Sharing a hat, and looking like Santa’s elves?

The title will make sense as you scroll down, I promise 🙂

I’m wearing two total thrift store scores here. This top $4.20, and it’s totally authentic western with the snaps-love it! And these Born boots?? SO COMFY!! $7! Please don’t hate me 🙂

It has bee REALLY cold here in Seattle, which means hats are a must if you are going to be out for a while… A lot of times I just put my hats on Maya. They’re handy, and she tends to keep them on more than her own hats. The whole what’s yours is mine theory…?She is SO into balancing on anything and everything! On me…

Top- Vintage thrifted (similar here)

I’ve mentioned before that I have an odd obsession with white jeans. The thought of not wearing them in the winter just never occurred to me. Then…I found some for Maya! So, yes, we are twins today. Oh, well. I’m not sure how I feel about the chambray shirt layered under the sweater. I LOVE it when I see others layering up, and I wanted to try it. I felt a little preppy, so I thought adding destroyed jeans and boots would make it more “me”. That’s what I love about fashion. Taking things you like from others and making it your own! I could just eat her up! I told you I was obsessed with these boots 🙂 On me…

Ok, so a while ago I showed two different attempts at wearing these. I wasn’t sold on either one, but they are SO comfy that I thought I’d try again. I think I like this look the best, but again…it could be their comfort level that is swaying my thinking 🙂 I took the images up top with my tripod and self timer while my parents were watching the Peanut. Then, my mom got this one of us together when I went to pick her up 🙂 She still loves going up and down stairs! On me…

What we wore for Thanksgiving…

Leave a reply

This is what we wore for Thanksgiving. I don’t know why, but for me, Thanksgiving usually means brown and big shocker-COMFY! 😉 No idea why on the brown, but the comfy is a no brainer. Anyway…this is waht we wore. For me-minus the shoes. We hosted, which means no shoes required 🙂 I’ve mentioned it before, but these DL1961 jeans are beyond comfortable. They have a 4 way stretch fabric that moves with you and then bounces back without sagging! Ok, truth be told. I didn’t have time to photograph what I was wearing on the actual day, so I redressed and photographed it the other day haha. I was too busy making pies!! Oh, and photographing the Peanut 🙂 THIS (below) was actually on Thanksgiving. It was totally foggy. My favorite to shoot in! And it was chilly! I had to get ONE picture of her dress before layering her up! I got these Gap boots for $2.75 at a thrift store last week. I was worried that they wouldn’t go with much, but they go with everything! You will see these A LOT in the next week or so :). On me…

My brain is fried from work, so I couldn’t think of what to title this post. I figure not having a title isn’t the end of the world, and it’s one less thing to stress about… Picking my battles haha.

I love this color of leather, but the name kind of makes me want to hurl… The upside to a tripod and self timer=convenient/control (um, for those that know me…). The downside? I chop heads off at times… and get neighbors taking their garbage out. Still using this pic, because I love it 🙂 On me…

Cowboy Boots and….wings?

3 Replies

Maya is usually pretty good about letting me dress her (SO hope that lasts a while longer!!), but every once and a while she is adamant about wearing something. Usually, it’s a pair of boots, but today….it was wings 🙂

But I’ll start with the pics I got while she was napping 😉 “Fly, fly, fly…” For those of you that follow us on Instagram, you saw this as a video 🙂 Yes, she wanted me to wear wings too 🙂 On me…

It was another all black kind of day…

Do you ever have those days when you feel so overwhelmed with work, kids, and LIFE that the last thing you want to think about is “what am I going to wear?”?? Yeah, me too!! 🙂

When that happens, I revert to my comfort zone….black. When I wear all black, I like to at least play with texture… My husband worries that Maya will get “tainted” by me taking all these pictures of her and that she’ll think she’s a model. Um, I’m not worried 🙂 Just a kid jumping in leaves! Funny story. It was COLD yesterday and WINDY! Maya had ripped out the braid I had put in her hair and wouldn’t sit still for me to put her hair in a ponytail. SO…this is the 5 second updo, and I kind of like it! On me…

Gray Frye Booties…what do I do with you?

3 Replies

I bought these boots a while ago, and thought they were perfect! Until…I tried to mix them into outfits. The color is a little light… I can’t quite figure out a color scheme that works with them. After many attempts, I figured I’d just go for it and see how it looked on camera. It really is funny how I’ll see something in the mirror and think it looks good, but when I take pictures of it, I think….what was I thinking?? Kind of makes me feel bad for celebrities. Kind of… 😉

That is one of the things I’m really liking about doing this blog. The experimenting… Trying outfits I might not have tried before. Well, that, and actually just getting out of my work out clothes and taking a shower haha 🙂 This face makes me forget all about bootie woes 🙂 She kept going up and down this driveway. Up…and down. Up…and down. Don’t you wish it was that easy to find joy as an adult? 🙂 So…I’d welcome any suggestions on how to wear these boots! I LOVE them, but they have just been sitting on my shelf :{. They need to be worn!
