I've worn this outfit a couple of times already.  What I usually do during the winter if I don't have a lot of time to think about what to wear in the morning or I'm in a rush, I just wear an all black outfit and a different coat or cardigan.  I also wear different accessories.  You can put together so many different looks with just a basic black t shirt and black pants or jeans.

Also, I'm wearing a new lipstick from Tarte.  I've never worn any of their products before but I really liked this color.  And I love that they're cruelty free.  I'm slowly transitioning and making sure all of my beauty purchases are vegan.

It's not every day that I wear an outfit like this.  Although it's super cute and retro, I find that it's also a little revealing for every day life in this small town.  I wore this outfit on the hottest day of the year.  The AC in my car wasn't working and I was stuck in traffic for almost an hour.  You guys, I felt like I was cooking inside of my car.  You can actually see beads of sweat on my upper lip if you look close enough in these photos lol.  That's how hot it was outside!  If you follow me on SnapChat, you know how much I love the heat...but this was just too much.  It was over 100 that day.  And probably much hotter inside my car.

I wish I could wear coordinates every day.  I'm actually really obsessed with them.  Right now I have over 10.  My infatuation with matching co-ords is getting a little out of hand.  This I know.

Do you ever wear something you thought was so cute you couldn't wait to take photos with it?  And then you look at them and realize that what you thought was a cute outfit wasn't so cute after all?  Sometimes what we wear doesn't translate very well on the camera.  This is what happened to this outfit.  I absolutely love this pinafore.  I think it's adorable, fun, and such a cute throwback to the 90s.   I can't say enough good things about this piece.  It's comfortable, soft, and everything I want to wear when I just want to relax.  But for some reason the camera doesn't seem to agree with me.  It looks better in person, I promise :)

What made me want to buy this jumpsuit (or romper...or pinafore lol) in the first place is a photo I came across.  It's an old photo of my mom in the early 90s wearing a corduroy pinafore jumpsuit.  It was a dusty sky blue color.  She wore a dark blue floral print turtleneck underneath.  That outfit looked so good on her!  I knew at that point I had to get my hands on something similar.  Topshop had a few cordury pinafore jumpsuits last year, but unfortunately I missed out.  Lucky for me, no one seemed to be buying this one in my size...so I snagged it.

What do you guys think of this pinafore?  I totally get why some women hate them.  They can look frumpy.  But layer it up right and you've got a perfect outfit to wear for the weekend.
