While I’m out in the Southwest having a sibling reunion I have a few fashionable women keeping y’all entertained until I come back. I hope you enjoy their posts. Make sure to leave lots of comments for them and once again thanks for the help ladies.
Hello sweet Southern style lovers! I’m Rach from Ordinarily Urbane, my New Orleans-based personal style blog. Ordinarily Urbane is all about relevant, accessible and uncomplicated style for the everyday girl.

On Slow Southern Inspiration:
Considering Billy Reid is one of Christy’s favorite designers, it’s only appropriate that this outfit started with a piece from his collection. I was thrilled to find this oxford at a past Ruffian Swap, a clothing and apparel swap I host in the Greater New Orleans area. With a bit of a chill in the air layers were definitely a necessity. Layering brings new life into old pieces and makes getting dressed so much fun. It’s the perfect excuse to switch up your style with unlikely combination of items. Try two jackets over an oxford, like I did here, or two open oxfords over a tee, because even in the South it still gets chilly. You never know what you’ll come up with! And my Southern-inspired outfit just wouldn’t be complete without the iconic fleur-de-lis, worn in the form of a charming necklace, to top it off.
Next time you get dressed try to have a little fun with what’s in your closet by layering and bringing out that sass of the South. Wishing you the happiest of new years, thanks for reading!
