flats outside already!
That scarf is sooo cute! The minute I saw your instgram post I needed to find the blog post about where you got it from! Love how you wore it, too xx -Amanda- http://affordablebyamanda.blogspot.com/
A scarf is one of my ways to elevate a simple outfit. Bonus: It doubles as a wrap when my office is freezing! Gap nailed it with their cozy basics this year.
I have last seasons version of the scarf in pink, and in red, and I love it! They are so soft, and comfortable, and perfect for the awkward fall/early-winter weather we've been experiencing! And I'd love if you did more outfit posts; you always look so amazing!
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
I was just in the city two weeks ago and it is so crisp and fresh! I am super jealous to see you enjoying the gorgeous weather…. and that vest is perfection.
