Statement Necklace and Beaded Cuff - Dressing Up Shorts and a Tank

BLACK VEST - Loehmanns
BROWN TANK - Gap
BROWN SHORTS - Gap
BLACK PATENT STRAPPY WEDGES - Victoria's Secret
AFRICAN BEADED NECKLACE - Heavenly Treasures
BEADED LEATHER CUFF - Heavenly Treasures

I really appreciate how Pigtails can make herself comfortable wherever we go (maybe this is one of those survival skills learned by 2nd children).  Today we went to my friend Shiny's house.  Shiny recently had a baby (her 4th!!!) and we brought her family some lunch and other goodies.  Pigtails immediately made herself comfortable, grabbing a car to push around on the racetrack, picking the "tall chair" to eat her lunch in, and making herself comfortable on the kiddy couch with her sippy cup of milk.  She just made herself part of the family.

Pigtails gets comfortable
Because we were hanging out at Shiny's house, I decided to keep with something comfy.  It was a pretty hot day and I wasn't in the mood to really get dressed up.  I decided on neutrals and threw a vest on (because I'm obsessed with them).  I also wore a statement necklace, just to add a little fanciness to my shorts and tank ensemble.

Anyway, it ended up being a nice relaxing day (Thanks, Shiny!).  It helped that I could wear my casual "mommy outfit."  I guess Pigtails wasn't the only one getting comfortable today!

    I love the combination of black and brown in your outfit! Your black vest is a really great layering piece and I really like your strappy wedges :)

    I sighed as soon as I saw the word Loehmann's....so tragic :( they closed an absolutely fabulous 2 story location in downtown chicago! Seriously found the best stuff there EVER! Your daughters are SO cute and miss pigtails just simply can put her feet up anywhere and relax :)

    You look stylish and classy in this outfit. I like the cut of this gorgeous vest, it;'s flowy and light. Your accessories are the best feature, totally add pizzaz. Love the asian accents. This look is uniquely yours!

    Sometimes all you need is a great statement necklace to take a casual outfit and make it fabulous! You definitely did that with this outfit.

    A statement necklace is the best to jazz up an outfit! The beads on this one makes it even more unique and adds that much more interest!

    Cute outfit. The combo of brown and black isn't something I normally wear. I might have to try it soon.
