Amelia's "Basic" Jumper

 

Hi friends! I’m just going to pretend that we haven’t been MIA for the past five months (insert cheeky grin). 

Meet Amelia! A southern belle who can plate a table like the best of them and serve a dish to match the décor while dancing barefoot with a glass of bourbon to Ginuwine’s Pony.  It’s like Martha Stewart plus Betty Draper plus Leslie Knope all in one beautiful blonde package.  I visited Amelia in her new city of residence, Dallas, TX, for a mini post-birth mommy’s night out.  While packing for our night out on the town she suggested we partake in a Rubies-on-Vanilla styling session.  So we took her basic green jumper and styled it three different ways showing how versatile a perfect “basic” can be in any wardrobe.    

Paired with her “work” blazer, dressy heels and a statement necklace, the jumper is perfect for the workplace, a happy hour with friends or a date night with the hubs.  Dressed down a little with her long cardigan and flats, she can run errands or go on playdates with her babe, Knox, in style and comfort.  And finally paired perfectly for the state of Texas with cowboy boots and a beautiful shawl, handed down from her mother, Amelia’s ready to take on whatever the world throws her way. 

It’s good to be back friends!  And we have more to share soon.  I hope this little styling session inspires you to pull out a basic and pair it with bold accessories, jackets, cardigans, shawls, scarfs and, of course, a take-me-as-I-am attitude!
