Sometimes Maya is my “pop of color”

I wore this outfit when the Huz and I went out to dinner with my parents. These pants from H&M are a liiiiittle hard to get on, but they have an elastic waist so they are totally comfy.

It was the perfect time to go all out with the color on Maya. This is so not me (therefore not her haha) to wear such bold colors and flowers, but I love it! She had to wear the hat (she wears it around the house constantly)! Hey, it kind of matches, so we went with it! I’ll admit that I didn’t realize just how tight these pants were until I looked back on these pictures :{ Darn holiday indulging! Kind of looks like she’s break dancing! Nope, just jumping in the puddle 🙂 I could eat her up, she’s so flipping cute… On me…

I am such a sucker for Converse. I snap them up every time I see them at a thrift store, and I may have screeched when I saw these silver glitter ones for Maya. And $4?!! How could I not??? A little scrubbing on the rubber part, and they look almost new! Mine are also thrifted. I think for $10? Not as good as $4, but I still love them 🙂

I have more black sweaters than anyone in their right mind should have. I mean literally… Being black, they all blend together in my sweater shelf, so I forget what I have!

Anywho…I may have bought another one from Zara… It wasn’t on sale, but at $25.90, I couldn’t pass up the fun button up back!!I am not 100% sure about wearing cropped jeans with booties, but I thought I’d give it a try. Yay or nay?? Isn’t this fun? A reverse cardigan! I realized I hadn’t been doing as many me with Maya pics. That’s mostly because it’s been SO COLD! I have been running outside the minute she goes down for her nap, snapping a few pics with my tripod in 5-10 minutes, then run back inside. The ones I get of her alone are usually earlier in the day and she’s just running around the neighborhood. Too cold to sit still and pose with mom 🙂 Well, I figured I’d give it a go today. I think she forgot how fun the self timer was… Then it was back to balancing… On me…

I’m a big believer in putting things together that you like, and that look good on you. Rules schmules (to some extent!). Then…fingers crossed they work. And if they don’t, oh well. At least you like what you’re wearing. If you feel good, chances are you look good too 🙂 I can’t tell you how many times I tried to make something work that I liked on someone else, but felt so uncomfortable all day that I hated it/couldn’t wait to fling it off when I got home.

Now, there’s really nothing odd about this outfit. At least I don’t think there is? haha. The Pink Polka Dot Vans are a little playful (totally remind me of my childhood), and the jacket is a little edgy. Not exactly the “perfect fit”, but I was comfortable, so it was a win 🙂 LOVE the details in this Doma jacket. I bought it when I worked at Sway and Cake for a year on the weekends (9 years ago??). Yeah, THAT was dangerous… Anyway, it still totally current and still looks great! Baby Bear is back again… He makes her so happy, that if he’s in every shot from here on out, I don’t care! On me…

Printed Denim + The “non diaper bag” diaper bag.

2 Replies

I am so drawn to printed denim (another fun way to mix up my denim addiction!), yet I get caught up on how to wear it. I’ve decided I’m not one of those people that can mix prints and get away with it, so I keep it pretty simple with my top choices. Over the summer I wore these with a plain white/black T or tank top. Now that it’s getting colder, I thought I’d stay with the same simple color choice.

Btw, Seattle, you are killing me with this weather!!! One minute-pouring. The next minute-sunny. All the while…WINDY. Ugh.

It hit me today that I’ve only shown the bags I carry in one post. As a mom, we all know that the diaper bag is a staple in our day to day life. I was determined NOT to get a diaper bag that looked like a “diaper bag”, and was giddy when I found this one by Nest! The best part is that it doubles as a camera bag for me, and the lining also zips out for easy cleaning/turns it into just a cool purse! Maya’s take on the printed jeans…On me…
