Jumpsuits + Birkenstocks | Twinning!

 Of all the clothes I have (and the amount is a little ridiculous…), this jumpsuit gets the most compliments!  Might be because I wear it so much haha.  But, it’s SO comfy, super easy one step dressing, and soooo nice to wear in the HEAT! And…could you DIE over Maya’s cute jumpsuit?!!  I want it in MY SIZE!  I scored it on eBay (like new!) for $14 (retailed for $160-what the WHAT?!!)  I couldn’t wait to put her in it!  It’s SUPER lightweight, so again…great for the heat waves we’ve had this summer! Her face…
LOOOOVE this next one! I recently scored these pair of Birkenstocks for me for $25!  They didn’t even look like they’d been worn!  Yay me!  Maya’s were another eBay score for $14

People always tell me I’m so lucky Maya is so good in front of the camera, and that she likes having her picture taken.
Um….not so much. This one though… 🙂

Twinning is Winning… Stripes + Skinnies + Moto Boots

 We’ve been having abnormally hot weather this May, but over the weekend it was pretty chilly.  It was nice to revisit boots and layers for a few days!Blog John Eshaya Sweater DL1961 Emma Wick Fiorentini Baker 7040 Boots-1 Blog John Eshaya Sweater DL1961 Emma Wick Fiorentini Baker 7040 Boots-2I feel like I should be knocking on wood, BUT… Maya has been more open to my clothing suggestions lately!  For the last year, it has been twirly dresses and leggings on repeat!  Which…is fine, but I LOVE her in jeans.  And honestly, they are more durable for falls!

Oops, we did it again…with Vans slip ons :)

So many times when I’m in the mood to wear something, I’m in the mood for Maya to wear something similar.  I try really hard to make sure we don’t leave the house totally matching (sometimes I’m too braindead and it happens…)  Most often it’s our shoes (like yesterday!).  In my defense, Vans and Converse are so flipping cool and comfortable, that I don’t even think it should count 🙂

Basically, they should be a mom staple…

White after Labor Day…of course!

I have a slight obsession with white jeans.  THAT is not exactly “mom friendly”, but we have stain remover, so I indulge my obsession every now and then and hope for the best.  It’s a good thing I have 4 or 5 (ok, maybe more) pairs…

This particular pair is DL 1961 Kate Slim Straight.  I talked about my love of DL 1961 jeans here.  Their 4 way stretch is SO comfortable!  I bought this particular pair over 2 years ago, when I was pregnant (I only wore stretchy non maternity jeans when I was preggers!)  They’re one size bigger than I normally wear now, but that just makes them kind of a skinny boyfriend fit 🙂blogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-1n

blogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-2nI like adding a little pop of color to a neutral outfit. blogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-3n blogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-4n

During these last days of summer/early fall the temperature changes pretty drastically over the course of the day.  Layering is key… blogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-6n BlogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-4 BlogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-5Am I the only mom that walks out of the house and 75% of the time realizes that I match my kid?  I like to buy clothes for Maya that I would wear, so I guess when I’m in the mood for something…it trickles down to her 🙂

So…  Chambray shirt with a pop of color (she picked the shoes)….who wore it best?? hahaBlogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-6Yeah, I agree.  She did 😉 BlogDL1961 White Grey Tank Jean Shirt-7On me…
