Family Heirloom




Wearing:
Coat - Vintage, Hat - Vintage, Jeans - Topshop Mom Jeans, Blouse - Zara, Shoes - DSW

Isn't great when you find family heirlooms?  I was getting dressed yesterday when I found this brown, suede coat that belonged to my grandma in the 1970s.  It's amazingly on trend, and I didn't even know we had it!  After finding this coat, I grabbed this wide-brimmed fedora that also belonged to my grandma, and what do you know?  A modern look created vintage pieces!

WhoWhatWear for Target






I love it when Target does these special collections.  Usually I like to go on the day it drops so I have the most selection.  However, this time I completely forgot about this collection.  Maybe it was because of my travels from earlier or because of how busy I am with school, but the other day I was just walking through Target and noticed the display.  Lately it seems like a lot of Target's collections have been selling quickly, so I was surprised when they still had a ton of merchandise left.  This is one of the few advantages to living in a non-fashion oriented town because these collections never sell out.  They had a ton of great pieces, but ultimately I decided to go with just these two pieces.  Clearly I have a thing for black and white and stripes, but that's not really a surprise, is it?  The white and black blouse reminds me of a mix between 1970s and 1830s; an odd combination of eras, but that's truly what it reminds me of.  And the dress is actually has an asymmetrical hemline, even though it's kind of hard to tell here.  I'm really excited to start wearing both pieces because it's actually starting to feel like spring here.  You'll be seeing both of these pieces again very soon.

Trends My Mom Hates: Mom Jeans





Wearing:
Jeans - Topshop Mom Jeans, Jacket - Kohls, Blouse - Forever 21, Sneakers - Adidas, Bag - Oasis
Lipstick - L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss in Statement Nude 316

Trends my mom hates strikes again!  If you don't remember, I started this tag a few months ago with this culottes post.  Well this time it's, ironically, mom jeans.  Thanks to other blogs, pinterest, and instagram, I've been eyeing this trend.  So many people are able to pull them off so well, that I gave in and asked for them for my birthday.  My mom was ambivalent, but luckily she's too nice to say that she doesn't like them.  But after knowing her for so long, though, I can tell these definitely aren't her favorite jeans, even if she won't say it directly.
Since the snow is already gone (but I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be coming back), I wanted to take advantage of it and wear my Adidas and a leather jacket, instead of boots and a heavier coat.  To keep the look rather classic, I went with a white button up half tucked in.  I also decided to switch  to my new tote bag that I bought in London because I liked the combination of the suede with the leather jacket.

Year Three




Wearing:
Coat - Target, Skirt - Zara, Shirt - Forever 21, Boots - Candie's, Purse - Clarks

Today is the three year anniversary of Rockin' the Rockies Style!  To celebrate, I splurged and finally bought a professional template!  I've been eyeing templates from Pipdig for a long time now, so I've decided that I would get it for today!  I hope everyone likes the change!
To celebrate the anniversary, I knew that I couldn't take pictures at my usual shoot location.  Instead I ventured downtown to a parking garage which I think has a rather urban feel.  For the look, I've been wanting to wear this skirt that I bought in Seattle for months, and it's only recently been warm enough to wear it.  I paired it with a no fail grey turtleneck and my new favorite faux-shearling coat.
I'm so happy that I've made it to three years of blogging.  I have a lot coming up for me this year - finishing my first year at university, two weddings, and a good chance of moving - but I'm going to continue blogging through it.  Thanks for staying with me!
