If postpartum is full of ups and downs, this weekend was a 10/10 UPPP. Gah. The first vacation as the Sharkey party of three. I cannot believe I’m old enough (read: mature enough) to be packing a suitcase for MY bebe. My mind can’t comprehend. I owe you a little round up fun on the outfits for me and Griff still. If you want Colin’s outfits, go to www.petermillar.com…./:
So that is coming but for today, a quick share. Five GOOD things that came in the mail while we were gone.
Tuckernuck - Rhonda Tunic Top
Oh is it divine.
I gravitate towards overly structured tops because they add a great deal of interest without relying on color or pattern to do so. They read chic. They read $$$. The problem is that they often are $$$. But this guy isn’t INSANE. $198.
I’ll wear with a turtleneck, mini, tights and loafers now…and baggy light wash denim and a wrap sandal in the summer. I’m finally saying yes to events again (selectively, begrudgingly) and think this number will escort me to Thursday’s randevu.
I’m in a size 2 and she is slightly snug. So if you are chesty or in between sizes, size up!
Pistola - Jaydn Low Slung Palazzo
Remember when I sh!t on true white denim? This pair has me thinking otherwise.
My issue with white jeans is that they feel so boring, like someone thought well I guess I’ll wear white jeans with this top since it’s June. Ugh.
Maybe my issue isn’t the piece but the styling I see IRL. Keep your blue and white stripe tops away! Grab a charcoal mohair sweater, a cream chunky knit, a butter yellow structured blazer.
I’m going to play with this pair. I’ll need hemmed but these are staying. I love a styling challenge, and I’m determined to make these feel more relaxed and less WASP. (in a 26 for reference)
Pistola - Micah Sweater Tee
Signs of springgggg.
Ignore the pairing here okay, this is not a styled look. But how divine is this sweater tee. Oversized, unstructured, elbow length sleeves. It’s reading model off duty.
I love using non traditional coverups as coverups, and this piece will work perfectly for that. Toss it over a string bikini, add baggy Levi shorts and Havaiannas.
Bring it to the office with gray pleated trousers, black loafers and a black and silver western belt. Orrrr pair back with barrel leg denim, satin pants or a mini. (in a small)
Faraway - Cursive Sweater
I’m going to be honest, she’s expensive and it was a gift.
But if you’re in the position to prioritize quality, it’s freaking good. I’ve had it on for the past two hours, and have zero urge to itch or scratch which is MAJOR for wool, you know?
I selected the Ecru - bc you know I live for a tonal cream look - and the mink, which is friendlier to my fair complexion than a deep black. I was pleasantly surprised that the mink was the perfect pairing to my olive low rise Levi’s.
Tossed on the cream with a pair of silk pants I had in my clean laundry pile, and I actually think it’s fun. It’s bold but with clear jelly sandals, a statement gold earring and a cream clutch, could be a cool girls dinner look.
