Today was such an awesome day! We’re in Tampa for a week and a half so since it was such a long trip I finally had enough time to spend a day with my sorority sister, college roommate, maid of honor & all around bestie Brooke. Even better she has two little girls that are the same ages as Sam & Soph, (and the cutest little boy named Jack who’s cheeks I found extremely hard to not nibble on) I can’t even begin to describe what it’s like to be spending time with someone who was such a large part of my twenties & now we’re watching our little girls play together. ‘Surreal’ would be a good start. I guess we really are grown ups now.
All that to say Brooke mentioned to me that she wished I would share more ‘mommy fashion’ posts on LPM, my girlfriends back home in Maryland have also said the same thing & we got such a great response from the mommy fashion show on ‘Let’s Talk Live’ that I thought, “You know what, maybe I should share some more mommy fashion posts?” It’s amazing how I connected those dots isn’t it? I think the only reason I’ve hesitated is because it takes one of two things to be a fashion blogger, either a good set of cajones or a decent amount of self-delusion. Neither of wish I believe myself to have in abundance. Don’t get me wrong, I LUV my favorite fashion bloggers, it’s just hard to take pictures of yourself & consider what you look like/have chosen to wear to be so good that it’s worth sharing with the internet as a suggestion for what they should wear. Then there’s also that whole part of actually acquiring pictures of yourself, Sam’s tried but she gets a little trigger happy & most of the pics are of my nostrils. Today however my mom was here to take the picture & I really loved what I had on so I figured what the heck, let’s do a fashion post!
Free People Andrina’s Dress (on sale!), Gee Wawa Summer Haze Sandal (looks like the b&w I have is sold out but the cheetah is cute too), Alex & Ani assorted bangles, Turquoise Infinity Scarf, Black Bandeau
So what’s your vote? More outfit posts?
LPM just went to a whole new level. it’s like all of your kids sleeping through the night (in their own beds) after they go to bed early. thanks and can’t wait for more! #happyreader (i know hashtags don’t exist here, but i couldn’t resist.)
Lol! I love it Stephanie, #happyreader = #happyblogger! And yes, it’s amazing what you can do when actually get sleep! While we’re in Florida my girls sleep in my parents bedroom on air mattresses & I get a bed all to myself, it’s HEAVEN.
Yes, more fashion posts! Love the outfit, very cute.
Yes Please 🙂
Cute!! Yes more mommy fashions!!
OMG Sam’s outfit, adorable! I never see little girls in maxi skirts but apparently I should because she looks great. As an adult it’s also easier to move around in a maxi skirt/dress and not worry about it being too short and showing off too much or accidentally flashing someone. I imagine the same is true for kids and since they move around so much more and are less conscious about those things, that’s helpful.
Lol, thanks! You know I was looking at Sam’s closet the other day & realized with all of her maxi dresses & skirts that her wardrobe looks like a shrunken version of mine! I by almost all of her at Target including the one she has on, although it’s from last year…
I like the outfit posts! On a tangent, what Greek organization are you a member of??
I was/am an ADPi from USF (:
I am not a mom and I still DIE for that outfit 🙂 More pleassssseee!
LOVE the fashion posts. Keep em comin!
Love the post, but I think you could totally just call it fashion instead of “mommy fashion”. You’re a hot woman who is also a mom and I think your fashion is awesome, mom or not.
Thanks Laura (:
