As you might remember, this is the top for which I broke my June shopping ban (on June 3rd or something equally ridiculous). Not the only thing for which I broke the ban, mind you – just the first. Ahem. I regret nothing. It’s cute, and blue, and stripy, and cheapish, and I stand by my regrettable-but-not-regretted decisions.
Are you getting bored of my predictable colour combos? Sorry, if that’s the case. Not sorry about wearing them, though. Blue + tan is my jam. It even rhymes.
This guy’s also my jam:
He’s turning 3 soon. I’m in denial. It doesn’t help that he recently discovered the hair on his legs (“like daddy!”), and proudly announced that he’s going to be a man, and go to work, and have his own tools (“like daddy!”).
I. Am. Not. Ready.
Siiiiiigh. Oh yeah, style blog. Once more with feeling.
LOVE that top! It’s a little bit boho with the embroidery, but it has a nice classic shape. I would’ve busted my (non-existent) shopping ban for it too. And blue and tan is a classic combo and one I like too. Why mess with it if it works?
Exactly! I’ve been getting tons of wear out of it, too.
Ha, my nephew is in a manly phase now too, he’s three and wants to be Batman. He’ll always be your baby. And I’m really enjoying the black accessories with the blue/tan combo, I like the contrast.
Haha! I asked my son the other day what he wanted to be when he grows up, and he said Batman. Must be a 3-year old thing 😉
And I totally get what you mean.
Dangit, now it looks like I’m saying my nephew will always be your baby. Not what I meant. Also, when do we get to see the J. Crew tassel/octopus necklace? I never know how to style that type of necklace so I’m waiting to see it in action…
Oh no – I didn’t end up buying that tassel necklace. The octopus comment killed my interest. I hope Adrien gets it … though she will probably make me love it again, and I’ll be sad I passed on it.
Elodie is 3 in September & now We have Felix she seems such a big girl to me- and feels heavy. Three weeks ago I could pick her up easy as anything at full term pregnancy. Now with a 17 day old baby I struge to get her off the ground. She looks huge & it makes me quite sad as she is actually very petite. Amazing how things change (and how hormones make you crazy sad over silly stuff!)
I TOTALLY understand what you’re saying! My son sometimes looks to me like he’s 3-going-on-10 (it doesn’t help that he’s really big/tall for his age), and that makes me so sad – that I missed so much of his baby-ness when I was a scared-out-of-my-wits first-time mom. Some friends of ours just had a baby, and it made me realize my little baby girl … isn’t really a baby anymore either. I enjoyed her first year much more (being more relaxed the second time around) and it feels like it went by too fast. Enjoy Felix’ little-ness <3
