The mixing of modern and romantic styling

11.03.18Ethical Brands, Fall Outfits2

Anything that gets you in touch with your child-like side is worth a second look. At least in my book.

Since moving to Dallas, and shifting my focus in my wardrobe from more of a capsule mindset to a mindset that is still thoughtful, but less restrictive, I have seen a more romantic side of myself come out.

I feel more inspired to create, dream, and simply just let myself try new things.

This has translated to a lot of different things for me, like asking less “how’s” in life and letting myself move forward without all of the steps laid out.

And as it would follow, I am starting to see it come through in the things I am drawn to in my wardrobe as well.

I find myself enamored with romantic silhouettes mixed with some of the modern minimal things that were heavily present in my (capsule) wardrobe before. It feels so good to be mixing the old with the new in the best ways.

To start this whole journey off right, I added a few blouses to my wardrobe from a brand called Dôen, that I have been following for several years now. They really play up the romantic styling, and definitely the romantic in me. Dôen also has a blend of what I’m calling “the pioneering woman” mixed with a vintage style that really resonates with me as well.

I hadn’t purchased from them until now because the price seemed out of reach for me personally, but I am so glad I saved and finally did because they have been worth every penny. It’s funny too because I paid for these tops by selling other clothes in my closet, which I’m excited to share more on later.

The cherry on top of it all is that they are an L.A. Based company that practices sustainability and that they are two of very few tops in my closet that really make me feel the internal change I have gone through externally.

Styling Notes || To still keep a little bit of modern edge to this outfit, I styled my top with one of my favorite cigarette pants, and a black pointed mule. I tend to like my Dôen tops styled with a dark or black denim, and paired with a platform, or pointed flat to keep a little bit of that minimal modern vibe I sometimes gravitate towards.

For waist definition, I went with a high rise denim and tucked in this very blousy peasant top, which really adds a good balance to the overall look, and proves that you don’t have to have all tight clothing to flatter a figure.Blouse (made responsibly) | Denim (made responsibly) | Mules | Coin necklace

I have always known how the internal changes we go through can affect our external, but the external things we gravitate towards can also inform us of what’s happening on the inside and that is so valuable as well if we choose to pay attention to it.

I’m fully embracing the romantic in me, and I hope you find your own childlike traits within yourself and let them come to life as well!

So much love,

Mary Beth

    Well written, insightful, and important takeaways for any age. I especially pondered the idea of what you gravitate toward says something about how your feeling inside. I never thought about in reverse like this. Thanks for sharing!

  • 7 years of a setting sun kind of love in you. It’s constant, faithful, secure, but ever changing in color and depth✨. I love you forever and always @dmrouth
  • Happy Friday Friends.✨Looking forward to our first full weekend home since December, where we will finally be able to take down the Christmas tree☺️. I know everyone else is well into their resolutions for the new year, but since we have been gone so much, February feels like my January and I have fully embraced that! Sharing my vision for 2021 personally and for my blog very soon, so keep your peeps open.✨✨✨
  • A collection of unedited sunsets from our Christmas in SoCal that I can’t stop dreaming about.✨Spending more time lately being thankful for the little things that inspire me. It’s always the little things ☺️. #nofilter #gratitude #neverstopexploring
  • Hello friends happy Monday! I’M BACK! And I’ve dusted off the ol’ blogging fingers to share a more personal look at what 2020 was for me.☺️ . I went through so much growth this past year personally (didn’t we all), and worked through old struggles of fear, and self doubt that surfaced from old childhood trauma. But I have come out stronger and more resolved to be the person I was created to be. . Opening up about that and a snap shot of the highs and lows of this past year on the blog. Link in bio to read
  • Challenge Accepted.✨To my fellow woman, you are beautiful because of... The abuse you endured that you do not let define you. The disease or condition you developed that you do not let control you. The scars you have from childbirth that you choose to see as a souvenir. The times you chose a kind word over a tearing down comment. The times you looked at her with admiration and did not question your own worth. The times you gave your body the care it needed instead of pouring from an empty cup. For the all times you loved when it
  • Now more than ever it remains my heart to support brands who stand for something, whether that be their ethics (how they treat people), sustainability (how they treat the earth), or ways that they choose to honor both through giving. ✨ . With that said I am elated to share this beauty of a watch with you by @nordgreenofficial who believes in “good health, a clean environment, and full education as a right for all.” With every watch purchased they give either 2 months of clean drinking water to one person in The Central African Republic, 1 month of education
  • Love is the driving force that promotes the deepest change. Love is what brings unity. Love changes us more than simply knowing something and acting on it. When you love someone you do everything you can to protect that person, see them grow, see them thrive. @rachel.cargle said it best when she said “action without empathy is simply performance”, and I believe empathy’s roots are in love. So I am praying, praying for greater love in my heart, and in every heart, a love that would drive us all to true sustained change and action on behalf of Black lives.
