I think I've recently mentioned that my weekends don't officially start until Saturday...night. Eddie works on Satrudays and it's his earliest day of the week, which makes thigns a bit more more hectic around here, espeically with two little ones now. So...
I'm starting off this week with a bit of 'tude. There's something about a black and grey combination that creates a somewhat serious, authoritative vibe to it. Attitude and I love it! For the most part, these pieces are pretty basic. The tee is simple, yet another one of Eddie's pieces, and the grey jeans. They aren't necessarily basic, since they have the angled frayed hem, which takes them up a notch, but they're denim nonetheless. Let me just say, Express' jeans are really good if you haven't yet given them a try. I was a huge lover of New York & Company for years, you know this if you've been a reader for some time now, but I have a couple of Express jeans and they're so good. The stretch is great, they have awesome styles and they always have sales running. Though the pair I'm wearing here is pretty much sold out (there's only one size available online) this pair is a bit similar.
Since becoming a mom, I've really begun to appreciate basics and mixing and matching them to create new, fresh outfits that are stylish as they are practical. This isn't to say I don't appreciate a good statement piece, I most certainly do. If you've been a longtime reader now, you'd know how much I love my color and prints! Perhaps loving basics more these days has even made me a bit more choosy when it comes to those bold pieces.
