Words written on Instagram on that day….
Day 4 of @TheMomEdit #TMEStyleCHallenge“Button Down as a Jacket”
I didn’t really recreate the wheel here…
😂🙈
I grabbed a vintage flannel that I thrifted over a basic tee. It’s a little tricky with plaid flannels to not look like a lumberjack, so I added some dressier clog boots.
Comfy…classic…done!
Tomorrow is-
“Workout Gear as a Real Outfit”
If there was ever a challenge that EVERYONE can get behind right now…
🤣
I just have to narrow down which one to wear!
🤔🤔🤔
Maya didn’t want to partake in this one, and honestly…I’m just so happy for the ones she DOES want to do with me!
On me…
Flannel Jacket- Vintage (thrifted)
Tee- Nation LTD (ebay)
Jeans- Mother “Tomkat” (thrifted)
Clogs- No 6 (ebay)
Keeping it Real…
There aren’t as many outtakes when I only takes pics of myself…mostly because I am efficient and want to just get things done! BUT….
I don’t always plan the shutter clicks haha.
(all pictures taken with a shutter release and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
I love these jeans! I recently scored them off eBay for $7.50!!! And this cute vintage bag is another recent Goodwill score for $6.50!
Maya when I came out wearing this…
I had been using this scarf tied around our focusing stand, but then had the brilliant idea of tying it to my bag-LOVE IT!!
Maya wanted to wear her hair down, and she looks SO grown up to me!
Looooooove all these next ones!!
Me…constantly smothering her. Her….kiiiiiinda putting up with it 🙂
Maya said I should wear these “Birthday Babe” sunglasses that she found at a thriftstore. The only problem is that I forgot that the camera is looking at you backwards from what you are doing. We were attempting to show that I turned 45 but it came out 54?!?
I can resist matching shoes!!
Maya saw her picture on the back of the camera, and said “From far away, I look like you!”
Nailed that pose!
And….my scarf tied as the focusing point.
Good grief. I don’t even remember what I was laughing about!
And, what the HECK??!!!
I’m all about tying tops with high waisted jeans vs tucking in. Who wants the added bulk??
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 
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
See that woman in the distance? Yep, of course she came RIGHT up the walkway…again…don’t
These were one of the first flares that I chopped. They are my FAV!! And…the ones that started the chopping addiction ha!
Baby Birks!! DYING!
These next images are some of my absolute favs of us!
And….Maya totally schooling me on the art of posing!
Always a neighbor or FIVE that walks by…and usually when I’m taking pics ALONE!
And I CAN’T let these images of US go by…. 
And…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
And the actual lifts themselves…. 😉
I looooooove the detailing on the front pockets of these!
Not quite sure how to put my hands in them though haha.
This location is perfect for us, which is why we come here a LOT! There are ALWAYS dogs walking by or playing in the field next to us, so Maya is in heaven! It is sometimes hard to get her BACK into the shots with me, but usually I can grab her for a few here and there.
LOOOOOOOVE this next one!
I HAD to put this other one in!!
And then….these!
LOOOOOOVE!
I can’t believe it was warm enough for me to take my jacket off, but it was!
DYING over these next ones!! I’ll be so sad when her gap toothed smile grows back in!!
On me…
The downside of the remote trigger, and a noisy park. Can’t hear when it goes off ha!
Trying for a jumping shot!
OMG, this look is SO her…
And…for those keeping track. The licking hasn’t stopped.
And also….striped button down tops! I had to have an extension to my striped tee obsession haha.
But back to the cutting of the jeans…
And I’m late in posting this. Like…really late.
