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 🙂 Then 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. Since I forgot to photograph the before outfit with the scarf, here it is 🙂 Maya’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 🙂

On me…

Leather Jacket- Vintage (similar here and less expensive faux leather here)

Jeans- Blank NYC

Top- H&M (on sale!)

Boots- Frye (less expensive version here)

On Maya…

Jeans- Old Navy (Scored from ThredUp, but same here)

Top- Janie and Jack (thrifted, but similar in different color here)

Shoes- Kids Korner (thrifted, but these are super cute and on sale for $6! :))

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.

Are we sick of leopard flats? I’m not… :)

I may have already worn these flats a few times, but I love how they add fun to a pretty simple outfit. And…”super mom tip gone bad” I mentioned before my dislike of taking things to the drycleaner (who has time?!), and my frequent tossing of “dry clean only” items in the wash. Well, this sweater is 100% cashmere. I’d washed it on gentle before and it came out great! Then…it accidentally went into the dryer. Wah wah wah 😦 I’m actually ok with the length, but am totally bummed that it’s more of a traditional turtleneck than the cowl neck it was before… Oh, well. I got it on the cheap off eBay (about 90% off!), so I guess I can’t cry over it too much…

All that said. I layered a little boho tank underneath so it wasn’t too short with these very tight skinny jeans. I am SO buying the size up on these when Maya finally grows out of them!! For $6, I LOVE THEM!

On me…

Jeans- Dylan George (sold out at Nordstrom but a few sizes available here Less expensive here)

Super Mom tip *edited*

For the most part, I wash my cashmere sweaters in the wash on “wool delicate”, but make sure you keep an eagle eye out for when the load is done. Someone might help and throw it in the dryer 😉 This does NOT work well with regular wool or cashmere blends. That will fit your child when you are done, which I guess could be a super mom tip on how to find sweaters for you child 🙂

This weather feeds my outfit indecision…

I’m not saying I’m complaining about the weather lately. That would be stupid. It’s not raining!! However, the freezing cold mornings, followed by total sunshine, then rapidly dropping temps again makes it hard to dress accordingly. So…sometimes there’s a midday outfit change!

Started off wearing this…

(Don’t mind the silly grin. This was another self timer day, and Maya was singing to a frog sculpture haha.)Then of course she wanted to get in a few 🙂 These shoes are beyond comfortable! I have a black pair that I wear when I’m on my feet 8+ hours shooting a wedding. Ok, I have two black pairs 🙂 It hit me that I don’t do any close ups of Maya’s clothes. These boots are one of my favorites! Hers too! I love that they can be worn up or down… THEN…I had a shoot later in the day. I knew I would be too hot in that sweater, so I changed. On me…
