Coated + Colored Denim…

I had about 10 minutes before I had to leave for a shoot this past weekend, so we ran outside for few quick pics.

I’ve mentioned before my love of coated denim. I scored these purple ones off eBay and I’m in LOVE!! One of the many great things about them is that muddy little footprints wipe right off! Teaching her the blogger pose hahaha. 🙂 “Look Mommy, I’m like a backpack!” 🙂 My father in law stopped by to pick something up “Hi Papa!! HIIIIII!!”Sometimes I capture a look that is so her. This is one of them. I could just eat her up!I said “Maya! You stay on that curb til I come get you!!”Um…On me…

Keeping it Real…

I’ve been slammed with work, and have had some stuff going on in my personal life. All that to say, I’ve been a tad overwhelmed. Once again, this blog has been a nice creative escape and a reminder to get out and have fun with the Peanut. So, thanks again for reading and following along 🙂

Going green…

Green is my favorite color, so you will see a lot of it on here. When I found these boots at Funky Janes Consignment store for $25, I knew I had to have them! Once again, I go to purge my closet…then add to it. Oh, well. Let’s just call it recycling, which is good for the environment, right? 🙂 These are so fun, and they go perfectly with these jeans from Black Orchid! I mentioned before how comfortable these are. They truly feel like you are wearing sweats-best trait for a jean if you ask me!I love that this top from StyleMint has little sheer panels. It was hard to capture on camera, but the side panels make this look less like a big mumu. I actually got the top in a bigger size than I normally would because they were sold out. I kind of like the slouchy tunic look…happy accident! Sometimes if I’m wearing a big baggy top, I like to wear a long necklace to give it shape. And…truth be told. These were the shoes I wore for most of the day 🙂 So, this outfit really can go from day, to office, to night. Just change out the shoes and remove/add jewelry! On me…

Super Mom Tip-

If you see something that you like on sale, and they don’t have your size-try a different size! This top was supposed to hit a few inches below the belt line, but all they had left was a size 4 (sizing is 1-4, which translates to XL). I bought it anyway, and love it! I do this with jeans I find at the thrift store and make them “boyfriend jeans”. I’ve even tried on a size that was too small, only to find that it fit. I find that jean sizing is all over the board, so why not try it!

Colored Denim…

When your daily uniform is t-shirt and jeans, you love when they come up with a variation on it! Colored denim? All over it! And these Black Orchid jeans are unbelievably comfortable!! They are so stretchy, that they feel like sweats, yet look like jeans.

Btw…this was taken right after it had been in the 70’s, then got windy/sprinkling (in case you thought I had a wind machine :)). 5 minutes after I took these…DOWNPOUR. Yup, tis the season…

I had one of those moments today where I thought “There are only a few more sunny days left in the year. OMG, WHY have I been wearing the same two pairs of flip flops all summer???!!! Why haven’t I worn the sandals I love??!!” Love these shoes! Oddly enough, I “save” them. What’s up with that??!Oh, and then the weather turned…And I looked for something cuddly.I didn’t dress Maya the same today, but…she has rocked colored denim on a number of occasions. Here’s one that’s similar…
