How I Wore It :: Color Blocking Fun


I had a loooooong day of shooting today for our spring fashion issue at the magazine {up at 5:30am and got back home at 6:20pm} but it was worth every second. I hope this isn't a secret but the editors decided to use my line for the entire spread and it was FABULOUS! Everything went perfect, the model was such a rockstar, hair and makeup were genius; I can't wait to share the final result with you which will come out in the May issue. Stay tuned!

Anywho, I went to a baby shower this past weekend and decided it might be time to take off the sweat pants. Not gonna lie: getting this belt around my waist was quite a feat. I actually took it off in the car on the way there because it was ridiculously tight - breathing is a good thing - and just flat out uncomfortable. The decision came down to this: wear cute belt and give false appearance of small waist 9 weeks after baby, or eat. I went with eat. Buh bye belt.




Dress - Theory, Belt - Cynthia Rowley {on sale for $20!! at her boutique on Bleecker!}, Shoes - Christian Louboutin, Clutch - Marc Jacobs, Earrings - Miu Miu, Watch - Michele

Ok so this outfit really doesn't go along with my "reasonable budget" What I Wore's, but there will be more of those next week. Pinky swear. I also wanted to share what is actually happening on the sidelines at my house during these picture taking sessions - total craziness, as always. I literally have like 26.9 seconds to take photos before my attention is needed elsewhere... :)

p.s. Don't you just love Big Squish's new Native Kids shoes?! They are my {and his!} absolute fave. With socks. Without socks. Easy peasy and cute to boot. We got ours from Nordstrom but they are also available on Zappos.com.

  1. I love your style. It is so effortlessly chic with unexpected combinations that you manage to pull off flawlessly. I'm taking notes! :)

    I have a fashion question for you... I'm 23 and am graduating in May from SMU and am currently on the hunt for the perfect outfit. It has definitely been a long haul to get to this point, so I want to make sure that I look and feel extra special that night. I have a somewhat smaller budget but am willing to splurge a bit more for my graduation. (Obviously I will be in a cap and gown during the ceremony but that night my parents are hosting a party in my honor) My 3.5 year-old daughter will be wearing a hot pink gingham dress from Papo D'anjo. I don't want to match her per say but it would be nice if our outfits didn't clash. Anyway, I know that you have a lot on your plate and probably won't have time to answer a question like this, but if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks so much, Sheridan!

  6. Lucy ~ I am never too busy for my sweet readers :) Your daughter's dress sounds adorable!! Love Papo D'Anjo. Well let's see...hot pink...white goes with anything and is always a great spring/summer color that will never be wrong in any situation. (Except weddings...I never wear white to a wedding as I feel that is reserved for the bride only on her special day) I would say as far as colors go though, you could wear a lighter shade of pink, or a complimentary color in the same tone. Don't wear a bright blue dress like I did above, for example, but an orange dress would be nice. I wouldn't do red either and green will be tricky too. You could get something with a pattern that has hot pink in it, and that would work very well too... Is this any help?! No matter what you will look gorgeous and feel great - what an achievement!! Congratulations xox

  8. i just love how you mix color together - how you do that, girl?! after discovering your blog last week - i became inspired to go through my closet and mix more color and wear more of my pieces with patterns - and not wear the same old tired clothes! i even bought some bright blue shoes earlier in the week. thanks for giving a tired & stressed mom some inspiration. p.s. i'm from Dallas, but live in San Diego - i always say, Dallas is my home, but i live in San Diego. xo,alicia

  9. So happy I found your blog - your style is out of this world and I love the pieces you put together!! Such an inspiration! BTW, I emailed my hubby the link to your spring collection and told him in a not so subtle way that I would LOVE one of your designs for our 5th year anniversary gift!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!

  10. Alicia that is music to my ears! I feel like we moms in particular too easily get into an exercise clothes slump of black and grey...at least I do :) Dressing with color makes it easier to want to toss the sweats!

  12. I found your blog through Elements of Style and I'm really enjoying it. I read all your posts and I love your style! I even found myself wearing bright, happy colors yesterday even though it's still cold and snowy here in the northeast. I particularly like your "what I wore" posts.
