I’m Seeing Red… In our Future

Awhile back we did an Instagram story asking whether you all wanted to see casual wear or work wear… and spoiler alert, you wanted both. Ha, so we’re going to keep doing what we’re doing, with the mix of both. If you have any feedback on what you’d like to see, as always please sound off in the comments or send us a DM on Instagram!

We had a non glamorous weekend but sometimes those are really needed to feel like life is under control! I ran errands with my husband all day Saturday and did some minor shopping, he ended up being the lucky one of the two of us! We found him some great brown boots that he’ll be able to rock with jeans, they’re like the men’s’ version of the women’s Chelsea boot. He looks super sharp in them!

Caitlin did some work and play. She ended up at the pool Saturday and got our favorite flavor of the day from Kopps, which made for the perfect Saturday. She and her roommate moonlight as photographers so they ended up taking some Senior pictures on Sunday morning. We both went and saw Crazy Rich Asians and gorged ourselves on popcorn. It was such a sweet movie, perfect for a girls date! We both read the book beforehand and as usual it always cool to see your visualizations come to life but they can’t ever fit in everything from the book into a movie. 

Back to our outfits, they both could be considered an in between casual and workwear, so basically a cop out of picking one or the other. We don’t know about you all but we’re usually bemoaning the lack of fancy events we can get dressed up to attend. Our version of Wisconsin is pretty casual, for social events we attend.

Caitlin found this romper, which we’ve showcased before here awhile back on Asos and we were both skeptical that it would fit. Thankfully, the sizing ended up being perfect! I actually tried it on as well and I love the length for myself. So it’s a total tall girl win. You need this  beautiful statement romper in your life! Plus you don’t have to worry about getting in and out of it for bathroom purposes, so no temporary dehydration here.

It’s worth mentioning again that while Asos has definitely stepped it up with their size prediction tool, their outlet only brands can be the rogue wild west. This happens to be one of them, Influence Tall and we usually order between a 10/12 and some of the outlet only options go up to size 10. You can imagine it’s a little tricky wanting to order an inexpensive option and hope that it will fit, when you’ve never dealt with that brand before. We will as always, keep you updated on our fails and wins with sizing.

My outfit can kind of be a wildcard. I ordered this bodysuit at the beginning of summer and took a chance with it not being tall sizing. I ended up trying a size bigger than normal and I probably could have stuck with regular sizing because the length is still plenty long. It was a final sale, and for under $10 I’m quite happy with it! I don’t mind it being looser than a normal bodysuit, because I feel like it makes it a bit more casual.

The shorts became a quick favorite of the summer. They hit the sweet spot 4 inch inseam and they are probably the most comfortable stretchy pair of shorts I own while still looking completely polished and put together. They have a side zip to keep the front streamlined, and the A-line cut helps give my thighs some breathing room.

We are both totally feeling red lately, and you can expect to see some more up on the blog soon! Ever since Caitlin wore this jumpsuit last pictured here, we have both been snatching up red when we can!
