 The best part of starting this blog (for me!) is that it made me get in front of the camera with Maya almost every day vs just being behind it!  I always wanted to figure out how to take pics with her using my tripod and self timer, but never got around to trying…until we started this blog.  Documenting these memories of us will be priceless…Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-1 Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-2I have been coveting this sweater from Zara for months!  When it went on sale, I couldn’t help myself!  Oh, and…I may have gotten it in another color too :} Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-3 Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-4 Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-5 Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-6 Blog Navy Zara Boyfriend Sweater Dylan George Vintage Frye-7

I love an interesting back…

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been drawn to clothes that look fairly simple from the front, but then have interesting features on the back.  Mullet clothing if you will 🙂  Low back dresses get me every time.  Cut outs, embellishments, and little surprise when you turn around.  Love it!

Ps-can we all just imagine that I didn’t mess up the focus with the self timer on the full length shots?  Ok, thanks 🙂Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-1I have had these vintage Frye boots for a long time (don’t even remember how long!)  They are a little banged up, but I like the dichotomy of the cashmere sweater, gold jewelry and then worn in boots 🙂 Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-2I already wore this lariat I scored from Gorjana-Griffin last week, and I think it’s safe to say that you will be seeing it a lot more.  Love it! Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-3 Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-4The only bad thing about low backs or cut out backs.  What to wear under it?  I’ve dared to wear this with nothing and just a bra, but most times I put a cami or a long sleeve t-shirt under it. Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-5 Completely unrelated, but I tried ALL summer to get Maya to wear this hat-no go!  Suddenly in the last month, she’s become obsessed with it…  OK! Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-7 Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-8Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-6And then….I remembered that the last time I wore this EXACT OUTFIT, I was a little more than 8 months pregnant!  I mentioned before how comfortable these jeans are.  SO wish they still made them!!  I wore them throughout my entire pregnancy and still wear them now-obviously 🙂

So…here’s a little flashback for you.  I promise, I’m wearing the boots too 🙂Blog Rachel Pally Cashmere Cape AG the Tights Vintage Frye Boots-9On me… (both now and when I was pregnant :))
