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….

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.

Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Tee: J.Crew (on sale!)

What I Wore | Mama’s Boy

WhatIWore: Yesterday really felt like summer break to me. Felix and I started the day with a coffee date with my friend Chelsea and then over to Nurse and Chat and checking out a new grocery in town, Lucky’s (errr… this is what I get excited about these days… but it was awesome! I will be back!).  

This tee is actually from the boy’s section, which is kind of cute for the mom of a little boy, right? He’s been such a sweetheart lately and now that he’s moving and grooving (and crawling 60 mph!) we’ve been busy! I can’t believe I’m the mom of a 9 month old. Each stage I keep thinking this is the best stage*, but it just keeps getting better. 

When: May 27, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker, Super Duper
Tee: J.Crew boys (similar options here)
Skirt: Modcloth (old, but cute option here (I have this one too!)
Shoes: Rockport, gift

Where: Coffee Date, Nurse and Chat

*Minus the newborn stage. That was the hardest three months of my life. I did not love that part.
