So, I mixed two more challenges into today again.ย Cheating?ย I don’t think so… ๐
Day 5: Change out your handbag, and Day 8; Break out an item you haven’t worn in at least six months.
I think my saving grace is that they were NOT the same thing!ย But…it was sunny, so it was time to break out of the winter wear-woo hoo!!
To be honest.ย I’ve never worn this kimono.ย I’ve tried a few times, but it never seemed to work.ย Today it did.ย That said…I think I will save it for nights out, because I was constantly pulling it back over my shoulders as I was doing this and that.
And OMG, SANDALS!!!ย Oh, how I’ve missed you!!ย It was kind of nice not caring if my toes were painted for 4 months, but I will gladly paint them (for a while haha :))
Here’s the 2nd challenge.ย Swap out your handbag.ย Or…in a mom’s case- big a** bag!!ย If you carry a traditional diaper bag or opt for a big bag that you dump everything in, we need a big bag.ย Diapers, snacks, possible change of clothes, drinks, plus our stuff?!ย I love this bag from Foley & Corinna!!ย I may or may not have it in 3 colors :}ย I originally splurged on it as a “briefcase” when I worked in the corporate world.ย Then, it became my go to carry on.ย Then…diaper bag!ย LOVE IT!ย Hence, me hunting various colors down on eBay, because I believe they are sold out?
In case you were wondering…no, she could not be any cuter.ย DYING!!!
“Maya, can I have a hug?”ย Followed by…
LOVE HER!!!!
