Velvet loafers have been popping up on a lot of fashion blogs lately. At first, I wasn’t interested, but they’re growing on me. Maybe I’ll buy a pair for casual autumn days, an alternative to ballet flats.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
I desperately wanted a pair last year andfor some reason it was SOOOO hard to get my hands on one that I liked. This year they are suddenly everywhere. Isn't it funny that when you desperately want something, you can't find it anywhere and as soon as you are over it there is no shortage of suitable alternatives.
Speaking of the Anniversary Sale – I just bought these: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-chaufur-flat/3326508?origin=keywordsearch&fashionColor=&resultback=800
Another great velvet loafer option!
I have liiiived in velvet loafers for the past two autumns. They look great with skirts and tights, jeans with no socks or thin black socks, or black pants. Classy flats!
This one is in between the staffer and intern price points and another great option.

I also felt very “eh” about velvet loafer but the more I see them the more I feel the need to purchase a pair for fall. I think I'll be picking up a pair at the Nordstrom sale this weekend.
Ok, I happened upon an absoloutely PRISTINE pair of Italian burgundy velvet loafers, not a single scratch on the sole (these babies were never worn outside)…for the princely sum of $4. Snapped them up since I saw them on your blog, but now I need ideas for outfits to wear with them!
