Denim Vest, Chambray, and A Personal Dresser

Mornings are always a challenge.
Getting everyone up, fed and out the door - on time - is nearly impossible.
I really appreciate when Camouflage helps me out.
He often gets cereal, brushes teeth and changes diapers.
The other day he helped get the girls dressed.
It's funny how we each dress the kids...
I like skinny jeans, skirts and mixed prints.
Camo likes t-shirts and cargos.

Monday's Inspiration - Katie Holmes

STRIPED SHORTS - Lamb (thrifted), $6
GREEN NURSING TANK - Glamourmom
OMBRE DENIM VEST - Forever 21, $29
SHELL NECKLACE - gifted from Hawaii
BRACELET - Heavenly Treasures





Today's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Katie Holmes in a chambray dress.  I do wish I had a chambray dress but since I don't I decided to wear a pair of striped chambray shorts (which are Lamb and I thrifted new at GW for $6!) and my new ombre denim vest I got at F21 on a recent shopping trip with my friend, Fancy.  I saw it on the mannequin on my way out and ran back in to get it.  The shell necklace was given to me by my sister, Polka Dots, and the shoes are Vince Camuto thrifted new from GW.

It's so great that someone somewhere decided that denim on denim was no longer a "fashion don't."  Because it's a fun look and super comfy.  Just like my kids' fashion is influenced by which parent dresses them in the morning, I have magazines and other bloggers (and Inspiration Mondays!) to help me with my style!

I bet it is hard! Poor you, I have enough of a challenge getting just ME to work on time let alone others! What a pretty outfit, I still don't understand what chambray is! I was trying to upload my photos to my blog for this outfit just now and wretched Picasa says I am out of storage again, so I will have to wait a day or two! Hope you are ok! By the way, I am having a little givewawy if you are interested or so inclined!x

rlutz said...

Those shorts are such a great find!! Love the ombré effect on the vest mixed with the bright top!!

I can only imagine how mornings are with kids. Plus, I know how some kids can be picky/not want to eat in the mornings. It can just be a struggle all around. I would like to be a personal shopper for kids though! Hehe! If I were paid to dress kids all day, I bet it would be fun!
