Today I am sharing a guide to easy mom style. One of the things you all mentioned in the survey, is more everyday mom style type posts. I have also gotten a few questions about mom wardrobe essentials. I definitely find myself dressing differently for different occasions: work, rare occasions without Ivy not at work, date nights with Russ, and then mom time with Ivy. The later has become the main way I spend my time, and I have found…
How fun is this mixed media bow sleeve top?! The black part is a super soft almost jersey type material, and the white sleeves are an oxford type material with the fun bow detail. I was drawn to it for the $22 price and the practicality of a casual yet fun top I felt like I could wear with Ivy. I added my favorite jeans, a statement necklace, and boots for an easy look. Russ surprised me with a new camera…
This blush and lace combo is satisfying all my girly desires. I am pretty confident this blush skirt is my most worn piece in my wardrobe. It’s long gone, but I am linking some similar options below. When I got this white lace top in the mail, I knew it would pair so well with this skirt. It’s only $18 and really is such great quality for the price (just add a cami underneath as it is not lined). You…
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We celebrated my grandfather’s 90th birthday on Saturday which was so much fun. I wore this white cold shoulder blouse on Friday to get my hair done (hallelujah!) and run some errands. I took the opportunity to wear a fun, non-kid friendly piece when I had a few Ivy free hours. It’s pretty funny, I have gotten strategic about when I wear these types of things as there are relatively…
I’m running behind this week, so I am going to keep this post short and sweet. I cannot seem to figure out how to balance being a mom, going back to work (even part-time), and blogging. Anyway, I love this floral midi dress. I knew I would (especially the under $70 price tag). I have the exact same dress in white (also comes in coral) which is still available. You’ve seen it here for our pregnancy announcement post, styled with my double…
This floral off the shoulder top is giving me all the spring vibes. I love the tiered ruffle sleeves. They are subtly feminine and so pretty. It’s another great piece by one of my favorite affordable brands, WAYF. My top is only $65. I wore this for a really fun bloggers brunch hosted by West Elm Tulsa and Thuy of Hey Thuy. I loved getting to hang out with other bloggers and meet some fun ladies who I had only known…
How cute is this bow cardigan?! I mean, come on. It’s the one I shared during the Shopbop sale last week and ordered myself. We took these pictures on Friday (fighting the wind the whole time), and I planned to wear this exact outfit on Saturday. After seeing the photos, I ended up wearing different jeans. I just decided I wanted a more boyfriend style to balance out the bows on top a little more. I really have learned a…
Sometimes I feel like I need new pieces in order to keep things interesting around here. I have to remind myself the best outfits aren’t complicated, and they often seem to be the ones you all like best anyway. With nothing new to build an outfit around, I did what I often do and went for my tried and true favorites in an easy neutral combo. These black distressed skinnies have been around for a while (first seen here almost two…
I majorly fell for this pleated drop waist dress when I saw it in Gap. I would say it’s not a super typical piece for me, but something about the print just spoke to me. It paired perfectly with my over the knee boots for Russ and my official first dinner date since Ivy was born. My mom was nice enough to watch her last weekend. We had a gift card to our favorite fancy restaurant here in town. Though…
It’s Shopbop sale time! Seriously the best sale! Designer items are discounted majorly which never happens. I usually consider snagging a nice bag or pair of shoes. I rounded up some favorites below. I also looked for denim, tops, and dresses under $100 pre-sale which means they will be a majorly good deal with the sale prices! It’s buy more, save more. For every $200 you spend you get 15% off, for every $500 you spend you get 20% off,…
