I wish I had waited two weeks and got this white ultra flattering one piece at 25% off {but I still love it, even with the tags attached!}. Last time ShopBop had this sale, I used it as the perfect excuse/ reason to get these classic Ferragamo Varina flats, that you have seen in countless instagrams, at a undeniable discount. If you have been eyeing them, or the hot pink lace bow flats, or these classic one pieces, don't delay! The sizes and availablity won't last long! {Last time, there were no sizes in any varina flats left within 36 hours.}
Recently marked down to $42, with bow sleeves and a ruffle hem, do not hesitate to get this top! I promise you that it will sell out! Paired with gray high rise denim, and this outfit will easily work year around.
Some other white ruffle tops that I currently adore.
I always love the way gray looks with white. Topped off with my Chloe flats, that you are probably tired of hearing about, and a nude cross body = outfit perfection. This top is super soft, super cute and soft enough with a loose body that it is easy to nurse in, or if you are not a mom, be cute and cozy!
Some other ruffle tops all under $50 that have me swooning!
How can you not be in love with this ruffle sweater? {and it is under $70!}
This was one of my most liked Instagram images recently! I love these white sneakers and I have been trying hard to keep them white {no trails runs. No running outside after the rain.}. And I have been living inhigh waisted navy workout leggings. Shop my current favorites below.
How fun is this one from The Loveliest Company??? I found them on Instagram and am excited to place my first order. We will get getting a larger dining room table, which means {duh!} new table linens! I can't decide on a color {I do love this peach} just yet, but I can't get the above monogram out of my head: classic with a neon twist! It would pack a powerful punch on a oversized navy dinner napkin or on a cocktail napkin for early summer Greyhounds on the patio!
not sponsored, I just loved this photo and wanted to share...
By now you know that there is no such thing as too many stripes.
My mom recently saw my closet and laughed! She said that I definitely didn't need anymore stripes...but then I found this dress. Currently on sale for $30, with four colors being on sale for $13, I think it is the perfect excuse for more stripes.
Blogger Truth: these photos were taken the weekend after Thanksgiving. I want to be a part of a community of moms, bloggers and mom bloggers that build each other up, support one another and don't make each other feel guilty. That being said, I am high-fiving myself as I have lost a noticeable amount of weight since these photos were taken. Being a mom with unrealistic body expectations due to social media, oversharing of my journey and thanks to celebrity moms looking like they are 24 and never had a baby within days of having twins, I have to celebrate the little victories. Unlike other mom bloogers that we all follow that only share the perfect pictures and moments, or the moms that have countless help, whether family or nannies, I have been very honest with anyone who asks that this mom stuff is tough!
I have never had more fun and this life with this perfect family of four is better than anything that I could have dreamt of. I wanted to open up a little bit, as I love this outfit, but almost re shot these photos, yet I found myself wanting to be authentic. And there is something great about posting outfit inspirations as my body changes. I shared outfit post when I was pregnant, didn't I???
I have a planned an upcoming post on what makes me such a bad blogger {I just have to have the guts to actually post it!}, but I wanted to share this real moment and these photos. I could easily just not address the slight post baby bump or finally learn how to do photoshop and edit the photos, but I hope this real moment gives courage to any reader who needs it. It doesn't have to be about weight, or social media image, but confidence in enjoying the moment of life that you are currently in, whether that be a perfect Instagram photo, or celebrating loosing the last of the baby weight.
As mentioned in this post, some things will be changing on the home front, literally.
If you are also are about to take on a new design inspo project, or just appreciate home decor, I recommend you follow the below Instagram accounts. {How dreamy would this bedroom be for a little girl???}
Southern California {finally!} got some much needed rain so my navy Hunter Boots were working over time, though I am not complaining! Here, I paired them with my uniform of stripes and my excursion vest and added this navy pom hat {$15}.
Of course, right after I said I wasn't buying anymore shoes, Net-A-Porter had an amazing sale where I couldn't resist these velvet satin trimmed ballet flats. I ended up keeping the navy {duh!} but was very tempted with this ballet pink. These flats come with a grosgrain ribbon or a satin trimmed ankle strap. I haven't worn them with a ribbon yet, {this takes a bit more time and I never have two hands free!}, but I think that it will look super adorable with summer dresses or with my mom uniform of denim rolled at the ankle to show off this adorable detail.
While the shoes are no longer on amazing markdown, there are many shoes available, at all price points, with a similar look. Shop these exact shoes here, or similar options below.
Some might call wearing the same version of a different outfit, or having a uniform boring.
But I call it classic and knowing what works. Are you bored of seeing stripes, blazers and ballet flats on me yet???
I obviously love theses shoes and this bag. But I really love them paired together. Anchoring an oufit with feminine pastels {surprisingly} works year around.
I don't know if it was brave or bold to wear white jeans while dealing with two kiddos in the rain! Getting everyone into music class dry this day was a challenge to say the least, but it was done and I was comfy.
