SPRING TREND: 1 TURTLENECK, 3 WAYS

Reading:

A simple black turtleneck bodysuit is my new favorite article of clothing I own.

This basic outfit centerpiece is anything but basic and is the perfect garment for any lazy lady who’s still trying to look like she has it somewhat together. I know that sounds like a big ask from a piece of clothing but I’m not exaggerating. I can be in sweats all day with hair gone wild and I put this thing on with pretty much anything else in my closet and I feel instantly chic and ready to venture out into the world outside my baby bubble. I’m calling it a “Spring Trend” because I intend to wear it tirelessly throughout the coming season but really, it’s perfectly appropriate and timeless for 3/4 of the year, year after year after year so do yourself a favor and invest in this baby for your Spring lineup!

OUTFIT 1: Anytime Casual Chic

For my first look, I kept it super simple with a pair of distressed, high-waisted, not-too-relaxed boyfriend/mom jeans. I LOVE this fit for this style of jeans because it’s super flattering but still gives off that effortless look that I want from a pair of ripped boyfriend/mom jeans. I accentuated my waist with a beautiful western belt and finished it off with a chic pair of black boots that have enough of a heel to elongate my legs and give me a bit of a strut but not so much of a heel that I’d be wobbling and unconfident whilst holding a baby. #momlife is all about balance!

OUTFIT 2: Daytime Cute

This kind of outfit is perfect for meetings or lunch with friends. I’m a sucker for print on print but you can keep the top or bottom more simple if it’s too busy for your taste. A super lightweight blazer or kimono is always a fun way to add instant style to a basic piece like this turtleneck. Since I’m layering and covered up top, I opted for shorts on bottom to show off a little skin. Stuck with the same boots because they literally go with everything!

OUTFIT 3: Girl On The Town

This could be my favorite turtleneck look because while layering under dresses is definitely on trend, it still feels unexpected and therefore, super stylish. I love a turtleneck under a slip dress like this leopard print one because it’s a style juxtaposition that works so effortlessly together. I added a grommeted, chunky belt to accentuate my waist and add another little flash of style but again, kept the same boots because again, they go with everything!

Since Bowie was born I've been more motivated than ever to show up as the best version of me and also share the experiences of those who have a new perspective to share that could make us all better people. So with that, here's a space for you to learn, explore, and sit beside me as I navigate this world through this new lens. 

Content Creator. Mama to Bowie. Wife to Josh. Straight Talker. DIY'er. You may also know me from my roles in 90210 and Degrassi. 

Motherhood does a great job at putting a mirror up to you in the form of a child and because of that I've found myself gravitating toward spaces where I can learn and evolve as a person.
