White Tied Button Down + High Waisted Dark Denim Shorts + Gold Wrap Sandals

1 Reply

The last fashion post from our recent trip to Los Cabos…

I’m still hoping to do a recap of both places we stayed, the things we did, and recommendations from BOTH our trips from last year, but…that might be a while 🙂

For now, quick and easy fashion thoughts!

A white button down is a staple packing piece for me.  It’s so versatile!

Dress it up, dress it down. Wear tied as a knot, tucked or untucked. It could even be worn as a cover up!
And these high waisted dark denim shorts were super versatile too!  They can be somewhat dressed up, or totally casual with tank and flip flops! I honestly don’t know who I had more fun packing for though…me or Maya. I’d totally wear her outfit too! 💜 Pose…art directed by Maya 🙂 Loooooove this next one!!
On me…

A lot of times, I’ll tell Maya she can choose how we pose.
A lot of the times, I don’t quite know what she wants me to do haha.
She was very specific with heart shot! 🙂

Knotted Peasant Top + High Waisted Crop Flares + Birkenstock Gizehs

3 Replies

I had all these great intentions of blogging on our Mexico pics while we were on Christmas Break, but then reality and a never ending cold (I was seriously sick for the entire 2 1/2 weeks!!) kicked my ass, and…well.

I blogged nothing.

So, I’m catching up now, and hope to eventually also catch up on the pics I took from our LAST vacation to Los Cabos back during Spring Break 2018.  Maybe for this next Spring Break??  Haha.

All in all, I’d love to do a write up of both places we stayed and what we did…eventually.

Until then.

A fairly simple comfy outfit.  High wasited crops are my go to right now.  So easy and comfy.  These had a built in hem that was too short for my legs, so I let it out, and I LOVE THEM!  Funny enough, the brand has an almost identical pair to these with the hems let out.  Great minds and all…

And, while I like to tuck things into high waisted pants, it’s so much easier and more flattering to tie tops right at the waist!

No lumps!  No fussing with retucking when you go potty-haha, yes, I went there!

Yay!

Top- Current Elliott (eBay)
Jeans- McGuire “Bessette Culottes” Mine came with a shorter hem, but I let them. (eBay)
Sandals- Birkenstock “Gizeh” (thrifted, like new for $25!!)

I know I post these a lot, but I was a little cranky that I lost this amazing sun flare by the time I
actually got into the frame… 😦 . Imagine me IN with all this light goodness, ok?
See that woman in the distance?  Yep, of course she came RIGHT up the walkway…again…don’t
mind me!

Thrifted Off the Shoulder Ruffle Dress for Cocktail Hour

Leave a reply

 I found this dress a week or so before we left for Mexico, and I KNEW it would be perfect to bring!  I thought it was vintage at first, but I don’t believe it is now… It definitely has that look though, which I love!

A few days into our trip the hotel had a cocktail hour for the guests.  I loved the fact that all these people were wearing fancy expensive outfits, and here I was in my $5 thrifted dress. 🙂

The twirl factor, the off the shoulder goodness, and…the tassle tie!!

LOVE! Maya’s entire outfit is thrifted too, but that’s per usual… Gah, love this little nugget! On me…

It’s been a while since I showed how we take the pictures.  Yes, I brought my focusing stand and tripod along with me!
Otherwise…there would be no pictures of me on…or me with Maya.
SO, yes, I take them along on all our trips now.
 The downside of taking pictures at a resort?  There are constantly people walking or driving by
and wondering what the heck I’m doing haha.
You can totally tell he’s laughing at me! ha!  Don’t mind me…
Maya- “Um…more people are coming.”

Jumpsuits for resort vacations…

Leave a reply

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish we were still in Mexico…
😭🌴🌝
Reality is SO overrated!  And it’s currently raining SIDEWAYS in Seattle, so really overrated…
😂🙈
BUT…celebrating Christmas with our parents was what it was all about! Next year…if we can just get them to come to Mexico with us!
😁❤️
I know I should be posting cozy winter outfits, but…nope. I’m going to post pics we took on our vacation for a little bit longer.
😁
For me, rompers and jumpsuits are a no brainer when packing. An easy all in one outfit! I added a vintage thrifter belt and thrifted sunglasses, because I’m too paranoid to lose my prescription ones!! I always load up on cute thrifted sunglasses before any vacation and summer! Saltwater sandals are hands down the best to bring on a beach vacation!  Waterproof and cute too! I can’t even… The only bad thing about taking this vacation at the end of my ridiculously crazy season at work, was that I really didn’t want to pick up my camera as much.  It sat untouched for the first 4 days… I was happy to not pick it up, but then knew I’d regret not taking pics!

The other bad thing about the timing of our vacation was that the sun set at around 5:00.  We were barely back from playing by 4, and to turn around and go back out to catch the sunset…it didn’t happen.

I kept telling myself I’d get up and take some sunrise pictures, because that was around 6:45 and they were AMAZING!!!  But alas…nope, that didn’t happen either.

SO…one shoot on the beach at midday was all I got.

Not the most idea lighting, but….LOVE!
And yes, Maya got to ride this horse later!!  I’ll post more about that later!  Definitely the surprise highlight of the trip for both of us!

I totally messed up and stood a line farther back in the walkway than I originally focused
on…and….an entire series of super cute shots are out of fucus!  BOO!
She ALWAYS stands in front of the focus stand!  Yet, she doesn’t stand still for a SECOND, so she
cannot BE the focus stand.  Which is why I lug it around… In between moment of the shutter going off.  Always cracks me up…
Maya putting our keycard between her feet.  Outtake or marketing GENIUS?!!
