Another dress!!  Who’d a thunk?  I never would have worn this outfit if it weren’t for the challenge, but I kind of liked it.  There were a few windy moments, when I feared I flashed people, but I had on tights, so…oh well.  :}Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-1 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-2 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-3 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-4 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-5 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-6 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-7Looking both ways for cars.  SO CUTE!!  Safety first 🙂 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-8 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-9This is SUCH a classic Maya look.  We spotted my dad out for a walk (as we were on our way over to their house for a quick visit), and she’s asking him something.  🙂 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-10And of course…a stick 😉 Blog StyleMint Jacket Twenty8Twelve Dress Frye Harness Boots-11Other Style Challenge Days here…

Can we just pretend I took a shower?

Ok, good.  Now let’s carry on.  🙂

Ever since starting this blog, I’ve started dressing up a little more than I have since I started working from home (which was 6 years ago).  The Huz is really liking that part 🙂  I’ve always had the other clothes, but kind of fell into a rut.  When you work from home, are a stay at home mom, or in my case both, it can just be easier to stay in your sweats haha.  Most days, I don’t take my shower until later in the day, which means hair in a bun…  All that said, I feel SO much better about myself when I do get out of my sweats and actually put some thought into my clothes.  Even if I don’t make it into the shower haha 🙂

So, I may not have taken a shower, nor put a lot of thought into my outfit, but at least I’m not in my sweats 🙂blog H&M Army coat J Brand Jeans Black Frye Harness Boots-2 blog H&M Army coat J Brand Jeans Black Frye Harness Boots-3Oh, but wait…at least we don’t match!1Maya 103 weeks rain boots vest-1On me…

What to wear to the Pediatric Radiologist {I only wish I was kidding…}

 I think I mentioned before that Maya has had some issues for the past 5 months.  We’ve been going to the Dr more times that I can even count.  For sure more times that I want to count.

  Through it all, she’s been such a champ.  Still full of smiles.  THIS?  A few hours after she was put under anesthesia, poked, proded, and…well a lot of other things.  Love this little resilient nugget more than anything!blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-1 blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-2Me?  I just wanted to be comfy… blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-3 blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-4 blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-5 blog BCBG Sweater Genetic Denim Jeans Frye Harness Boots-6On me…

You don’t have to spend a ton of money on a cool leather jacket…

I got this vintage leather jacket at Funky Janes for $25!!  I LOVE IT!  It totally looks like a $500 jacket, yet I know that nobody else is wearing it 🙂Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-1 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-2 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-3 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-4Then when I got home from the shoot a few hours later, it was SUNNY!  It was a little chilly, so I kept the scarf on that I had thrown on (but forgot to photograph!) as I left. Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-5 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-6Since I forgot to photograph the before outfit with the scarf, here it is 🙂 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-7 Blog Vintage Leather Jacket Black Blank Denim Frye Boots-8Maya’s outfit was all about “This might be the last sunny day we have, I’m going to put the things I love that she’s growing out of on” haha

Am I the only one that gets sad every time their kid moves up a size?  It’s quickly replaced by excitement over the new bigger sized clothes, but still…a little mourning goes on 🙂1Maya104 weeks Janie Jack Old Navy

Super Mom Tip-
I could talk all day long about my love of thrifting.  The thrill of the hunt.  The excitement over finding things at 90-95% off!  You do NOT have to spend a kazillion dollars to look good or even wear designer items.  If you get overwhelmed at Thrift stores like Value Village/Goodwill or don’t have the patience for eBay, find a local consignment store.  Or not so local.  It might be worth a drive to score a vintage leather jacket for $25 🙂  PLUS, if you drop your clothes off there, you get $$ back which means the jacket could be FREE!!   ThredUp is also a great online source for both gently used clothing for children and women!  Their customer service is amazing, and the quality of clothing is outstanding.
