Plain White T | Casual Chic

I’m not entirely sure if it’s the heat that is getting to me, or just the lazy vibe of summer itself. Most likely it’s a combination of both, but all I want to wear these days is a white t-shirt and jeans (preferably a loved pair of vintage 501 button down levi’s). This casual chic ensemble is perfect for a Sunday brunch outing, followed by some treasure hunting plans and a little adventurous wandering perhaps?Black leather converse and leather ray ban wayfarer frame sunglasses! I am definitely swooning over the chic spin on these classic pieces. The black leather backpack might even come in handy as a stylish shopping or camera bag. Boom.

Lady Rebel

She is every bit of a lady, with just a pinch of a rebel soul. I love the juxtaposition of these two style elements together, don’t you? This is the perfect ensemble for a seamless transition into Fall, and these pieces can be mixed + matched and styled in so many other looks too, they are such versatile staples to have in your closet. Head over to ModCloth to shop all of the items you see here!

Transition to Fall

As we make the transition towards fall, all I can think about is the crisp air, cozy sweaters, and a warm cup of coffee in hand (preferably while perusing a bookstore or antique shop). 

These are the classic essentials that are on my radar for fall: 

a cozy cable knit sweater, a favorite pair of jeans, a chic hat to hide the lazy hair days (we all have them!), a comfortable pair of boots, and a classic black leather strap timepiece and handbag. Can we just talk about this manhattan zip code scarf? And don’t you just love the juxtaposition of these fabulous earrings with said leather baseball cap? Certainly tomboy chic, no?

Baseball Mom

This style board was extra special for me to put together, due to my life connection with baseball. I wear many hats, baseball mom is one of them, (read below if you are interested to know the details...)

So, this is a version of the baseball uniform and essentials that often visit the park with me to my son's games, but you definitely don't have to be a baseball mom to wear this look. It's just one of those great all around classic style looks, for those days when you just feel like being casually tomboy chic. Oh, and I wouldn't mind having that Coach  baseball glove to play catch with at all!

Some Fun Facts:

1. I grew up listening to baseball games on the radio with my grandpa, so this pastime is pretty close to home for me. 

2. I have been a legit baseball mom for almost ten years now, since my son was a tee-baller. He is now a Little League Major, All-Star 2nd basemen (time flies).

3. I will gladly kick my heels off and put a baseball glove on to play catch with my son (you better believe I know how to throw a baseball).

4.The Sandlot is still one of our favorite family movies to cuddle up with and watch, we have been indulging in this tradition since my son was three years old (you are never to old to cuddle with your mom).

5.There is no crying in baseball!

A little bit rock + roll

I found such lovely elements of inspiration in the image below. She is sweet, always chic and a little bit on the rock + roll edge. Sort of like the pieces I picked out. Somewhere underneath, is a wild child that let's loose once in a while. ~meow
