The Right... Weekend Exploring Look

I'm really excited to share my first outfit from our trip to Lexington!  I'm working on a full recap post (including our amazing Bourbon Trail adventures and alllll the great food we ate) but first up is what I wore for a morning of exploring the city.  I had an 11 mile run scheduled that weekend so while I did my grand tour around UK (literally loops and loops around the UK campus and the arboretum) Jackie, Jen and James found a new coffee shop and took blog pics near the super cute Gratz Park area.  And since they're such good friends, they took me back so I could snap my outfit before brunch (I was also secretly letting them scope it out first ;) ).  Gratz Park is a cute little area of town which reminded us a lot of Washington Square Park with the old architecture.

I decided to rock my sneakers that morning because #LongTrainingRun and I have to admit, this outfit has me really excited to wear them more this fall.  Since I wear heels so much more during the week at work, I need to save my feet every chance I get (especially after pounding out double digit runs!).

The Right... Weekend Essentials

J.Crew Factory Popover, Gap Skinny Jeans, Nine West Sandals, Old Navy Reversible Tote

There's something really great about an easy popover and jean combo for weekend adventures.  I went to Queens to hang out with Megan and couple of weeks ago and luckily it will still cool enough to wear long pants.  
This past weekend in the city was brutal though - it went from 60s to 90s and was almost unbearable!  It still ended up being a great Memorial Day weekend but I'm definitely switching out the jeans for shorts for the rest of the season!

The Right... Spring Jumpsuit

Yesterday was definitely one of those "I f*cking love New York City" days.  Sorry for the f-bomb but I got so overwhelmed by emotions during my run and it all kinda came to the surface.  I had a beautiful 5 mile run through the park - the sunset was beautiful, I ran past a group of kids clearly plotting a super cute encounter holding flowers and a lit up sign that said "prom?" and the park just smelled so beautiful.  Seriously.Smelled.Beautiful.  (I promise that's a thing)


I often have up and down days but lately it's really felt like I've totally hit my stride and like all of my hard work is really getting me somewhere.  I also feel like I'm so often pushed to my limits that I really get pushed out of my comfort zone and it's great.  Stressful at times but really great.

With all that said, I just wanted to drop in and thank you all for humoring me and following along this little corner of the internet.  And to encourage you to do things regularly that scare you or push you outside your comfort zone.  Your future self with thank you, I'm almost sure of it.
And on to the real reason why I'm posting today - this cutout culotte jumpsuit.  It's basically got me like [insert salsa dancer emoji here].  The cutout at the top is great and the roomy culotte bottom is awesome.  Will be on heavy rotation through summer.

The Right... Winter Basics

   

ASOS Faux Fur Snood, Necessary Clothing Tunic (c/o), Old Navy Rockstar Jeans (c/o), Hush Puppies Booties (c/o), Old Navy Reversible Tote (c/o)

There's something really refreshing about a simple winter outfit - swingy tunics, booties and faux fur just scream weekend to me.  For a while I found myself overthinking my weekend outfits but lately I've tried to keep things toned down and simple.     Shoutout to Hush Puppies for making the most comfortable booties on the planet - I really feel like I can wear these forever (including to brunch, wandering new neighborhoods, museums or wherever my weekend adventures take me)!   Get the look:

The Right... Fall Riding Boots

Ok, it's official.  I've finally surfaced from my big work event, marathon cloud and am finally feeling human again.  And kind of with it.  But only kinda.  Because now I can finally get excited about my next big adventure: E-U-R-O-P-E!!!!!!!!  I've kept the trip a little hush by accident because I've just been so busy with everything else I couldn't really focus on it.  But I head off to Paris, Florence and Milan next Thursday and I'll be gone for 9 days!  Any suggestions are welcome, I'm working on finalizing my lists now!  
  In today's post I wanted to share two of my latest can't live without items for fall: the perfect wide-calf riding boots and this blanket scarf.  First the boots - I know I've preached to you about how wide my calves are but it really was getting to be an issue when finding boots.  Then during all the David Bromstad for Naturalizer excitement, I was browsing the site and realized they offer wide calf in almost all of their boots.  When I had the chance to test drive them, I instantly fell in love.  The leather is gorgeous, they are beyond comfortable and they fit amazing (you can't really tell they are wide calf unlike some other wide calf boots I've found).  Second, this blanket scarf.  I stumbled upon this poncho/scarf at Uniqlo when searching for some ultra light weight down for morning workouts (blue vest pictured) and for a mere $20, I found the one thing I literally can't stop wearing.  At the office, on the weekends, at home.  Everywhere.  It's so soft and cozy and extremely versatile.  There's a good possibility both will make it into my suitcase for Europe...

The Right... #FBF

I have to admit, as excited as I am that it's a long weekend and I have many adventures ahead, I'm also pretty devastated that summer is "over."  Who's with me on this one?  I think it went by way too fast!  

If you aren't already, follow along on Instagram and Twitter for all my adventures (I'll give you a hint: it involves a lot of traveling and a lot of horses) and I can't wait to keep up with yours! 

And before we head off into the fun, I'm flashing it back with some more photos from the most epic weekend of the summer - Fourth of July at Lake Schroon.  Pardon the wrinkles - you don't quite worry about that when you're not planning on leaving the beach for the weekend!  See you on Tuesday dolls!

The Right... Go-To August Outfit

I'm super excited to join Jackie and Taylor in their monthly go-to posts!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what I have on repeat each month and sharing it with you.  







I snatched up this lace tank during one of the J. Crew sales earlier this summer and I have worn it nonstop since after the Fourth of July.  It's just SO good and goes with everything.  It's easy to dress up for the office or dress it down for a weekend in the 'burbs (as seen here).
