#OOTD September

-
So I've had questions about where I shop, not just for pants or shoes, so I thought I would pick up my outfit of the day post for my last few pictures I posted.


Universal Threads by Target top.  It's on clearance now and when I bought it Cartwheel had an extra 20% off!  This is a summer top, but can for sure transfer into winter with a jacket or sweater over it.

The jeans are GAP Mid-Rise Jeggings.  They are over 3 years old, but can still be found at GAP Factory.  I love them, because they come in Ankle, Regular and Tall sizes (I need tall.)  They have stood the test of time.


My shoe is the Franco Sarto Simone Loafer, while it's no longer being sold there are similar styles at DSW like: Susie Loafer, Gracie Loafter, Scranton Flat & Germina Loafer.  **Head up I did size up two sizes for my loafer since the toe was very pointed.



Old Black t-shirt that I love!  They don't carry it anymore, but my new black favorite tee is the Modal Jersey V-neck Tee by Halogen.  It goes on sale during Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  I love it, because I can throw it on and it just fits right and hold up under the billion washes it gets.

 GAP Mid-Rise Jeggings.  Mine are probably at least 3 years old and are just starting to look a little more charcoal than black, but that's because they are my go to pair of jeans.  They feel like leggings, but have a jean look.  Bonus they come in Ankle, Regular and Tall sizes!

Probably one of my favorite find are these booties from Target, the  Wenda Cut Out Booties by Universal Threads  My favorite Brand Free People have a similar show that is about $170 more!  The best part is they come in wide widths online!


I have to give a shout out to Macy's for carrying Free People, because we all know Macy's has 24/7 sales!  That used to be out joke growing up "hey did you hear Macy's is having a sale."  Followed by the sarcastic "no way?!"  Well thankfully for Macy's awesome sales I treated myself to this little t-shirt.  See in the Pacific NW we have things like "dressy t-shirts" and "dressy sneakers."  Where you can go to an amazing restaurant and see anything from a couple dawning a suit and full length dress to hoodies, cargo shorts and Birkenstocks . . .with sock of course!  Back to my shirt-Free People Alex Cold Shoulder Shirt. 

 I've had a lot of people ask me about my jacket.  Spoiler alert if faux leather!  Good and bad news.  Bad, this jacket is no longer on sale, good news almost every size is in stock right now!  It's the Levi's Faux Leather Moto Jacket.  I know, I know moto again.

 The jeans again are my black GAP Mid-Rise Jeggings.



Same jacket as above Levi's Faux Leather Moto Jacket. 

This is dress I got for a steal on clearance.  You can still find major sales on it if you google it, but where it's in stock in all sizes is Lord & Taylor.  It's Free People's Garden Maxi Dress.  It came in many colors, I purchased the black one so I could take it into fall as well.

Shoes are my new faves from Target the Wenda Cut Out Booties by Universal Threads.







 
Again my top is FreePeople.  It's one of their basics that they have brought back this year as well.  It's their January Tee, I got mine on Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but they still have it, this color is ON SALE!  Check out Macy's when they have sales, you might be able to score it there as well.  But I feel like at any price it's worth it, it's one of my go to tops.

Jeggings are from my last blog post "Loving Life In Another HUE."  It's the HUE Moto Leggings at Nordstrom Rack.

My shoes are my favorite Nike Frees!  Everyone needs a simple black Nike shoe.  It's like the equal to having a Little Black Dress for your foot.

A leg by any other name would be as big.

I guess it's time to introduce Bertha, my previous post might make a little more sense.  Some women name their boobs, I name my legs.  My skinny "normal" leg is Tiffany who I imagine would be a cheerleader and a runner.  And then there is my lymphedema leg Bertha, who bakes likes science.  Ok I know that is so stereotypical, but it's makes me laugh and makes other people feel awkward.  I mean they named a golf club "Big Bertha" so really I'm just following suit.  Bertha has been with me since 2007 and isn't going away anytime soon, so it was only proper she be named.  We have a love hate relationship, but in the end she is a big part of my life and according to my husband "his favorite leg in the world."  Yes you can "awwww" now.  And yes I hit the jackpot with him.  XOXO-Allie

Loving Life In Wide Width Winter Boots

Winter in the PNW means rain, rain, a randomlly sunny day that is like 70 degrees, followed by-you guessed it rain.  Where I live in Oregon we do have some light dustings of snow and every 2-3 years it "dumps snow" which means a couple of inches.  Basically the whole city shuts down when this happens and we all hunker in for the 1-2 days it last.  It's the one time a year I love our steep driveway, it's the best sledding hill!  Winter and rain boots has been one of the most difficult items to find that fit Bertha .  Here are a few style I found that should work for us Lymphies and Lippys. xo-Allie Sorel Out and About Waterproof Bootie Living in Oregon and as a soccer Mom I need a good basic boot to keep Bertha dry.  I especially like these boots, because they are lace up, so you can adjust them if you only have one "Lymphie foot."  This is the boot I've had for the past few years.  I read reviews and decided to size up 2 sizes to a 12 and I'm glad I

Ode to Birkenstocks

So when I was 19 and had no clue what real life was.  My 3 guys friends and I (I should note I was a tomboy not a floozy) headed to the beach for a day of relaxing, because that's what every 19 years old needs, right?!  We walked by a Birkenstocks store and I said to one of them, "I remember those, I think I want to get a pair!"  The goof of our group, not hearing my previous comment pointed at the store. "Birkenstocks!  Hippy shoes!" For fear I would be excommunicated from our group-ok maybe that's too dramatic.  For fear of being made fun of, I quietly walked passed the store with only the longing of Birkenstocks in my heart, not on my feet.  Oh 19 year old me, if I only knew being made fun of for shoes would be the least of my worries in life.  One of those three guys in now my husband and was sure to remind me of that day when I purchased my Birks. But seriously, how awesome is it that Birkenstocks have some back into style!  Or maybe they never left?
