Leopard, Stripes, Faux Leather and a Flower Girl

"I held somebody's hand,"
Pigtails exclaimed when asked what she did in New Jersey.
She got to be a flower girl -- for the first time
(since last year she ran off just as she was supposed to walk down the aisle).
Then Pigtails flashed a big smile,
"I had to have a boyfriends."

LEOPARD PRINT SKATER SKIRT - Nordstrom Rack
BLACK CARDIGAN - Motherhood Maternity
STRIPED TANK - Foreign Exchange
BLACK WEDGE BOOTIES - Target
BRACELET - J Crew

DENIM LEATHER MOTO JACKET - Forever 21
SWEATER TOP - Irene's Story (swapped)
JEGGINGS - Kohls
CHEVRON NECKLACE - iSanctuary
BOOTIES - Rag and Bone (gifted)

Here's what I wore this weekend.  I found the leopard print skater skirt on clearance at the Rack for $12.  I really liked that it had faux leather accents.  I decided to pair it with stripes and some wedge booties for church.  The other outfit I wore to see a play.  The denim and leather moto jacket I found at F21 for $8 when they had a crazy sale.  The v-neck top I got in a swap with my friends.


Flower Girl

I love a hint of faux leather, it really makes an edgy piece even more fabulous.  I especially can't help myself when I find that piece on clearance.  Unlike last year's flower girl, it's impossible to run away -- I just have to buy it!!!

Stripes, Sequins and Birds

"Mommy, what about this one?"
Princess Sparkles said as she showed me a dress.
I told her I thought it was a little sequin-y for me.
"I want to choose a dress for Mommy,"
Pigtails exclaimed as she showed me a birdie print one.
I laughed as I realized the girls were showing me dresses they would wear.





The striped dress is something I got in a swap from Fedora.  I love the cut outs on the shoulder and I decided to pair it with my navy Newbury booties.  The second outfit is my uniform of denim cut offs, t-shirt, cardigan and booties.  The turquoise cardigan I got at Target for $15.  The t-shirt came from Gingham in a swap.  And the fringe booties are a fave pair I got from F21.





I'm still loving my navy booties.  They can be dressed up or down.  And they really do go with anything, even a sequin or birdie dress!

Navy Rag and Bone Newbury Boots and a Taxi

"Mommy, have I ever been in a taxi?"
Princess Sparkles asked me as we drove around.
I told her she probably had but I couldn't remember.
"Well, Daddy knows everything so he'll know if I've been in a taxi.
He even knows what 100 + 60 is."


NAVY SHORTS, BLACK SHIRT - Target
HEART CARDIGAN - Nordstrom
NAVY ANKLE BOOTIES - Rag and Bone

BLACK ROSE TANK, BRACELET - swapped
STRIPED SKIRT - Old Navy
FEDORA - Eugenia Kim for Target
FLIP FLOPS - Rainbow


The first outfit is another pair of Target shorts I bought for $7 (the green ones I wore in the last post).  The cardigan I found at Nordstroms.  I liked the heart print and it happens to match perfectly with my new navy Rag and Bone boots that Camouflage so kindly "bought" me for our anniversary (I found them at American Rag for 50% off!!!).  In the second outfit, I wore my Old Navy maxi with a swapped black tank and fedora.  Everything always looks more dressed up with a fedora.


Princess Sparkles celebrates her 6th bday with a sundae!

I was thrilled when I/Camouflage bought me these awesome Rag and Bone "Newbury" booties.  At first I wasn't sure how many things would match with navy, but I guess it's the new black!  Camouflage definitely got me exactly what I wanted for our anniversary.  Apparently he does know everything.
