Striped Tee + White Crop Flares (for fall!)

I mentioned on Monday when I wore a “little white dress” that I do not adhere to the “No white after Labor Day” rule. One of my favorite ways to break that rule is white denim. I looooove white denim, and it’s a repeated trend for me here on the blog!

We’ve been having abnormally hot weather this May, but over the weekend it was pretty chilly. It was nice to revisit boots and layers for a few days! Blog John Eshaya Sweater DL1961 Emma Wick Fiorentini Baker 7040 Boots-1 I feel like I should be knocking on wood, BUT… Maya has been more open to my clothing suggestions lately! For the last year, it has been twirly dresses and leggings on repeat! Which…is fine, but I LOVE her in jeans. And honestly, they are more durable for falls!

Stripes + Overalls + Clogs

I have to be honest. I wondered if I was dressing below my age group. When you are over 40, you have to think of these things (GRRRR). I looooove overalls, on any age, so in reality, I don’t really care haha. Honestly, when an outfit is this ridiculously comfortable, you wear it.

All that said, I got a lot of thumbs up from the other moms at preschool drop off, so….I decided to take pics after school 🙂 So…every once in a while, Maya is not in the mood to play and take pics. On this day…she was NOT in the mood. OBVIOUSLY! I can’t help it. This still make me laugh. Sorry, I’m that mom. 😉 So, we left and went home.Oh, but wait. Right in front of our house, she’s happy as a clam? Ok…I think I’ve talked about this before, but Maya has absolutely graduated from the time when I can pick out her outfits (insert sobs from me!!)

Our morning usually consists of me showing her what I want her to wear.

Her saying “Nah…” To just about everything I suggest.

Me trying 3-87 (ok slightly kiddding) other options until she finally likes something (it is often something she’s said “NO!” to 5 other times before this!),and then me getting to pick the shoes and jacket (sometimes)

I’ve suggested this dress about a dozen times, and always got a “Naaaah.” Then she randomly picked it out this day.Seriously? I want to eat her up! On me…

When your kid doesn’t want their picture take, it’s really hard to set up the focus too 😉

Oh, but wait! The “NO PICTURE TAKING!!”did make it home! Thankfully, she got over it…

Menswear inspired…or just actual menswear?

I have been in search of the perfect “boyfriend” jeans. I have a couple that I like ok, but mainly it’s because they are so darn comfortable it’s hard not to like them! But flattering? Not so much. I snagged this pair at a thrift store for $7, and really wasn’t sure what they were. Boyfriend jeans? No, they say “relaxed”. Finally, it hit me why I couldn’t figure it out. They are mens jeans, that were accidentally marked and put in the women’s section. So, they are quite literally “boyfriend” jeans. That is…if I had a tiny boyfriend. Thankfully, I don’t 🙂

Then, these ADORABLE little oxfords came in the mail from Zulily the other day for Maya, so it was a menswear kind of day 🙂 Thought I’d add a little femininity with this vintage flower lariat necklace. I made these jeans for Maya “destroyed” over the weekend, and I LOVE how they turned out. Sooner or later I will blog how I did it. THAT.FACE! On me…
