It has been about eight months since my last fashion post. Having a baby can crimp your style a wee bit.  I just didn’t think anyone would care which yoga pants I was wearing, or if I even bothered to get out of last nights PJs…

Next month I head back to work. My hubby is taking the last four months with Colton. To gear up for the transition, I started going back into the office for a half day once a week. There are weeks where I don’t feel like going simply because I miss my little man. However, the idea of putting on real clothes and buying a Starbucks latte is powerful motivation.

For Mother’s Day this year Adam bought me a pair of Steve Madden combat boots that I’d had my eye of n for very long time. I’ve only had a few opportunities to wear them, so this fall and winter I am very excited to build new outfits around them.

The nerdy writer in me is instantly in love with anything Oxford like. So when I spotted this cream-colored cableknit sweater with elbow patches, I knew I had to have it. Paired with black leggings and my combat boots, this outfit is the perfect blend of preppy badass.
