Get Pinspired

I am always turning to Pinterest for inspiration, recipes, and creative ideas for my family and I love seeing all the creativity floating around. Here are some of my favorite looks from Pinterest that have inspired me the past month in choosing my daily outfit...

love this look

Like Christmas. #Plaid #Scarf #Sweater #Bag #Bracelets #Grown #Up #Grunge

Cream Cable Knit Sweater and Plaid Shirt
I have been obsessing over this combo all winter long! This sweater has been the ultimate go-to sweater of mine and I love how it looks with a pop of plaid underneath paired with a great jean and good pair of boots!

Cargo Jacket and Leopard Scarf
I love this effortless and casual look on the days when I don't really feel like trying but want to be put together (if that makes any sense). It's a combination that I don't have to think about and this was one of my favorite looks from last month. I could wear this combo everyday!

pants: Vince Skinny Stretch Jeans // blouse: H&M Essential Polka Dot Blouse Navy // sweater: GAP //boots: thrifted

I've had a navy and white polka dot blouse from Old Navy in my closet for a while now and only have worn it one other time. I was browsing through pinterest to find some ideas on different ways I could wear it and I loved this image I found with a dark green and camel color. I had a dark evergreen color pair of pants from Walmart and a long camel cardigan from Target that I paired with my blouse and to venture into mixing prints I added my leopard flats from Target to complete the whole look. I think this was my favorite look from the entire month!

Come follow along with me and see the inspiration on my boards here and I'd love to see what "pinspires" you!

Cargo, Gold, and Leopard...OH MY!

So this past weekend we went out to one of the local farmer's markets around us and had so much fun. It wasn't freezing and the sun peeked out every now and then. It was the perfect day for a light sweatshirt, my favorite cargo jacket, a pop of animal print and my new sneakers that I am literally obsessed with, I wear them almost every day! Cozy and stylish at it's best for the both of us. Lilly had a blast seeing all the doggies and chickens and she even played with some other kids and danced to the one-man-band that was there. We had a very yummy lunch, scored a couple of sweet treats and took home a good amount of fresh veggies.

Yes we match ;)

Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites by nataliemorelliwaters featuring a palette eyeshadow

So here are some of the things I've been browsing at across the web this week. I've really been interested in getting a new pair of athletic shoes and these metallic ones from New Balance are calling my name. I have also been looking for a good "all-in-one" eyeshadow pallette and this one from Lorac Pro seems to have the perfect colors that I'm looking for. This mint tote and red skirt from Old Navy are just absolutely fabulous and are having me wishing for warmer weather, especially this week. And this dress from Target I'm obsessed with; it has such a great shape and I'm obsessed with the graphic print! I also discovered this coffee body scrub from Frank and has me really intrigued to try it out.

Spring Wish List

Spring Wish list by nataliemorelliwaters featuring a pink trench coat

Trench Coat

Nothing is more classic and comfortable for spring then a great khaki trench coat. I used to have a nice trench, but I'm not sure if it is in storage or if I got rid of it when we moved so if it's not in storage I might be re-investing in one again this year :)

Gingham Shirt

I love plaid and nothing is more spring and summer to me then a lightweight gingham blouse. This year I really want a navy blue and white one...how classic!

Pastel Denim

A great way I like to add a little variety to my wardrobe is with a colorful denim or pant, and pastels for spring are what I'm lusting for this year.

Windowpane

This print is everywhere right now and is a nice graphic print other then all the watercolor florals we are consumed with every spring.

Pops of red

I've been seeing a lot of these pops of this coral/pink/red color everywhere right now and I'm very intrigued to incorporate it with some of my accessories in my spring wardrobe this year.

Pastel Accessories

Mini pastel handbags are everywhere as wel! I'm lusting over these cute little crossbody satchels that come in an array of pastel cuteness!

Nude Nail Polish

As a change from all the dark and bright fingernail polish I have and wear periodically, right now I'm really drawn to different kinds of nudes and neutral nail colors.

Mommy Uniform: Fall Edition

So on days when it actually feels like fall here I have been living in my go-to fall pieces: my military jacket, skinny jeans, flats or my ankle booties. This combination of pieces are just what I have been gravitating to on a daily basis this fall and the pairing options are endless. From denim shirts, to plaid, to basic or graphic t's, these few pieces make for unlimited amounts of fall outfits. Rotate the skinnies for cords, or a black skirt, or whatever your style fancy may be and you're whole fall wardrobe is complete with just a few pieces.

Out running errands in my Old Navy Jacket, Banana Republic Striped T-shirt from the summer, Walmart Skinnies, Nine West Flats from a few years ago (similar below), and Bow Wallet/Clutch from Kohls :)

Capsule Wardrobe Update

So this whole paring down and planning a capsule wardrobe thing is a lot harder than I thought. I'm already halfway through October and I am no where near done yet. So far I have definitely pared down a lot and I am currently making my shopping list and researching the exact pieces I really want to include in my wardrobe this fall and winter season. The weather here also makes it harder when the days are like 85 and you want to wear clothes for much cooler weather.

So here is what I am thinking for my shopping list so far/ as of right now:

Boyfriend Jeans

Casual Skinny Jeans

(already have a really dark/dressier pair of skinnies and a boot cut pair)

Tweed/Herringbone vest

A cape or poncho, preferably in a camel color

A light grey or blush colored coat for the winter

A really nice and flattering stripe t-shirt

Skinny cords

(This is a maybe item that I'm not sure if I want to add in my wardrobe yet)

A little black dress in a material that I can wear all year round

I already have a good variety of boots and fall shoes so I don't need to add anything there, except I would like a nice new pair of dressy low heels for the holidays.

And here is my ultimate wishlist and somewhat of a color scheme of things I would love to add to my wardrobe this season that I will use as a reference when picking out and budgeting pieces in to the wardrobe. Everything I want is from Loft and Old Navy so stalking those websites for good deals and sales is happening everyday :)
