Thrifted Crop Flare Overalls (!!!) + Twirl Dresses Forever {and another Low Tide Adventure}

I will always love overalls! I think I actually owned this pair in a couple of colors back in the 90’s! I just recently thrifted them for $6, so I have no idea from what era they originate. I love that they are a little cropped (not sure if they are supposed to be??), and they are beyond comfy! Blog Gap Crop Flare Overalls Gold Salt Water Sandals-1 I’m not 100% sure how I found Crew & Lu, but I’ve been following her on Instagram for a while now. Uyen is freaking hysterical, and she makes the most adorable clothing!! A few weeks ago, she had 60% off almost her entire inventory, and I jumped at the chance to get a few things for Maya.

When we opened the box, Maya “Ooooohed and aaaaaaahed!” She kept saying “Oh, THANK YOU MOMMY! These are amazing!” I may have gotten a couple of dresses… 🙂 Blog Crew and Lu Cloud Grey Everyday Dress Salt Water Sandals -1 LOVE the back on this dress!!And the twirl factor is off the charts. A total win in Maya’s book 😉

Normally when we go to the beach, she just runs, plays, FALLS, and splashes around. She was so nervous about getting her dress dirty though that she kept holding it up.

Thankfully, she had her swim suit on underneath 😉 Blog Outtake

I really need to get one of those tide schedules, because low tide in Seattle is SO amazing! Maya LOVES to run around in the water, and really….can you get a more beautiful setting?? And the shoes come off for both of us 🙂Another plug for thrift store shopping. NO worries about getting down and dirty 🙂On me…

As a side note. For those of you that are potty training your toddler or have a toddler that is trained, I HIGHLY recommend the Kalencom 2-in1 Potette. It’s been a LIFESAVER when we are out and about either running errands or down at the beach/park. It has legs that stand it upright, but it can also fold flat out to be put over a toilet seat. I also bought this pack of these liners. Super easy to use, and Maya loves using it. It folds up pretty small, so I just keep it in my car, or I throw it in my beach bag. Not really sure what the laws are about toddlers peeing in public haha, but that falls under the beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission category for me 🙂

Gorgeous day in Seattle…

It’s so funny how if you give us a little sun and 50 degree weather, we are all happy as clams here in Seattle! I’ve been dying to shoot down by the water with the Space Needle in the background for a while. We walk by this spot almost every morning on our walk. It’s SO pretty… So…I tried something a little new with my hem. I am 5′ 8″, but have ridiculously short legs. That means, I usually either need to hem my jeans (will do a post on that at some point, because who wants to pay $20 for that??), let them scrunch up at the bottom, or roll them. These jeans have a super long inseam (35!), so I double rolled them. I can’t decide if it looks weird, or I’m onto the next “cool thing” Let’s just say the latter 😉 I really should do more posts with my bags. I only have one actual diaper bag (which I posted here), but it doesn’t even look like a diaper bag (I made sure of that!). I just buy oversized bags, and have a little bag that has a few diapers and wipes that I swap out into each of them 🙂 This particular bag I’m holding here was a major eBay score. Regularly $446, and I got it for $26! Mini stick!!! haha 🙂 Do I even need to tell you how much fun she had in this puddle and how soaking wet she was at the end? Reason #47 why I buy thrifted stuff for her. My heart rate only slightly goes up when she gets all dirty from playing… 🙂 I mean…could she be any happier?
