what I wore
It’s what I wore today? Really? That was fast.
1. shirt: Old Navy, necklace: hmmm … maybe Target?, jeans: Seven {flare}, shoes: Nordstrom
2. sweater: Gap, scarf: Target, jeans: Banana Republic {wide leg}, shoes: Nordstrom
3. jacket: Banana Republic, shirt: Target, Jeans: Citizens of Humanity {ingrid}
4. sweater: Old Navy, tank: Target, jeans: Seven {flare}, shoes: Nine West
I tried to follow these fun directions on how to do messy hair and mine just turned out looking like Heidi braids. Oh well, I tried.
5. shirt: Martin + Osa, jeans: Seven {dojo}. How is that for the world’s most boring outfit?
6. dress: Banana, boots: Target, necklace: Kukui nut beads from Hawaii. Can you tell I had somewhere to go on this day? Just bible study, but it gives me a reason to wear something fun. I like wearing dresses. I’ve been limited by the fact that breastfeeding while wearing a dress is not so practical {unless you don’t mind hiking up the whole dress}. But that phase of life is coming to an end {tear} so hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the near future. I’ve been looking for good flat boots to wear with skirts and dresses like Kasey wears and have come up short. Actually, I’m sure Anthropologie has some fabulous ones, but I’m holding out for fabulous and inexpensive {at least not nearly a month’s worth of groceries – I’m far too hard on my shoes to pay that much – and I’m pretty sure my family prefers to eat over seeing me in cute boots}. Anyway, dresses are fun.

Love the Banana Republic jacket! Cute looks! Janell

You’re so cute.
I know what you mean about the flat boots. I have the perfect ones in my mind, but I haven’t been able to find them at any price. Not that I would pay “any price!” Thanks for sharing your daily style. It helps motivate me to get out of my pajamas! 
Christi
I love your blog!
Jill at goodlife(orless) posted these boots the other day. May be an option for you? http://goodlifeforless.blogspot.com/2010/10/dangerous-territory.html
JCPenney also has some great flat boots. p.s. They have an awesome sale going on now too! http://www.jcpenney.com

Your style is such an inspiration! How do you manage to look so cute every day with 4 kids to boot? Speaking of boots, I’ve been very impressed with the boots at Target this year. I’ve been looking for some flat boots, too, and they have one pair that might be the ones. And I love your dress in #6!

I too have been recently liberated to finally wear dresses again! And it feels like it’s just in time for so many cute styles – very fun.

I just bought some flat Steve Madden boots (inka) at Macy’s. It’s not quite boot weather here yet but once it is I’ll be ready!
Natalie Soares
I love your boots pictured in #6! I can’t believe they are from Target!
Tara
Darling, love them all! you look very cute in your dress and boots!
Meghan Beck
I love your outfits. And I must say, I covet your legs. At 5′ 4, I always feel stumpy. Your legs are amazing

Love the yellow striped sweater with the polka dot scarf. Perfection.
I, too, covet your body type. I’m only 5’2″ and sometimes think – if I just had those jeans, I’d look like that. But I have to remind myself: Nope!
Lauren
I love all of these adorable outfits… yes, such great inspiration. I also wanted to recommend the Steve Madden’s. They are more affordable than Frye’s with a cute slight wedge heel (check out one of Erika’s recent posts on her Urban Grace blog)– Inka & Intyce are 2 great styles.
emily
I saw those on Erika’s site. Then forgot about them … just looked them up and I think those would do the trick! Thanks for the tip
Gina
I love that dress! I am hard on my shoes too, but I am holding out for a pair from Anthro this season…praying for a sale or a birthday gift card! Have a great weekend!
Amanda M.
I have that Old Navy black top in pic #1 and I LOVE it. I find the top to be extremely versatile.
You look fab as always!
Kris10
You are so perfectly styled! Can I please come raid your closet?

I am esspecially smitten with your striped yellow sweater and polka doted scarf combo. Perfection! I even went to the site to see if they still had it…alas, they do not.

Hey Emily, I thought you might like these boots since you’re on the lookout for a great pair of flat leather boots. I tried these on and LOVE them. I’m planning on buying them soon. They’re not “Target” priced but they aren’t crazy expensive either. Here’s the link http://www.zappos.com/steven-intyce-cognac-leather
emily
Thanks Jen. I’m thinking those are the ones …

I bought a pair last year at Target(“Kady” boots) that are almost identical to the ones in the link above. I dont think T carries them this year but you could always scour Ebay. Mine were $24.99 if I remember correctly. Im sure theyre not close in quality to the ones above but the price tag was more in my budget:) Happy Shopping!

This is for sure one of my favorite features you do, you have great style and how is it possible you just had a baby?? I recently bought a pair of flat boots from DSW and they were under $100.00!! I love that gray dress with the brown accents!! So pretty!
Stephanie
If you haven’t already bought a pair I have a suggestion! It doesn’t matter where you buy your shoes or how comfortable they are as long as you have inserts for your soles. You can buy them at any shoe store and put them in pretty much any shoe. I buy tons of shoes at cheapo stores that most people avoid due to comfort. Spenco Polysorb Walker Runner are my favorite kind. Hope that helps!

LOVE the BR jacket and the dress w/ boots!
Chrystal
P.S.-your yellow & white striped shirt was the inspiration for the new curtains in my living room. Though I may have picked this in the end, just seeing it in real life instead of just in my head sealed the deal. Thanks!
amber
