And now I’m trying to get used to them. Holla if you wear glasses! I’m linking this outfit up to The Pleated Poppy and {…Read More…}

WIW: Last Minute Costume

880's side pony tail

What do you do when you realize the invite to your dinner party that night says “wear a costume”, and you don’t have one? Well, if you’re like me, then you go to your closet and realize that quite a bit of what you see is reminiscent of a particular decade. So why not make the most of that super sweet shoulder padded bolero, bust out your favorite side pony tail and clip on those radical dangle earrings–ta da! You’ve got yourself a costume.

WWW: What We Wore to Dinner in Yosemite

DSC_0632.JPG

So Yosemite isn’t the fanciest of places, which was part of the charm and contributed to the completely relaxed feel of our vacation. However, one night we reserved a spot at the “fancy-schmancy” restaurant at the Ahwahnee Hotel. There was a “dress code” but the hubs and I didn’t want to be over dressed for our laid back vacation. So we went khaki casual. Shirt: Guess, Pants: Gap, Sandals: Rainbows, Dimples: Built In Shirt, Skirt, Belt: Old Navy, Shoes: Aerosoles, Necklace: Forever 21 Benny’s dimples were in full bloom that {…Read More…}

Meet Brooke White: a fashion post and giveaway

Brooke White of Jack and White

I have a new friend. Her name is Brooke. Brooke White. You may have heard of her, from this little show called American Idol. I’ve watched every season. But this was the only season where I actually voted. And it was for her. She made me smile then, and she makes me smile now. About a month ago I met Brooke in person. Like a total goof ball, I confessed my infatuation with her on Idol, and I even ended with “I totally voted for {…Read More…}

WIW: Fresh Produce

What I Wore: Fresh Produce I love a dress that is fancy enough for Church yet still casual enough for everyday wear.  Meet that dress: Dress, Wrap Cardigan: c/o Fresh Produce, Shoes: Soda, Necklace: Lisa Leonard There’s something about wearing a hood that makes me really happy.  Like Christmas morning happy. I know, weird.  It seems hoods make me feel younger and even a bit mysterious…two qualities I imagine are fleeting for most of us busy Mommas.  What I’m getting at is…I wear hoods whenever {…Read More…}

On Sunday, I Showered

Dress: Old Navy, Sweater: Old Navy, Shoes: Soda, Flower: Fossil Outlet, Watch: Fossil Outlet, Necklace: Lisa Leonard Designs On Sunday I showered.  AND did my hair. AND then put on a dress for Church. It was quite a a feat for this packing Momma.  The last ten days have been sweats and baseball cap kinda days, and I imagine the next few weeks will be the same. So let’s soak in this pretty and simple summer dress together shall we, Ahhhhhh.  Because it’s all grease and grime from here on {…Read More…}

WIW: Grayscale

Shirt: Old Navy, Sweater: Old Navy, Pants: Banana Republic, Shoes: Bakers, Watch: Fossil, Ring: LMM So a couple of things: 1. The idea was to wear all one color so as to highlight the fact that I finally painted my nails a color. But now I’m starting to think I just kinda look like a dolphin…a dolphin with yellow finger nails. I will be linking this post up to WIW on The Pleated Poppy and Real Momma, Real Style on MGR. 2.

High Waisted: A Girl’s Best Friend

Shirt: TJ Maxx, Skirt: La Vie Petite, Shoes: Forever 21 I once heard a rumor that Mariah Carey had her two bottom ribs removed so that she could fit into clothes better…or was it Janet Jackson? On either account, I fit into that category of girls with an extra large rib cage.  Put it this way, in middle school my ribs protruded further than my tatas–and it was cause for some major juvenile teasing. Which may be why I am totally stoked that high waisted {…Read More…}

What were you wearing when…

  Top: Forever 21, Sweater: Target, Belt: Old Navy, Watch: Target, Jeans: Paige Denim @ Nordstroms, Shoes: Aerosoles My blouse and shoes were purchased a looonnnggg time ago. In fact, a lot of items I still wear regularly were purchased months, if not years ago–as in I have had them since high school or early college.  Which got me thinking about something funny…  Is it just me, or can you remember exactly where and when every single item of your clothing was purchased?  And, is it {…Read More…}

What I Wore on Mini Date Night

What I Wore on Our 45 Minute Date We don’t get out much, unless there’s a squirmy toddler in tow. When we dated, we went to see a movie every week–every week people. Now we’re lucky if we see a movie every season. And I suppose I have that first time momma anxiety where my mind renders me physically incapable of calling a teenage babysitter to watch my pride and joy. I need to get over it, I know.  But so far,  my Mom and {…Read More…}
