Plaid Perfection

February 16, 2022February 15, 2022 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

Introducing another Spanish line I love, The Label Edition! I don’t know about you, but I get tired of seeing the same ol’ things online and at every store. This line offers special pieces that I’ve been on the hunt for – mainly tops with interesting details. I’ve linked their website above, so that you can see all that they have to offer! I tucked this top into my go-to pair of distressed jeans and added a Chelsea boot and of course, a fun earring and headband. I can’t wait to style this top with white jeans and an espadrille in the spring. When I shop, I focus on buying pieces that I can get a lot of wear out of, and this top has definitely accomplished that.

Thanks for stopping by, friends! XO, Mary Sanford

Croc Embossed Booties

I’ve loved seeing the way other stylists and bloggers have worn pointed toe booties this season, so I decided to incorporate a pair into my wardrobe. The rich brown/caramel color goes with almost everything and the heel height is perfect for all day wear. I can’t wait to wear these booties with all black, pleated midi skirts, my go-to skinnies and more! Stay tuned for more ways to wear them!

I bought this coat about a month ago in Chicago when I didn’t have anything warm enough for the 8 degree weather. Now it’s become useful in Dallas with these chilly temps! This is one of the coziest pieces I own, and now you can get it on sale when you click the link above! As spring inventory arrives in stores and online, you’ll be able to find more and more coats on sale. Now is the time to buy!

Straw + Plaid

I guess this is typically a farmer’s favorite combo, but here I am wearing it! You already know how much I love plaid blouses, but I’m pairing it with one of the season’s hottest trends. Straw bags are all the rage, and Etsy is a great place to find them. Click HERE for many great woven bags of all sizes!

Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to share with a friend!

Too Much Green?

At first glance, I wasn’t sure if the greens would be too harsh of a combo. I decided to go for it with the addition of a neutral shoe, my silver sneakers. The front tuck showed off the detail in the pants and gave me somewhat of a feminine silhouette.

I’ve noticed myself being drawn to green more and more. After buying only blue clothes it seemed for the longest time, it was a nice transition. Hunter, emerald, olive… You name it, I’m trying it.

Happy Monday, and thanks for stopping by!
