Back when…if it was raining…I still got dressed!

Honestly, I barely had the mental bandwidth to get through the day sometimes, much less get dressed in something other than sweats.
🙈
The funny thing is that getting dressed for me is a total mood booster! Yet, I just couldn’t do it….
😕
SO thankful for @TheMomEdit and their #TMEStyleCHallenge 🙏🏻 I feel like they always do these RIGHT when I need them! The minute they announced it, I felt myself getting excited. I started brainstorming outfits, which may seem trivial, but for me…it’s just FUN!
🤗
Today is the first day, and it was “Layer a House Dress”.
🤔
First off….what IS a house dress? Well….ever so helpful google says-
😆
“A house dress is a type of simple dress worn informally at home for household chores or for quick errands.”

I’m not going on errands, but I wore it to Instacart my Costco groceries today!
💃
I added a long duster sweater (basically a robe!), a vintage belt, some leather leggings, and fun booties.

Promptly lost the belt, leggings, and shoes right after I shot these, and am now back in my super comfy house dress.
🤣
The challenge goes on for the entirety of February. Who wants to join me??! I’m hoping I can convince Maya to do a few with me 🥰
👯‍♀️
Tomorrow is “Mix Prints”

Editing to add in real time (currently as I’m catching up…3/25/2022-I have a YEAR to catch up on!)  I sooo miss getting dressed.  I honestly miss taking a shower every day (I know…GROSS, but…I can’t be bothered the last 10 months-SPOILER).  I’ll share soon why-If you follow us on Instagram, you know….  Not sure why I think I need to catch up on fashion posts before I share….so..maybe I won’t!  BUT…I will, because, I need things to be in order!  Especially as I look back on this, AS I WILL!!  AND, as I. hope Maya will.

Knit Jumpsuit + Distressed Denim Jacket + Studded Tennis Shoes

 We’ve been super lucky to have a LOT of warm sunny days, but it’s still interspersed with some chilly mornings and evenings.

This weekend was totally bonkers.  Super sunny one then an hour later a down pour.  THEN…sunny again, oh and wait…more rain! That means lots of layers in the morning, that you peel off during the day, and then add back on at night… 🙂 I’m seriously obsessed with knit jumpsuits now!  You literally feel like you are wearing pajamas!  Yet, you cam make them look put together too! These have a fun stripe down the side. How cute are Maya’s pink Docs!!?? Our neighbor came home.  Don’t mind us… 🙂 She kills me with these poses!

Keeping it Real…
A) Truth be told….I took these THREE MONTHS AGO!
Oh, the days of blogging daily are GONE!
BUT…c’mon, Seattle weather means I can pretty much insert anything in and make it seem like I
just took it!
And…I have no idea what was going on here (because…3 MONTHS AGO!) but I’m assuming a
neighbor walked by haha.  As they do.
I can’t even… I almost didn’t post this, because…my LORD…what is that FACE?!!  But obviously
Maya sees that all the time, so…wow.  Sorry Maya.  And if you scroll down to these “keeping it
reals” well, this is IT! haha 🙂
Me adjusting, and Maya…well, who knows what that face is for 🙂 Us just seeing our neighbor… 🙂
And can we talk about Maya’s gap toothed SMILE?  GAH!  I miss it!
