Off the Shoulder Top + High Waisted Raw Hem Crop Flare + Birkenstocks

 This is one of my favorite shoots we’d done in a while.  It was totally impromptu outside of our house, which is usually when Maya gets into it the most.

Oddly enough…favorite shoot or no, we took them FIVE months ago….whoops.

So, let’s pretend those are yellow and orange leaves behind us!

We actually had a nice sunny day today, so the outfits could have happened! 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!

Menswear Inspired….or, actual menswear?

A little of both!  I love the menswear inspired look.  I am not afraid to actually buy mens clothing, and I absolutely buy boys clothes for Maya too!

My entire outfit (minus my prescription sunglasses ;)) all were thrifted!  The entire outfit cost me around $20-$25!blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-1 blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-2 blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-3 blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-4 blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-5blog-theory-tan-button-down-levis-501-luciano-moresco-brogues-6I can’t even with this next pose.  It’s so funny.  She definitely went through a “NO PICTURE!!” phase for a while.  She eventually would get over it and just play, thank goodness!  Unless, of course it’s with my phone.  She still is pretty adamant about me not taking pictures of her with my phone!  I think she is so used to me having a big camera, that she doesn’t think as much about it.  But with my phone, I’m all up in her face and usually asking.

Anyways, lately, she’s been pulling out these “poses” and it’s totally cracking me up!  I honestly think that’s why she does it.  She’ll do anything if it gets a laugh.  SO…I’ll keep laughing 😉 1blog-maya-259-old-navy-tan-trench-tucker-tate-tunic-cherokee-destroyed-boyfriend-brown-toms-3And of course, she’s always jumping and twirling 🙂blog-old-navy-tan-trench-tucker-tate-tunic-cherokee-destroyed-boyfriend-brown-toms-2 blog-old-navy-tan-trench-tucker-tate-tunic-cherokee-destroyed-boyfriend-brown-toms-3 After this one, she was like-
