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

I’m playing catch up when I can…

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… 😂🙃🤪

Classic White Button Down + Denim + a Pop of Colorful Clogs!

Originally taken 3/20/2020. Good grief…I can’t keep these in order!  But…since it was a year an a half ago…does it really matter?  haha…

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

Spring has sprung!
• 💐🌷
And we are just trying to find the joy and laughter where we can. One of the ways we are doing that is by listening to an audio book we both love while we take walks. We also had a “Happy Hour” Facetime with my parents last night.
• 🍷❤️
How are you finding joy right now?

One outfit combo that is ALWAYS in style is a white button down with jeans.  You can dress it up, dress it down, and always add a twist with accessories!

Leather Jacket + Boho Dress + Combat Boots

Originally taken 3/3/2020 (whoops, forgot to post this one before the last post!)

Text written on Instagram when I posted it there.

“Winterize a Spring Outfit”

It’s the 2nd week of my random challenge. (See our stories for behind the scenes videos!)
💃
Maya got inspired too! I asked her to pick out a “spring dress” (as an avid thrifter…she has a lot to choose from 🙈), and I styled the dress she picked for the warmth of our 46 degree WINDY day. 😳. LOTS OF LAYERS!

I’m totally committed with continuing this style challenge and would love any further input on other weekly themes!

Last week was “Black and White” courtesy of the suggestion of @mskim_says 
A few people followed suit, which I was super excited about! If you tag #DitElleGetInspired I will share your posts! Most likely in my stories, but hopefully others will get inspired too!

AND…both of our outfits are entirely #thrifted or #ebayfashion as they usually are. Let me know if you have any questions about thrifting! Or…@ebay I’m a pro!

Does anyone else love a good style challenge? I’m always SO pumped by @themomedit #TMEStyleChallenge and have totally committed to them the last few years. I actually saved ALL the challenges this last time and planned my outfits for them. BUT…life. got. in. the. way. As it does!! 😫

Just know. Any time I post a challenge…it’s not time sensitive! Tag me whenever you choose to be inspired! That is the idea of the hashtag. GET INSPIRED! •
I promise to check it, but if you tag me I’ll see it!

Fringe Leather Jacket + Distressed Skinnies + Clogs (date night | Mama’s Night Out)

 So….these images are old …

Like….SEVEN MONTHS OLD!

I used to be so good about blogging, and now, I find that I’m just doing what NEEDS TO BE DONE!!

But I’m attempting to catch up and blog a bunch of photos that we’ve taken, because I can’t let them go undocumented!

These looked current, for what the weather is doing now, but I looked back and they were taken back in NOVEMBER!  hahaha.  Oh, well.

BUT….I love them, and have no idea what was really going on at this point in time, so… sadly I have no documentation other than what I see now.
Gotta love my neighbors walking by…
Yeah, and usually one comes up behind me walking their dog! This fringe and stud detailing…LOVE!!!

I still can’t believe I scored it for !! Always obsessed with our matching clogs from Sven!!
Her face!! Then 5 minutes later the sun was gone and it started to rain…

Oddly enough it rained tonight too!  SO…let’s just pretend we took these in July 2019, ok?

LOVE these next two though!!!

On me…

Jacket- Doma (ebay)
Top- Nation LTD (ebay)
Jeans- RtA “Sonia” (eBay)
Clogs- Sven “Ankle Wrap Strap”C/O
On Maya…
Jacket- Hudson Kids (ebay, but similar here)
Dress- Vintage Hanna Andersson (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
Well, it’s inevitable at this point.  Everyone is walking their dogs or their kids if it’s not raining
so….HI!  Don’t mind us!
And, without fail…my cheap timer goes off when I don’t want it to.  BUT…it’s cheap, and…it’s
from Amazon, so… 🙂

White Off the Shoulder Top + High Waisted Raw hem Skinnies + Ankle Wrap Clogs

We just got home from Maya’s school “Spring Fling”.  Bouncy houses, games, tattoos, book fair galore.

But…I had a much needed Mama’s night out a few weeks ago! 🙌🏻

At our school auction they do a “Mama Dance Party”. A local coffee shop opens up for us and we drink, dance, and let loose…it’s AMAZING! I signed up last year, and of course had to sign up again this year! 💃

Took these really quick before we all walked to all our neighborhood restaurants. At which point I said ✌🏻 to the Huz and kids as I entered one restaurant and they went to another 😂🙈😬😜🍷 Love the back hem of these!
Maya and I had been to a “Tea Party” with her Girl Scout troop earlier in the day so she was a little dressed up for that.  She would happily wear a party dress every day of the week though haha.

On me…

Top- Sincerely Jules “Everly Top” (Nordstrom Rack  only $29!)
On Maya…
Dress- Poco &  Picotine (thrifted)
Sandals- Saltwater Sandals (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
I wasn’t sure if it would look better tucked in….and of course hadn’t quite finished tucking when the timer went off 😉 .
Mid pick up…haha.
I’m clearly having more fun than she is at this point!!
In my defense…some of our friends had just walked by, but you know…time was a ticking and I wanted to still get some shots before we headed out for dinner, so…don’t mind us!  They actually jumped in with us for a few right after! 🙂

Denim Jacket + White Sundress + Peep Toe Clogs + Vintage Wicker Bag (Memorial Day Outfit Inspo)

 I can’t believe it’s already Memorial Day weekend!

Although, we took these pictures a few weeks ago, I thought it would be the perfect Memorial Day outfit inspiration for those headed to BBQ’s and parties.  A white dress might be asking for trouble (hello spills!), but…that’s what stain remover is for, no??! 😉
I am SO obsessed with this vintage bag I scored while I was on a girls trip in Idaho!!  It’s in perfect condition and the bakelite handles and trim are SO amazing!!
I loooooove the color of these clogs!  At first I thought they were pink, but they are the prettiest blush nude that will go with EVERYTHING this summer!
I can’t handle these next ones…LOVE HER!!  AND…The rainbow sunflare I got in these next ones makes me so happy!
She kept tickling me with this, and then…I realized she was really trying to get yellow dust all over my face.  See outtakes 🙂

The gap toothed smile is my all time favorite! I was SO sad that her front two teeth grew in SO FAST!

Thankfully, these side ones have taken their time growing in…

On me…

Jean Jacket- 3×1 thrifted for $10!!! (similar here retails for $300!!)
On Maya…
Jacket- Hudson Kids (ebay, but similar here)
Dress- Les Petites Choses (thrifted, but similar print here)
Jeans- Gap Kids (thrifted, but love this light wash here)
Keeping it Real…
Yup, another “1st shutter click shot”
nailed it! haha.
Is this thing working??
This is where I realized she was trying to dust me with yellow powder…
And yes…bikers and walkers were going past us constantly.  No shame at this point!
Ha!

Tie Front Button Down + High Waisted Flares + Clogs ( + Cherry Blossoms!)

 Truth be told…I kinda forgot we took these!

I had all these ideas for taking pics amongst all the BEAUTIFUL cherry blossoms all around Seattle, but alas…time or lack thereof….

Finally, I decided to stop a along this street a few blocks away on my way to go pick Maya up from school.

It actually got really sunny later, but it was still overcast and chilly earlier as it seems to be lately.  SO, it’s all about layering!
I’m all about tying tops with high waisted jeans vs tucking in.  Who wants the added bulk??

NOT ME!
On the way home, we just stopped back off at the same place.
Dying over Maya’s little shirt dress!!  Scored it off eBay from one of my fav sellers in a lot of 4-5 pieces.  She only took pictures of everything folded, so I thought it was a denim shirt.  SO excited when I pulled it out!  Basically it ended up being $3 or $4!!
I wanted to try and get some pics like we did a two years ago.  Not sure I’ll be able to pick her up next year…

On me…

Sweater- 360 Cashmere (eBay)
Jeans- MIH “Caron” in Redo (eBay, sold out similar here)
On Maya…
Leggings- Crewcuts (thrifted, but similar here)
Boots- Dr. Martens “Delaney”  (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
The first shot when the shutter goes off is often me adjusting things haha.  And clearly my RBF…
haha.
She kept pinching my cheeks!
And… Not wanting me to kiss her.  HA!  That’s not happening!
I do believe the days for piggy back rides are limited.  She keeps flinging herself back and with
how much she weighs that just isn’t good!!
My face though ha!

Oversized Paper Bag Jeans + Fitted Striped Sweater + Clogs

One of the many reasons I love to do “Style Challenges” is that it makes me pull out items I own, yet have never felt comfortable wearing. I know I should Marie Kondo that shit, but you know what….having fun stuff to wear “just in case” brings me JOY!!
😂🙈
Soooo…as soon as I saw the weekly theme of “Oversized Chic” for The Mom Edit’s latest Style Challenge. I knew I wanted to try and style these jeans that I’ve had for SO long, but couldn’t muster up the courage to wear them. They are so FUN!!  Yet, so overly….oversized fun?🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t know. I think I may have “grown into them” in the last few years, because I swear they were way too big on me when I first bought them…😬I guess that’s one good thing about overindulging?
🤣
In any case. With Jeans this high waisted and oversized, I needed a pretty basic top. THANKFULLY it’s been sunny and actually getting to 50 degrees!! So, no jacket needed (sorry to all of those of you that are still living in bundled up-land)

AND…I cannot believe it, but I found my favorite brand of @svenclogs recently for….$4!!! 😱 I did a double and triple take and snatched them up so fast! 🤗 Oh, and these amazing jeans? They retail for $390…. 😬 and…I got them on eBay for less than $20. I thought they were vintage! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤗

I cannot WAIT for consistent warm weather to wear both of these ALL THE TIME!! Funny thing is that I’ve had these for probably…2 years!  I was convinced I’d just resell them, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet.  I’m SO glad I didn’t!

Marie Kondo….They now bring me JOY! 😉

On me…

Sweater- Enza Costa (eBay, similar here )
Bag- American Eagle (hand me down from my mom!)
Boots- Sven “Plain 3″ Clogs” thrifted for $4!
Keeping it Real…
The whole purse swing is hard to get with a tripod…oh, and when you spot your neighbor?  EVEN HARDER!! 😂
Oh….and another neighbor?  Don’t mind me…

Vintage Tweed Jacket + High Waisted Crop Raw Hem Flares + Sheepskin Lined Clogs

 Well, we are officially in the cold weather, and I’m thinking about Thanksgiving outfits.

We have a pretty laid back casual Thanksgiving. We usually host, and I’m usually still cooking/cleaning/prepping until people start showing up. 😏

SO…I have to be comfy. This honestly might be what I end up wearing.

Sweater (I gotta try, right? 😜) + High Waisted Jeans (to hold in my overstuffed tummy 🙈🐷) + Warm sheepskin lined clogs (comfort, cozy, and cute-the 3 c’s! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻)

I’m determined to shoot a few more options up until then, so I’m not frantically deciding the afternoon of… I’ve realized that I’ve photographed these jeans repeatedly (ok, not sure I’ve posted them repeatedly yet, but they are coming!!)

…but they are SO comfy and so flattering, SO… 🙂

On me…

Jacket- Vintage (similar here and less expensive here)
Sweater- Acrobat
Jeans- 3×1 (ebay)
Clogs- Ugg “Kalie” clog (ebay, sold out)
Keeping it Real…
When it’s just me, I don’t have as many outtakes.  And that’s only because I literally took 5 minutes from the first to the last shot.

Red + White + Blue | Memorial Day 2018

 We had the best long weekend!


I didn’t have to work all weekend, the weather was AMAZING, and we just had a ton of park hangs, play dates, and a BBQ at my parents house.
🤗👌🏻
It was a preview of summer (minus me not having to work) and it was so good…

So…funny story.  The reason there’s a “haze” on the first image, is because Maya kept jumping up and waving her hand in front of the camera…  Looooove this next one! AND….awe!!! My mom and Maya decorating with flags… hahaha 🙂 Not exactly what you’d think of for climbing shoes, but… 🙂

On me…

Jean Jacket- 3×1 thrifted for $10!!! (similar here retails for $300!!)
Top- Sandra Ingrish  (similar here)
Jeans- Current Elliott “The Cropped Straight Leg” (Bought on eBay like new for $2.26!!!)
On Maya…
Denim Jacket- CrewCuts (thrifted)
Dress- Copper Key (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
Yup, could probably do another post with the outtakes, but…here’s just a few.
