What I Wore | Morning Light

WhatIWore: We had such a laugh taking these photos today. Felix struts out of the house in a tee shirt, diaper and rainboots and proceeds to put a bucket on his head and stumble around the yard. I guess it goes without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway! I love these two little kiddos so so much! 

When: May 30, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Kimono: Anthropologie
Olive Skinnies: Target
Tee Shirt: Target
Sandals: Clarks (gift from a couple years ago)

Where: Running errands

Outfit wise, I’m doing another simple get up - new olive skinnies from Target, a basic v neck tee shirt and my kimono style shrug thingy that I also wore a couple weeks ago here. We just ran a couple errands this morning and later I’ll probably change into painting clothes and try to wrap up a few projects so I can photograph them and share here! 

Speaking of - we’ve been busy bees at the farmhouse and I’m so excited about our progress. I’ll devote a full post to it this week (please! Hold me to it!) with updates!

What I Wore | Lovely

WhatIWore: This dress brings back good memories for me. I bought it when I was pregnant and then wore it again for one of our first outings when Felix was just a week or so old. I like the way it looked on me then and I like the way it looks now! This is one of those kinds of dresses I see myself keeping forever and hoping someday my teenage daughter will want to wear it.

What I Wore | Forever Young

WhatIWore: The other day I was out running errands and my son fell asleep in his carseat and one turn becomes another and all of a sudden I’m in the parking lot by the craft store. How often does this happen? Too often (replace craft store with Target and the answer is every week). Anyway, I’ve been wanting to make a flower crown forever and I finally got around to it! 

When: June 13, 2015

What:
Flower Crown: Self made
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in Crazy Tort
Dress: ASOS (worn backwards)
Belt: Vintage
Shoes: Clarks, gift

Where: Out to dinner at FARMbloomington with my son and husband

I actually made two crowns and this was my third attempt at this color story. I’ll be honest - I love how beautifully it turned out, but I was a little nervous about wearing it out! Then I remembered I live in a town that’s really accepting and celebrates being yourself so I just went for it. I’m happy I did because I felt so pretty - which is how you should always feel (if you’re going for pretty!) The point - wear clothes (or flower crowns!) that make you feel like the best version of yourself on any given day. You don’t always have to dress preppy or bohemian or norm core. Life is too short to worry about what strangers think of you! 

As far as what to wear with the crown (my starting point for this outfit!) I knew I wanted something on the soft side and I remembered a dress that I first wore last fall. This time, I turned it around to make it nursing friendly and gave it a belt because it’s gotten a little big. It looks like something you could find in a vintage store (if you’re really really lucky!) I just LOVED wearing this and how the photos all came out - especially the shots with Felix. I was hoping to do a maternity shoot with flowers in my hair, but these are even sweeter!

What I Wore | The Good Life

WhatIWore: It might not officially be summer yet, but so far, it’s the best one of my life. Why? Because even though my son is a baby, it’s getting us outside, to the playground and the pool, getting bug bites and suntans, and dirty from head to toe. It just feels like summer. I remember getting off the bus in fourth grade on the last day of school and thinking FREEDOM! We are living the good life.
