i almost didn’t share this look because after i uploaded the photos, i noticed that my bangs were looking kinda crazy after a quick home trim, and my shirt wasn’t properly tucked in and i was making funny faces and… well, i was picking myself apart as is easy to do when you’re staring at pictures of yourself on a very high-resolution computer screen. and then i was like, fuck it! this is what i looked like that day and even if it’s not the most exciting, i still felt pretty good in it.
anyway, this is my uniform as of late. jeans and a button-up shirt. i have a several different pairs of jeans and shirts in varying colors that i switch out with different shoes and bags. sometimes i swipe on some lipstick when i’m feeling a little plain, or i throw my hair up in braids or a top-knot if my hair is dirty. you’ll usually find me in a look like this with my sleeping baby strapped to my front, strolling around los feliz, possibly with an iced coffee in one hand and my cell phone in the other. it makes me feel so stereotypically l.a., but it’s just part of my routine nowadays. daily chats with my mom are good therapy when i’m at home all day caring for a the babe, and getting coffee is a nice little indulgence and a good excuse to get out of the house.

love the denim look
Love this look and you look great!!! I’ve been dying to get a pair of hasbeens.
You always look awesome, but I do love double denim.
Gorgeous! Love the mom jeans, I d love to buy me some : is it a 30 or 32 length?
i’m 5’5″ and wearing them in the 30″ length! could have gone with 32″, but i like the cropped look!
Good, I’m glad you posted, because even though you are your own worst critic, you do always look awesome. It doesn’t have to be perfect every time, right?
And that image of you with baby strapped on front, coffee in one hand, cell phone in the other, that was me too (and my mama on the other end of the phone. Every day). I didn’t even drink coffee until I had my first babe- a necessity now!
glad you posted you these regardless, erin, because you look great! we’re human! :) p.s. looove that shade of lipstick on you!!

I think you look awesome! I had a similar theme in a post on my blog today with photos I *almost* didn’t post because of some crazy wind, etc. But I think its important to show the imperfect ones too :)
You look amazing. Thank you for posting anyway! <3
You look lovely! Sometimes simple looks are the best :)
You look so great! I am going to have to get some of those jeans, did you take your normal size? That heat wave lipstick is the best and I totally get what you mean about iced coffee excuses to leave the house, haha! xoxoxo
thank you! yep, i’d say they fit true to size for asos pants. they have a fit visualizer feature now, so you can check the actual measurements, which is awesome.
Great look, and your makeup is amazing!
Love your denim look and your hair !!! Cute !!!
I can toootally relate to the picking yourself apart! Good thing is, you look great! I wear Heat Wave by Nars too. It really is the perfect orange-red ever. xo
You are a mom now. It is okay if you have dirty hair and such. hehe. You are sleep deprived and I remember longing for showers when I was a new mom because I could only do that when my husband was home and most of the time I was too busy nursing to do it! You look amazing though for just having a baby and look so fashionable and beautiful!!!
