Leather Jacket |

Today was a bit of a rough day. I had to take Maya to yet another urologist, and she’s gotten to the point now where the minute they call her name to go back she starts crying hysterically. Not without good reason considering they had to do another catheter-ugh. Needless to say, we were both in tears by the end of the visit…

Am I the only one that dresses in bright colors on crappy days, in the effort to cheer up? It got pretty sunny again yesterday…love it! Love this kid so much. You’d never even know she was sick or had a crummy start to her day. Spinning!

On me…

Top- StylMint (on sale!)

Jeans- Rich & Skinny (old, but similar here and less expensive here)

Shoes- Miss Sixty “Marlene” oxford (sold out, but you can still find them on eBay!) Similar here.

Leather Jacket- Vintage purchased from Funky Janes (similar here and less expensive faux leather here)

On Maya…

Dress- Gap (Old, but this is cute, and if $ were no option HAHAHA here)

Jeggings- Jeggings- 77 kids (thrifted, but similar here)

Shoes- Converse

Super Mom Tip:

I posted one of the pics of Maya and me on my facebook page and a friend commented on my hair. I laughed, because it was my “I didn’t take a shower and was sick of my usual messy bun” look. Pretty easy to do. Just start twisting one side (fix with bobby pin). Twist other side, then gather both into a ponytail. Then wrap into a bun. Turns curly out of control bedhead into something a little put together 🙂

90% of the time I wear skinny jeans.

a) Because it feels like I’m wearing sweats (if you get ones that have stretch, which all of mine do!)

b) The inseam on them is usually more conducive to my shorter legs, or they look ok scrunched at the bottom or rolled! Which all boils down to NO HEMMING!

c) I can wear them with flip flops, flats, or boots (aka any season!)

All that said. I love the look of a wide leg jean. I’m really into the super wide leg, but found these mid rise (thought I’d NEVER go back there!) wide leg jeans from Citizens of Humanity at a thrift store ($7!) and figured I’d try them!

Not sure if it was the same trip, but I scored these Jeffrey Campbell wedges at the thrift store too (less than $10)! If I ever put on a heel (for non going out day wear), it’s going to be a wedge. Not sure why, but they are just so much more comfortable. This top is just a glorified T (yup, still staying true to my jeans and t-shirt uniform!)

Then to dress it up a little for maybe a date night or client meeting (if you have a little more casual work place environment)…add a cropped leather jacket and another pair of leather wedges! I know that nobody will really see it, but I’m a sucker for cool lining 🙂 Maya cheated on her skinnies too 🙂On me…
