What I Wore | My Summer Uniform

WhatIWore: I have been living in jean shorts this summer - paired with either a tee shirt or a white eyelet or peasant style top. Add in a hat and sandals and you’ve got a recipe for a really easy outfit. What’s your summer uniform?

What:
Hat: Self Made
Blouse: Self Made (read more about how I made it here)
Shorts: J.Crew (similar here and here)

Where: Hanging with my lil dude and later for a little mommy/son date

On a random note, Felix hasn’t wanted to be held in photos lately so today when he jumped into my arms I was so excited to get us together! #framers

What I Wore | Spirit of Summer

WhatIWore: Felix and I have had such an awesome summer so far. Since I’ve been spending more time with him and less time at my computer, it’s almost felt like the summers I had when I was a kid! I remember getting off the bus after our last day of school and thinking how endless the summer felt and how much possibility there was to have fun. And that’s how I feel playing with my son now! 

I’ve kept my summer wardrobe super easy - either jean shorts and a top or dresses (which were in storage for the most part while I was pregnant or nursing!) So it’s nice to just throw on a hat and sandals and a dress and go. For Felix our issue is more about staying on top of laundry because this kid loves to get dirty! I picked up these outfits at Old Navy (today’s post sponsor!) I love how cute Felix’s little arms look in a tank top (which reads “Live every day like the first day of summer”) and the printed shorts are great at hiding little grass stains (because he wears the same clothes all day).  

I just love these photos of us playing together. Felix has a ZEST for life (all caps!) and he brings us so much joy. We’re absolutely embracing the spirit of summer - I hope you are too!

What I Wore | Too Cool

WhatIWore: Hello heatwave! It’s been so hot here lately that we’ve been doing most of our outside time in the morning or evening (or at the pool). This is what I wore out to breakfast with my boys last week. I ditched the jeans for shorts by mid day, but felt crisp and cool at 9 am. 

What:
Shades: Karen Walkers
Tank: Old Navy, via giftcard
Jeans: J.Crew (I ripped ‘em)
Bag: Milly
Shoes: Clark’s gift

Where: Breakfast at the Village Deli

Heads up! This post was brought to you by Old Navy! Thank you for supporting the brands that make What I Wore possible! 

What I Wore | The History of Stripes

WhatIWore: I recently read something cool - classic Breton shirts have twenty one stripes to represent Napoleon’s victories against the British. I double counted and oui! this shirt fits the bill! 

Something else I noticed just as Adam began snapping today’s outfit photos…

I’ve been wearing versions of this outfit a lot lately. At the lake last weekend I wore the same tee (seen here) and jean shorts every day. Last weekend, it was an older striped tee and mom wide leg jeans and the same hat-skirt-sandals-adorable baby in my arms-combo a couple weeks before that.  Ya know what they say #ifitaintbroken….
