Being Bridget

The Cutest Peplum Top

Top: Elizabeth & James Ruthe peplum {also here} // Jeans: 3×1 Shelter straight crop jeans // Shoes: James Campbell Shree flats // Bag: Clare V foldover clutch // Earrings: Bauble Bar Paris drop earrings // Sunglasses: Celine

I’m all about a classic peplum. This one feels extra crispy because of the bright beautiful white color – and I think it could be amazing holiday if it was paired with something like a pair of velvet jeans or bright red pants! I’ve styled it here with my favorite new jeans from 3×1 – I love the detail on the hem. Makes an everyday jean feel special! I would size down a size on these because they do stretch out. Last but not least, these little James Campbell flats deserve an oscar because they do an incredible job at impersonating these {much more $$$$} Paul Andrew flats. I had been wanting these PA flats for forever but just could never bring myself to spend the money on them. Imagine my excitement when I found this much less expensive pair. They’re exact, and oh so perfect.

Happy {almost!} Friday!

Hatch Gal

Dress: Hatch jersey drape dress // Shoes: Steve Madden Effect Boots {on sale!} // Scarf: Old, similar here // Sunglasses: Celine // Bag: BP Foldover Clutch, similar here

Here I go again, wearing a maternity dress…..but do you blame me? Everything Hatch makes is perfectly oversized and neutral, which y’all know is my favorite combination. And honestly, Hatch even says their clothes are for ‘before, during, and after’ pregnancy wear so maybe I’m just getting a head start? You gotta love a maternity line that thinks long term. As women, we all know we won’t be pregnant forever {even though I’ve heard it feels like it!} and Hatch really drives that home by designing beautiful basics that women want to wear post pregnancy {and hey! pre-pregnancy like me:)} Their prices aren’t exactly cheap, but think of it as an investment – especially if you plan on having several children! Need a visual? I love that Shopbop shows the models wearing the clothes both with and without a bump. That is what sold me on the jersey dress above. I loved the high-love hem, the fitted sleeves, and the pretty grey color. It looked so comfortable, and warm and I knew I could find a million ways to wear it throughout the fall & winter season. Oh, and call me crazy, but I would 1000% wear this pre & post pregnancy – for years to come.
