“Wear Something Colorful”
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Not going to lie…I wasn’t feeling this one. I am really not a “colorful” person…
🙈
BUT, I gave it a shot with these super fun pants (that I had NO idea were this unflattering with this sweater 😳 I destroyed most of the evidence-you’re welcome) and this pop of color with my bag.
💙
Who remembers using PURSES?? It’s been soooo long!
😭😂
Maya doesn’t have much color in her wardrobe either, but this jacket was super fun and so cuddly!
💙💙💙
Truth be told, this shoot was a bit of a bust… My remote trigger stopped working, so we took all these with a 10 second timer. For those of you that have seen Maya on video…she doesn’t like to stand still. 😏 SO…there were a lot of outtakes. I had to include some at the end, because if I can’t laugh at us…
🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🙈
Oh well. As I always say…We only need ONE!!
🙏🏻💃

Bodysuits + Highwaisted Denim + Metallic Sandals = NIGHT OUT! Even if we don’t go out….

White top + denim
💫✨
No matter the combination…
🙌🏻
It can be dressed up…dressed down…
💃
It fits every occasion and stands the test of time!!
🙌🏻
Classic, in my opinion!! I sometimes wish I was more adventurous with color and print, but….I usually stick to classics.
🤍🤍🤍
Do you agree? Or are you more of the I want to try all the things and see if they fit?? I’m mildly jealous if you are!!

Lowback Black Bodysuit + High Waisted Culottes + Clogs

Pictures originally taken 7/25/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day…
A few random things…
🤔
I always like to dress up a little bit on Friday nights. Makes me feel a little more “normal”…whatever THAT is!
💃🙃
I wore a very similar outfit last Friday. Sadly, I got my other bodysuit stuck in my zipper. None of us could get it out, so I ended up ripping my bodysuit and pulling the zipper pull completely OFF!
😭😭😭
I then spent about 4-5 hours this week watching you tube videos and trying to figure out how to reattach the zipper. H kept walking by and saying “You know…we could take that to a tailor…”
Am I the only one that spends a stupid amount of time trying to figure something out because you get CONSUMED?? I almost threw in the towel about 5 times, BUT…
TA-DAH!!
🙌🏻
And…I have a complete obsession with what I call mullet tops. Business in the front, party in the back! Swipe to see.
AAAAAAND, the seller listed these clogs as the brand “Toffel” 😱
So I scored them for $17.99 with free shipping!
💃💃💃
Hope everyone is having a good weeekend so far!

Little White Dress + Clogs + BUBBLES!

Pictures originally taken 6/19/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day…
LAST DAY OF 2nd grade!!! We took these to capture the last day of “school”! Which was over a week ago… But…I couldn’t get my act together to think of words I wanted to say…so, I’m delayed in posting.
🙈
The last few months have been…
😳😬
Joy. Laughter. TEARS (me). Learning. Growth. TEARS (me) Laughter.

SURVIVING!!! (BOTH OF US!) Maya has been a complete ROCK STAR! I’m SO proud of how she’s handled this time. She is 100% on board with WHY we need to be more protective, and if I’m honest…she’ s more vigilant that I am! Yet… Seeing so many friends on play dates every time we go out for walks…
😥😥
Me telling her she still needs to do learning when we get home. (Ok, not now that it’s summer, but I’m playing catch up!) I miiiiiiight still be the mom that says she still needs to read and play learning apps while I get shit done… SUMMER!
😬
It has been hard. I hate being the bad guy.
🙈
I’ve always been a bit of a mix. I’m strict with certain things, but FUN…I’m ALL IN-to my detriment at times!! Our lives were all about racing from thing to thing!! Honestly, it was a bit much…. Yet, now…all that has been taken off the table.
😩
I don’t know what the summer will hold.
🙈
BUT…I hope it includes some fun, laughter, and…maybe not bubbles!

They are kinda annoying!! 🤣🤣#LKKeepingitReal

All Black with a Side of….leopard!

Pictures originally taken 6/13/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day…
ALL black clothing…all the time.

I’m a fan!

I feel like a lot of us default to it!

Flattering!

Easy!

YET…It can be hard to transition into spring/summer.

Fun frilly tops, paired with denim. Perfect for going out!

Or…happy hour with your parents and staying in….as is life for me and what happened tonight… (see stories)

Yet, you can easily add a pop of color with your shoes, accessories, or…

Add a pop of leopard print!

(Albeit your daughters pajamas!) swipe

WIN!

Off the Shoulder Jumpsuit with Clogs-TWINNING!

Originally taken  5/22/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words taken from Instagram post on that day.
Maya has been asking to wear off the shoulder tops, and I said…NO!

I’m so not ready for that!! I did tell her that she could pick what we wore, so I guess I have to.

BUT, THEN…I remembered that we had this jumpsuit, that I thrifted for her a few years ago, but…still have. OMG, yay me for hoarding!!! And, it’s not so bad….?? I’m SO not looking forward to the battle of what’s appropriate and what’s not!!! HELP ME!

Chunky Knits over Belted White Dress + Cowboy Boots | TWINNING for Easter!

Originally taken 4/12/2020 (Playing catch up)

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

Happy Easter!
 🐰❤️
I’m over here LOVING the theme for the @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge right now.

Oh…April 12th “Wear your most nightgown-like dress or dress-like nightgown.

DONE and DONE.  ✅✅
We made it out just as the sun was setting, but…came back for bedtime already in our jammies! 
Maya was like “should I change?” Nope! Just take off a few layers! As will I!
 😂
We had a somewhat chill day. Started off with baskets of goodies, and an Easter Egg hunt in our front yard. (See stories) Then…it was pretty much day as usual. Thankfully it was such an amazing day here in Seattle. Sunny, yet still chilly. We got in our two walks and Maya got in a bike ride while I watered all our plants.

THEN…the Huz made dinner. Which is basically the holy grail as far as I’m concerned!
 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
Happy Easter to all of you. I hope you found positives in the day, and enjoyed your family time.

But…to be honest. Dinner went late. We came outside to take pics as the sun was setting, and Maya ran off to video it. Like…where are you going?!!

Um…??? 
Then she comes back and it’s literally dark. Don’t mind me….trying to take some Easter pics.

So pretty tho!

Swipe to see…(It’s in our stories, obviously)

Denim Jacket + White Denim + Clog Boots + Cherry Blossoms!!

I’m playing catch up when I can…

Originally taken 4/11/2020

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

Day 41 (of quarantine)

I’ve been dying to take pics with the cherry blossoms in bloom all over our neighborhood, but haven’t felt right about taking pics anywhere besides right in front of our house!

BUT…@e_for_elisa said to go out, find cherry blossoms, and tag her, so… 

🌸
I took advantage of last night’s hair, and if I’m honest…last night’s mascara that never got washed off! Helloooooo natural smokey eye!
 😂💁🏼‍♀️
We headed out early before everyone got up and started their morning walks. We traveled a block away from our house, and… Yes, we drove. I almost forgot how to drive!
 😳
I had planned the #WWWwardrobechallenge for today, which was…

 “Put on anything glittery for a Saturday shindig in”.  💫✨
Well….you can’t really tell that my top is a shimmery, but it is. 😐 Maya has glittery appliques on her sweatshirt, but…nope, can’t see those either. 🙄
AND…her shoes have gold thread in them. You can’t see that either?? Well, that’s too bad.
 🤣
Oh well, we tried.  🤷🏼‍♀️
But we NAILED capturing the cherry blossoms,💃🙌🏻 so it was all worth it! Only saw one person right as we finished up! •
I had planned on only taking 5 minutes, but since nobody was around we stayed for 10-whoopsie! 😬

AND…

“Style an accessory in an unusual way.” @whowhatwear #WWWwardrobechallenge

Is it cheating to knock out two challenges in one shoot? I think no! 🤣

I’m a big fan of knotting tops with high waisted denim, so I thought it would be fun to do a little different variation. I took this vintage butterfly brooch and cinched my top through it. I didn’t even need to pierce the top!

I just realized that I might have impailed Maya on the 2nd shot tho! 😳😬 I had hopes of doing more early morning shoots, but so far this has been our only one… I’m NOT a morning person… ☕️☕️☕️😴 Happy Tuesday! Or whatever day it is… 😂🙃🤪

Day 40

Seriously…WTF. I cannot even believe we have been in isolation for 40 days. •
I saw that @whowhatwear was doing a #WWWwardrobechallenge, and you KNOW I love a good style challenge. I have NO idea how many of them I’ll be able to do, but…

April 6th was “Wear REAL pants” Clearly, I’m late in the game and am playing catch up!

Soooo… these are super comfy stretch leather pants, but…they totally count, because they are leather, RIGHT?? #StayingSafeAndSaneInCoronaVille

We hopped outside (ha!🐰) for a few quick pics after dinner.

We attempted to tape what we were doing, but….someone had something up her sleeve. (Swipe and also see our stories for more videos of us taking shots tonight)

So…my attempt to show what happens when we are taking this was somewhat foiled. Yet…no, this is what is always happening! 🤣😩 #LKkeepingitreal •

Take the weekend to rest and recharge they say…
🙄
Insert-
🙄😩🙈
Visit to to the Urgent care (the Huz). He’s fine, but…yesterday was a whirlwind of…WTF!?
😩
This morning…he’s supposed to be relaxing and off his feet.
😏
Sewer backing up into the basement, so…we couldn’t run water for the last 12 hours. Calling an emergency plumber right now? Nope…🚫 we tried to fix it on our own-two masked up visits to Home Depot-FINGERS CROSSED!
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Ok, I found a work around/cheat, and put the stoppers in our bathtubs and sink and taught Maya the practice in other countries of toilet paper NOT going in the toilet….😂 well, let’s not think visuals of ANY OF THAT, shall we?!
🤢🤮
All first world problems! We have food. We don’t have to sleep in our stinky bathrooms…
🙌🏻🙏🏻
BUT…since I didn’t clearly want to go take pics tonight, I’ll post a few that I never published.

Leather Jacket + Silk Jumpsuit + Booties- Last dinner out before Quarantine.

Originally taken 3/27/2020

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

So…this was the outfit I wore out to dinner with my parents and the Huz on 2-29-2020

Yes…it was a Leap Year.

It was also the last dinner out we had before going into isolation. We had talked about it as a family, but the gravity of it hadn’t hit me yet. The Huz had been talking about it for a while…and I just couldn’t deal with it. It was before anyone was thinking of doing anything here!

We talked about it being our last dinner out for a while, and we tried not to think about it, and enjoy it. And…well, if you know my parents…we did. We ordered pretty much the entire menu at Il Nido.

Sadly, that was the last time I spent in close proximity with my parents… 😭 They are my best friends, and it’s been so hard. We stop by outside their house and chat with them every morning now (them on their balcony, us on the sidewalk)

This sucks!

BUT…I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them healthy. To keep my family healthy.

But, I’ll also jump in front of our house and take pics as long as I feel like that’s safe, because capturing us in this time gives me joy! Behind the scenes videos of us taking these are in stories!

And let’s be honest…we have to find joy where ever we can!!

These words from the next days post with close ups of my amazing earrings made by a local beautiful mama.

Day 26 of self isolation…or is it 62?
🙃😂
At least we still have laughter! And my tripod!
😆
We have to find joy where we can!
RIGHT?!? Because what else is there?!
🤪
I have to say that @thekirstyfiles has been one of those people that consistently does that! She not only finds the joy, but shares it selflessly by giving back and with laughter. ❤️
She has an amazing store up on Queen Anne @queenanneframe that I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never been inside! 🙈
BUT I saw her showing stuff in her stories and HAD to get these earrings that I will be wearing all the time! (ZOOM IN! They are so good, yet my hair hid them!). Sadly, I bought these and then saw 87 other things I wanted! 🙊
Not sponsored. Not even remotely asked for. She doesn’t know I’m doing this post! But…if you can support your local small businesses right now and share the amazingness, I say go for it! If you are local, she has so many amazing things!!! And will ship or deliver if you live in the QA area!
