Button Skirts & Bodysuits

June 29, 2016 By Kristin No Comments



Hi Everyone — I hope you had a great weekend!

Although I was super-busy preparing for our upcoming trip out to California (yay, so excited!), Jacob, Olivia, and I were able to get out a bit and enjoy the gorgeous weather.  We spent some time exploring the city — seriously, we’ve lived here almost a decade and there’s still things to see!

In terms of my look, I kept things city-chic — I needed a break from all the florals and off-the shoulder madness!  Don’t get me wrong, I love both, but it seems that’s all everyone is wearing this summer!  I found this skirt at Ann Taylor and fell in love! The color is simply gorgeous — a warm copper that grabs and demands your attention.  Plus, I know it’s only July, but it’s never too early to start preparing for fall, and this will make a fabulous transition piece.  Add some suede boots and a chunky, knit sweater, and hello October!

Another hot item this summer is the bodysuit.  As a child of the 90s, I have many memories of these little suits — both fond and frightening 🙂  I must admit, I was surprised to see them back on the fashion scene — although, I guess I shouldn’t be … everything old becomes new again 🙂  This one is amazing — it’s a thick, structured fabric that allows you to go bra-free without worry.  It wasn’t until I put it on that I remembered why so many people loved these things — it gives you that crisp, tucked in, mess-free look without constant re-adjustments, re-tucks, etc.  You look polished and streamlined all day, sitting down, standing up, bending over, etc.. (all of which are a frequent occurrence for a working mother).

And these shoes … Ok, they are definitely something new for me, but I just loved them with this skirt, and they also look great with distressed jeans.  The key for me was to keep the rest of my look sophisticated and classic.  I like a little edge, but not so much that I fall over it!  So, the rest of the look is simple: a small classic snakeskin bag, pearl studs, chunky gold watch, and sleek sunnies.

And for the best part — almost everything here (except the watch and bag), is under $100!  In fact, most of the items are under $50!  The skirt is on sale for 50% off until tomorrow, so get shopping 🙂

yours, Kristin

Another beautiful “weed” … I remember making Another beautiful “weed” … I remember making flower crowns from dandelions as a child … so we made flower crowns today from whatever we could find 🌾 We planted our flower garden very late this year, so we’re still waiting on blooms … there’s beauty in patience, in the unexpected, and even in moments of tragedy. You just have to look to find it 💛 #prayersforuvalde

What gift do you most remember receiving as a kid? What gift do you most remember receiving as a kid?  Was it a toy or an experience?  Was it something you know the giver put some time or thought into?  Kids notice too!  While sometimes a quick toy from Target is necessary, I always encourage Livi and Emme to come up with some sort of experiential gift for their friends. They learn the importance of thoughtfulness, and their friends get to learn a new skill rather than add another toy to the pile!  If there’s a kiddo in your life who loves to paint, this gift is a hit 🎨 … purchase a stack of stretched canvases, paint brush set, and paints. Use some twine to tie it all together!  You can print out the cover to this online acrylic painting tutorial here: https://pin.it/6NGlpSD … I also took a photo of the paint brush stroke guide included with the paintbrush set and included it as well.  For a special touch, purchase a small pouch for the paint and use @canva (free!) to create a personalized name tag 💛 #giftsforkids … Essential 25 Lookbook Look No. 3 coming tomorrow!
