Winter Botanicals

February 3, 2019 by The Partial Ingredients

It has warmed up quite a lot here and it’s starting to feel a little like Spring! Which is crazy to say in February but I guess Colorado has a different idea of what Winter is. It’s still pretty likely we will get a ton of snow in March, so you never know what the mountains have in store! For those who read this blog you probably know that I love vintage botanical prints. I was recently gifted this lovely botanical print tee made by an Etsy shop. I love supporting small sellers on Etsy, plus they make some pretty awesome stuff! This tee features a Xeranthemum Annuum, also known as the Annual Everlasting or Immortelle flower. Pretty cool right? I love the Spring vibes and the vintage feel of the print.

I wanted to feature a cozy layering outfit perfect for in-between seasons (or if your climate is just confused right now). This cardigan from American Eagle is a great convertible piece because it’s half-cardigan, half top. You can button this up and tie it at the waist, or you can wear it as a regular cardigan. Gotta love those versatile pieces! I’m pretty in love with the rosy berry color combined with the neutral greys and tans. These grey corduroy pants from Adriano Goldschmied are great for Spring or Fall, and they go great with so many outfits. Plus they’re perfect for work or for an everyday casual look too!

Piece of My Heart

September 20, 2017 by The Partial Ingredients

I’ve been liking the resurgence of band tees paired with more feminine looks recently. Midi skirts paired with bright, graphic tees are a personal favorite of mine. The one issue is that I’m super picky about the material, what’s on my t-shirts–especially when it comes to band shirts. I feel like in order for me to feel comfortable to wear a band shirt I should be able to name off an album or a favorite song if someone happens to ask. That just seems fair to the artist, right? You gotta at least know and like the band’s stuff if you are endorsing them on your clothes. Well I guess that’s just my own personal standard. Another thing I’m super picky about is the material. Gotta have that soft, thin cotton. Hate that rough stuff! This shirt is 100% cotton but is also super soft.

I never really listened to Janis Joplin much when I was younger but in the last few years I’ve really come to regard her as one of my favorite rock stars. A few documentaries about her life and a few album downloads later I became a fan. After listening to her records I was amazed at her ability to express that amount of feeling through her voice. I wish I could time travel back to one of her concerts, but alas, I was born almost two decades too late.

Besides her music, she had a pretty great sense of style and developed her own unique look. I didn’t have any feathers on hand but I feel like she might have liked these leopard print flats (though she might have preferred low heels). I personally like the little bit of pattern mixing that works perfectly with the tee. This outfit is relaxed enough to wear out and about but also fits in well as a possible festival look. Probably not something Janis was concerned about but versatility is always a plus in my book!

Graphic Tee & Leopard Print Flats

Graphic Tee

Lately I’ve been into pairing midi skirts with graphic tees. It’s a nice combination of boyish and feminine. I love this surrealist graphic tee from an Etsy shop. You can find so many stores there that sell really creative shirt designs. The bag also comes from Etsy and I really like the floral embossing on the leather. The skirt is chiffon so it’s flowy and light–perfect for hot summer days. I’m normally not a fan of leopard print but I am obsessed with these gorgeous smoking slippers! I have officially been converted to wearing leopard print–in tiny doses.
