What?! Two looks in one post?! YES. And there’s leopard.

This leopard-print pajama-style blouse is another recent purchase from the French sustainable brand Balzac Paris (check out my earlier review here). I didn’t wear it 2 days in a row, but I did wear it twice within a couple weeks, happened to get photos of both outfits, so I figured why not post both looks together?

This way you get to see how versatile it is. You can wear it with jeans, or…with different jeans.

But you must admit – other than the denim, these are two very different outfits. One I wore to work (casual Friday), and the other I wore to play outside at the zoo. Option 1: concrete jungle. Option 2: actual jungle.

The wide leg jeans are from Madewell, and even though I don’t shop there much anymore since resolving to be more eco-friendly, I still say buy any jeans you really love, and then wear them enough to make it worth the buy.

These Stuart Weitzman pumps, on the other hand, I scored secondhand for twenty-six dollars. If you’re less patient and have money to spare, check out these.

And there you have it. One shirt, two (sort of similar) ways.

It’s hard to believe I was walking around with bare legs only 10 days ago, and now I’m trying to get my pipes to unfreeze and crossing my fingers my car will start in the morning. Ugh. Well, I’ll have plenty of time to think about cold weather because it’s going to be in the teens and below all week. So instead let’s just relive this lovely day in North Carolina, which just happened to be my mom’s birthday.

Birthday girls get to pick the activities, and here’s what my mom came up with: Seeing a fashion exhibit at the NC Museum of Art (which I highly recommend if you’re in the Raleigh area), eating brunch, having drinks at home on the deck, taking a nap, then having a pajama party complete with Netflix binging (season 2 of The Crown), cauliflower crust pizza (made from scratch by me and my dad), cake pops, and champagne.

I mean, it was basically my dream birthday. They make those quizzes that tell you what age you “really” are, but I don’t need to take one because now I know I’m 67. Don’t I look amazing though?
