#OOTD – Comfortable & Effortless

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

I love celebrating…well, anything!  Be it birthdays, holidays or baby showers any excuse to buy a gift & drink wine is a great time in my book.  This weekend I attended a family members baby shower.  It was a casual setting and I was bringing the little man so I opted for denim instead of a dress.

The outfit I chose to wear was simple (a blouse, denim & boots), but it’s the little details & finishing touches that turn an outfit like this into a “look”. I rolled the denim above my ankle to show off the booties and changed the necklace to a simple black/gold piece tying into the color story I was creating with the black footwear. Since it was a chilly afternoon I threw on an infinity scarf which I knotted around my neck.  Comfortable & effortless housewife style.

#OOTD – Day to Night

Bling doesn’t have to be reserved for date nights.  When paired with denim it can be transformed into a day-time look appropriate for any occasion.  Plus sparkle is on-trend for the fall; from brooches to tops and everything in between, the more bling the better!

This morning my son & I hosted a play date at our house.  I wanted to wear something comfortable but was in a sparkly mood.

An outfit like this can easily transition from day-to-night.  By adding a boyfriend blazer & black heels I can wear this outfit out to dinner with friends or on a date night with the hubby.  I love when something is effortless!

#OOTD – All things green

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

To piggyback on an earlier post (Green with Envy) I’m in love with all things green!  From shirts and jackets to denim and dresses I’m trying to incorporate it wherever I can, in whatever shade I can.  Today’s #OOTD was no exception.

These are the first pair of Levi’s I’ve owned & I’m hooked!  Not only is the color amazing, but they were so comfortable.  I managed to stay in them all day; run errands, grab dinner & play with my son with ease.  I cannot wait to incorporate them into other outfits this fall.
