What I Wore | The Sound of Music

         

WhatIWore: We did something so great this weekend - we went to a sing-a-long viewing of The Sound of Music. I remember  watching it on tv around Christmas time when I was a little girl and it’s one of those movies I’ve pretty much memorized word for word. Saturday was my first time seeing it on the big screen and what a difference! I had chills and teared up so many times! It was also Felix’s first time in a movie theatre and he did great, but we only stayed for the first hour and a half.

I wanted to look Christmasy but it was nearly 70s degrees out! I opted for something that slightly references a 1950s winter look - the small fair isle sweater, full skirt and booties. I think it’s because of all of the old school holiday movies, but I always want to dress in vintage or retro styles during this time of year.

What I Wore | Christmas Casual

WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore yesterday for a little mommy/baby playgroup with some of my girlfriends. I’ve been into the idea of retro sneakers for a while now and decided that a pair of black and white Nikes would be super practical for my current lifestyle. Day in, day out, I wear a lot of black and white, but ‘tis the season y'all, so I threw on a Christmasy red plaid scarf. In the spring when it’s still chilly I can see swapping it out for a pastel like mint to feel fresh. 

When: December 16, 2014

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Scarf: Talbots, gift (currently 40% off)
Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors
Turtleneck: J.Crew (30% off with code JINGLE)
Jeans: Target
Sneakers: Nike, via J.Crew

Where: Playgroup

And while I’m thinking of sneakers - what do you call them? Growing up my mom always called athletic shoes “tennies” and when I was in high school, I just called them running shoes. 

What I Wore | Twinsies

WhatIWore: The red lips and big shades might scream glamorous, but this outfit actually reminds me of Adam! Five out of seven days a week he’s in a red plaid shirt and corduroys during the cold weather months so I had to give him a heads up not to match me while we got dressed this morning. On the other hand, I love coordinating outfits with Felix. So let’s talk about being matchy matchy with your baby…

When: December 7, 2014

What:
Shades: Target, older style
Necklace: Baublebar, older style (similar HERE)
Checked Plaid Button Up: J.Crew (similar HERE)
Shawl Collar Sweater: J.Crew Factory (on sale!)

Bag: Vera Bradley, gift
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Breakfast with my boys, walk around the neighborhood

The other day it was matching cream sweaters, but today I put him in this. The waitress at breakfast said how she loves seeing babies dressed like adults and I have to agree! In our house, there’s always a pretty good chance Felix will be dressed to match either his mom or dad.
