Three Different Ways to Style a Utility Jacket for Fall

No Comments

A utility jacket is a classic wardrobe staple. It can be worn in (almost) all seasons, depending where you live. I own a green one, which seems to be pretty classic, but they come in all sorts of great colors (I’m loving the burnt orange one from target!). I wear mine in spring, summer & fall & it is so versatile. I bought my jacket years ago, when I was still in college, from Old Navy. It has held up well for me and I will be linking similar options. Old Navy has a bunch of different green jackets in different styles including cropped, long, hooded, soft twill, & more utility-like materials. They also come in all sorts of colors & make me want to buy a new one in pink or gray! Ha!

I am styling my jacket three different ways. I hope that this will give you some inspiration for styling any style or color utility jacket you own! (I apologize in advance for my dusty mirror, I didn’t realize until after how absolutely dusty it was!)

  1. With stripes
    I feel like this is the most classic of all. Who doesn’t love a good army green color with stripes?! I paired it with my power straight jeans and my brown mules.

2. With a dress or a skirt
I loveeee a jacket with a skirt or dress. It gives it more casual vibes and keeps you warm. This skirt is new from Old Navy and I am in love with the print! I thought the green and the rust color of this skirt paired nicely together.

3. With leggings & a graphic tee
The most casual outfit of them all, but so very cute! You could also switch out regular leggings for a faux pair with booties just to step it up a bit. This casual graphic tee is the perfect color for fall & says “Talk Pumpkin Spice to me”.
My sneakers are sold out, unfortunately, but I will link some similar options.

1 Chunky Knit Cardigan Styled 3 Ways

No Comments

I know, I know, it’s only the first day of September and I’m already talking about cardigans, fall & boots, BUT I live in northern NY, and it’s felt like fall here for over a week now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure we’ll have another warm-up and I’ll be back in a swimsuit by next week, but if it feels like fall, I am DRESSING FOR FALL. Because honestly, fall is the best season to dress for (in my opinion ;)) and it doesn’t last long enough!

The cardigan I am styling is an oversized bobble sleeve cardigan from chicwish. I am wearing the xs/small and it fits large, but it is so cozy and well-made. It’s a heavy knit & is perfect for fall and winter if you live in a cold climate like I do!

All the links for my outfits will be at the bottom of this post.

I paired the cardigan with this boho blouse I recently got at target. I am obsessed with this blouse & will be wearing it constantly. I’m wearing my Just Black denim from my latest FlipFit box (more on that in my instagram highlights under Flipfit, if you’re interested!) and they are so good. I haven’t been able to find a link for them, but I will link a similar Target pair. My mules are also old, but I’m linking a great pair on sale for $30 from Nordstrom Rack.

Spoiler alert: this is my favorite outfit of this styling session. I love a dress with a cardigan and booties. I also love pairing black with brown to give it a warm feel! So cozy. Dress is old from Old Navy, but it’s such a classic Old Navy silhouette and I was able to find a similar one to link! Sock boots are also old, but I linked similar since they are everywhere right now too.

Final look is skinny jeans, perforated booties, and a gray tank with a lace neckline detail. I don’t wear skinny jeans that often right now (I find straight leg more comfortable) but I DO love skinnies with a chunky cardigan so I had to style this outfit!

Tell me your favorite outfit in the comments or over on my Instagram!

Collaboration, Style Sessions

Sawyer Laine Boutique

No Comments

Sawyer Laine Boutique (which is based out of Wellsville, NY) is a boutique that has the cutest boho inspired clothing! We recently collaborated & they sent me some items to style. It was so fun to style the items they picked out for me.

I am so grateful to partner with boutiques & smaller shops & do my part to support and promote small businesses!

I linked the items that are available, but things do sell out fast & they don’t restock often in order to ensure people get unique pieces. If you love something from this boutique, pick it up fast and use my code MARISSA15 for 15% off!

this pink utility romper is a gorgeous color and is silky and comfortable!
these acid wash shorts are so fun and totally 80’s! Unfortunately, they are sold out.
this bralette is sooo pretty & it is still available in the gray color. I love bralettes for under sweaters, tanks, and tees.
this floral skirt is perfect for fall and has a fun feature of suspenders. I’m not cool enough to wear those, but they would be super fun for a boho funky look. This skirt is sold out, but if it ends up coming back I will link it!
faux leather leggings are super trendy right now. I know that the Spanx ones are well-loved but they are pricey. These ones are high-waisted and feel so comfy! These are part of the fall release & are not available yet, but when they are I will link them!

Cream Wide Leg Pants

No Comments

Ok, so these pants are supposed to be “crops”, but I am 5’1″, so they’re more like just regular pants on me–haha! I like the length with heels, but I think I would want them to be more cropped when wearing flat shoes & sandals. I’m still on the fence about them for this very reason, but I decided to style the pants a few ways to see if I can make them work for me and my wardrobe. I do love the color of these pants–not a stark white, a cream. It goes well with lots of colors! (all links and similar items will be linked at the bottom of the post!)

This look is simple– a pretty pink ribbed tank paired with the pants, a rattan bag, and heels.

Who doesn’t love black and white together? This silky black top is from amazon and looks perfect knotted up with these pants.

I love a ruffle tank and knew this tan one would look perfectly monochromatic with these pants. Love it!

Of course I can’t do a styling session without adding in some orangey-yellow! This tee is old but I found one the exact same color and linked it from target! I also love these sparkly amazon sandals to add a little interest to the outfit!

This was one of my favorite looks, and also unfortunately the top is sold out from Maurices. I linked a few from amazon that looked similiar!

This all white look is so casual and chic. I think this tank is all sold out now from target, but I linked another silky tank from target and a cute cotton one from old navy!
