Winter Uniform

Regan here! Let me first say that the photos below are not super realistic. I’m usually NOT this casual, cool and collected heading out the door when I leave the house (obviously). More like, 40 lb. diaper bag around one arm, 25 pound toddler on the other, and a handful of whatever else I can possibly carry anytime I have to venture out of the house. I know any mom can relate!

It’s pretty rare that I get dressed up in a cute outfit during the week. I usually rotate between the several colors of my favorite Madewell tee that I have, front tucked in to some high waisted jeans and call it good. Luckily, THIS COAT is a new favorite of mine, and throwing it over any outfit makes me look totally put together.

This coat has also made winter more bearable because it’s super warm! Random side note…my first couple years living in Utah were kind of miserable. I haaated it here and was determined to move back to California ASAP. Well…over eight years later and I’m still here! Utah has grown on me though. I think moving from our small, dark apartment that we lived in our first few years, and now having a home where we get natural light and can have plants in every corner giving off oxygen has made all the difference. I am still determined to move back to California, but Utah is not as awful as I used to think it was! Cute coats and booties also help 😉

 There are a few staple items we think every woman needs in her closet this season. These are items that are versatile, and can be worn in lots of different ways. The chambray shirt from our recent post is a great example. 

We'll be doing a mini-series on Salty Blondes, where we'll share all of OUR favorite essential items. Here are our first four:

1. A neutral, olive jacket. This color is great because it goes with almost anything. Wear it with motto skinnies, a feminine maxi, or denim as seen here. It's pretty much the perfect topper for everything!

2. Floral skinnies. These may not seem like an essential to most, but for us they are for sure! They look cute with a casual graphic, front tucked tee, OR dressed up a little with a heeled bootie and a more formal tunic or blouse. Plus, pull any color from the pant to tie in shoes, a top, or the perfect accessory. 

3. A neutral color hat or beanie. For those days when you're hair just isn't your friend, add a beanie that goes with anything. We love this one by Michael Kors!

4. A nice, neutral bag. If you're going to spend the money on one expensive bag, make sure it's a neutral color that goes with everything.  And let's be honest, everyone needs a Marc by Marc in their closet ;)


Stay tuned for Volume 2, coming soon!
