Here it
is. A classy dress, classic jacket, and solid pumps – yet together, they create
something a little offbeat and unexpected.
This
is what I wore for a scholarship brunch (my friend was the alumni recipient!!
#stagemom #smilesweetie). I wanted to be classy, age appropriate, scholarly
(even though I, myself, was not a scholarship candidate), yet stay far away
from stuffy.
So I decided on lace, suede, and tweed. All of those elements by
themselves are classic, and even paired together they would create a very
timeless look. What makes this look hit all the points I wanted to cover is the
color pairings (navv blue with varying shades of pink), and the different
textures (plus the fun printed clutch). Regarding color, these shoes go with everything,
turns out. And you know I luuurvvvvve navy blue. This jacket was just begging
to be worn after a long hiatus of sitting in a box in a spare bedroom.
And
then the textures – lace, tweed, and suede. By now I’m sure you know I’m a huge
fan of different textures – whether it’s actual texture, or the appearance of different
textures by using different prints. I think I really hit the nail on the head
with this look – it was perfect for a Saturday morning brunch at a country club
to celebrate Panhellenic scholarships, and, the icing on the cake - it was
pretty comfortable, too. No pulling at Spanx, or complaining when I overate,
which of course, I did…I mean, we were served breakfast burritos, and those are my love language.

Sadly, this is the last picture you’ll see of both dogs – our handsome Turbo passed away a few days after these were taken. He went very peacefully, in his sleep, but completely unexpected. We are missing his sweet & grumpy old self quite a bit. However, Olaf is reveling in the attention of being an only dog.
