Jeans, Kenneth Cole Reaction; top & shoes, J. Crew Factory; clutch, Gap
This outfit is all about 2 of my fave purchases of the month: that Gap clutch, and my J. Crew factory top. So what if they don’t really go together? My love is the glue that holds it all together.
Bwahahahaha.
Ok, I’m back. I felt very summery in this outfit, even though my shoe choice kinda dampens the vibe. I even dug out my ancient hoop earrings (Banana Republic circa last decade), which always scream “summer” to me for some reason. Here’s a closer look at my other joolz:
Bracelets, J. Crew & Tiffany
Yellow is kind of an underrated accent colour, no? But I really dig it with blue. And grey. I assure you that, weirdly lit photos aside, my jeans are actually grey, not light blue.
Shorts, Joe Fresh; tee, vest & shoes, Old Navy; bag, MbMJ (via consignment)
So, blog photos. Funny things. I have two people who take my OOTD photos. The first one is my mom. She doesn’t get the whole fashun blogger thing, like, at all so her photography is the ultimate in parental indulgence. The second one is my husband. Although he’s a fairly supportive fashun blogger husband (he does all the IT-related stuff for me, generally without grumbling), he positively delights in mocking the photo-taking aspect. Specifically, my posing. So our “shoots” (does it count as a shoot if it involves an iPhone and two screaming kids in the background? I digress) usually start all normal-like …
He loves to narrate every single one of my poses, and I can’t even be mad because he. totally. gets. it. right. One more inch to the right, aaand tilt the chin half an inch, aaand freeze!
The snort laugh phase
That is me, by the way, trying to pull myself together and failing.
OK, I’m ready to take a photo now … wait, what do you mean we have to go?
Almost there. Oh, look, time’s up.
P.S. Did you notice mah nail polish? Matchy!
Nail polish from Joe Fresh (but don’t buy it because the formula sucks)
Dress, RACHEL Rachel Roy (via consignment); shoes, Ivanka Trump; clutch, Rebecca Minkoff; earrings, J. Crew Factory
By now, y’all are probably really tired of hearing me proclaim my love for Rachel Roy dresses, so … I won’t do it. You’ve seen this dress before (here and here), and it is still as awesome as ever. Now, at least, you can see it in its full glory. I don’t think I’ve spent $18 on anything more glorious.
ooh, ruching … and hi, there, bra!
Please excuse the extreme squinting, it was a sunneeeeee day. Evening, actually. We gussied up the whole fam and headed off for a dinner date with some of our favouritest people, the kids’ godparents. Delicious Famoso’s pizzas were had by all … including the 10-month old with two toofs. Big fan of the thin crust, errr, crusts, apparently. Gastronomic proclivities run in the family.
