OMG, I am SOOOO ready to go on vacation!!! I want to wear ALL the summer hats, feel the SUN on my face. It’s been TOO LONG.
We are in constant work mode on various properties.
Are we SO lucky to have those properties? YES!! Is it a LOT of work? Also yes.
If you don’t follow us on Instagram, you can hopefully click here to see all the things…
We’ve cancelled 7 vacations during Covid, and I’m SO over it.
I know I’m SO fortunate to even have HAD a vacation scheduled, but…for me… I can handle a lot. I can handle not doing things when it’s planned.
What I can’t handle well, is something planned and then taken away. Last minute change is not something I deal with well, and…It’s been our life lately. ON REPEAT!
So…you can just imagine my mental state….for all the days lately.
On me…
Hat- (Thrifted)
Jumpsuit- Aqua (ebay)
Belt- Vintage (thrifted)
Clogs- Swedish Hasbeens (ebay SCORE for $17)
On Maya…
Top- Crewcuts (thrifted)
Shorts- DIY cut off Levi’s (thrifted)
Keeping it Real…
Well…there are challenges to wearing strapless anything with active children!!
And…said child that still wants to jump ON your outfit and pull it down… Ok, no more strapless outfits for me!
Or…hats?
Good thing she’s so sweet and cute!
(all pictures taken with a shutter release and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
On me…
I just wanted to post this, because it looks like I actually have boobies here!
I’m kind of obsessed with cropped denim lately, and the more flare I can get the better. These…not as flared as I wanted, but since they are my favorite denim, I’ll wear them no matter what!
I was on the fence on the asymmetrical design of this top. I’m usually all for “out of the ordinary” when it comes to design, and…I’m glad I went for it. Love the sides of this top!
Soooooo, this was one of those days that Maya was NOT in the mood. AT FIRST. I asked her if she wanted to go play somewhere, and she had a most definitive “NO!”
And…. this is what she wore to gymnastics free play. I always let her pick what she wants to wear. At this point, that is the going rule always. But…for free play gymnastics, she has the option of her normal leotard (mandatory for actual class), or tights and a top. Today, she chose ALL PINK. I am really not much of a pink gal, but Maya….she’s ALL IN! I swear, she looks like a Pepto Bismol bottle some days, and…I just let it go. Because, if she’s happy, I’m happy. Which…took a while, and if I’m honest, isn’t completely true haha. 😉 
Her hair too. It was down for gymnastics, and then half way through, she was like…
Oh, and that stamp on her neck? Yeah…they get stamps at the end of class, and Maya always wants them on the back of her neck, forehead, feet, and now…neck. I feel like maybe the fact that I have tattoos might bite me in the ass… ;}
I can’t even tell you how much I love this next image. GAH! She is just too freaking sweet.
Like…this.
And, I’ll just file this look under “things to expect in the teenage years….”
