it’s home again, home again, jiggity jig! love those streets of san francisco, but there’s no place like home. mr. style and i caught the red-eye and slept all night after a whirlwind trip to california. if you missed any of the action on InstaStories, you could still view a story or two of our day trip to SF. we even squeezed in a photo shoot so stay tuned.
today’s ootd is all about flower power, ladies, and one brand i’ve taken a shining to lately – Boden. since my teenage years, there’s at least one pair of pants hanging in my closet with a bold print. this pair is from Boden’s fall collection similar here. they’re fun and sassy and a little bit preppy. they might be the star of this show if it weren’t for this adorable sweater. take a look at the sleeves! love the crochet buttonholes that add pizazz. this is the type of detail that always sets an item apart.

the weather’s been on the balmy side this past week. blazer/sweater weather is my favorite time of year as i love to add a third piece to my outfit to add some spit and polish. red sandals with a comfortable kitten heel and red handbag round this ootd off. now it’s time to unpack and hit the floor running.

What fun. Thank you for showing us that boldness can be attractive at our mature age. I would also personally like to thank you for your informative and classy blog. It has really helped me to open up in my own style (which mirrors yours). I find I am now more confident and have solid knowledge in areas I was formerly lacking. Thank you again. Valerie
thanks so much for stopping by, valerie! nothing makes me happier than to hear you found some inspiration on the blog. that’s what it’s all about.

I need to get out of my box. I haven’t worn patterned pants since some flag bell bottoms in the 70’s. I bought some white jeans, but haven’t dared to wear them.
start with the white denim then slowly branch out. don’t forget you can wear white jeans 365 days a year. since white goes with everything you will have a ball mixing and matching.

Love your sweet uplifting outifit and attitude đđ
awww, thanks linda! what a sweet compliment.

Love this look and will have to check out Boden this spring. I have heard of them … and recall when you posted another OOTD with these darling pants … so I have no excuse!
i hope you do check out Boden. if you like classic styles with a twist like i do you will love this brand.

Boden just has a flair for color! you always know you hit the jackpot when people compliment your outfit.

Hi! I am wondering how you keep a shirt line from showing when you wear tucked in button-down shirts..
Thanks
