My Basic Style Go To's

My Basic Style Go To's

April 13, 2018

Fashion has always been a love of mine and not because I am some sort of renowned "fashionista," actually, I can't stand to wear anything that makes me want to take it off the minute I step foot in my house. I just like good ol' classic (and cheap) pieces that I will wear rain or shine but that I feel confident and beautiful in. It's quite basic really, both literally and figuratively. When I'm shopping I always gravitate to the super trendy, eye catching pieces that are "oh so adorable" but then I ask myself...

How often will I really wear this? Is it appropriate for multiple occasions? Is it practical? And is it affordable? 

If I answered yes to all these questions then most likely I will purchase that item. If not, then I take that as a sign that I can definitely be content living without this item. 

This (pictured above) is actually one of my go-to outfits. It's basic, it's comfy, it's stylish, and it's affordable. Plus, I can mix and match all of these pieces with other items in my closet, allowing me to wear and re-wear everything seamlessly. 

These Urban Outfitter jeans I wear almost everyday and they were only $69! I actually love that they aren't super stretchy. Don't get me wrong I love a good stretch in my jeans but I've found that over time those jeans don't hold up as long, and they take so many washes to get them fitting the way they did when I first bought them. I'm such a low maintenance jean owner that I have to go with what's gonna get me by the longest :) 

And these faux suède slip on flats from Target are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They never gave me a blister, or aggravation! I call that a #WIN. And I also wear them with soooo many pieces in my closet. 

This waffle knit long sleeve tee is also from Target but I couldn't find it online anymore (I actually found it in the pajama section) but it is as basic as they come and super comfortable! I found a similar one at Urban Outfitters for triple the price. And I've linked it just to show you the material. You can't beat Target and I'm so sad I can't find it!. 

You can shop the full look below! Happy Spring & don't be afraid to ask a question in the comments section below! 

As always, thanks for stopping by! xoxo, Tessa

Workout 3 is live! Sharing my favorite at home arm workout! LINK in BIO! This completes my 3 part series, let me  know what other fitness type blogs you’d like to see in the future! So this is what my bath time has turned into...I don’t even care about it! I’ll take one child in my bath if that means the other two are playing quietly together! 🙌🏼 #perspective Working with this man is such an incredible dream; I read in my devotional this morning that in our life we will enter into covenant relationships (not just marriage; friendships, co-workers, business partnerships, etc) and our dreams will often come through those relationships. Because when we are connected to another person in that way, what’s available to them, now becomes available to YOU. And now instead of just one person carrying this dream, the dream is being carried together, allowing the weight to be distributed. Isn’t that so beautiful!? I read that and was so inspired to have the opportunity to be in such a beautiful partnership with this man and dream alongside him everyday. Do you feel like you’re in a covenant relationship with someone that has sparked a new dream in you? When any sort of competition is happening around here you better believe I’ve got my game face on. Oh the perks of having two D1 athletes as parents...our kids don’t stand a chance 😩 God help us all! Raise your hand if you love a good “basic outfit” 🙋🏻‍♀️ sharing one of my go to outfits and favorite denim over on the blog 👉🏼 LINK IN BIO. If you’re a bargain shopper and need some “realistic” mom fashion this is for you! “Sisters, sisters...there were never such devoted sisters” ❤️ these girls have my whole heart. Wanting to jump on here and do a quick introduction (even tho it’s not technically #fridayintroductions). I see so many new faces on here daily I wanted to take a moment to share 5 incredibly vulnerable facts about me so you can maybe feel free to do the same!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. When I was little I can remember that I wanted to be (in this order) an artist, author, veterinarian (I secretly love animals and birds), clothes designer, and teacher. It’s strange cuz I can see pieces of my life still centered around those professions. 
2. I’ve always been a rather confident person but never realized how truly insecure I was until I started having kids. 
3. And crazy thing is...3 kids down and I feel more beautiful than I’ve felt in my entire life. Motherhood has given me such a distinct sense of purpose, inspiration, and direction. 
4. If you’re into personality tests, I recently took the enneagram test and am a type 3w4...my husband is a 3w2. It weirdly describes our dynamic to a “t.” 😱
5. It’s my dream to do interior design/flip homes half the year and have a home somewhere warm where we’d stay the second half of the year. 🌞
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s a little bit about me! Tell me something that feels rather vulnerable
about yourself. I promise it will feel so freeing! HOLY swimsuit season am I right?! I finally found a one piece I feel sexy in and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! I’ve been busting my butt to tone up before our big trip to Mexico (check out my last post for my favorite at home workout routines) and this suit makes it all worth it! Shop the suit and the rest of this summer ready outfit here 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2vjwS #liketkit @liketoknow.it  P.S I sized up! Workout 2 is live on the blog...CARDIO BOOST! Link In Bio! If you missed it I am doing a 3 part fitness series featuring some of my favorite at home  workout routines. Video included! Go check it out! This is what our @target bathroom party looks like 💦 and Eliza always doing something weird like trying to “eat” the hot air 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
