Spring Plaid

May 23, 2016

Plaid? In the spring? Yes. Don’t think you have to tuck your plaids away until fall. You’ll see mine all year long 🙂 

Our weekend was filled with fun + friends. We met some friends at a little fair on Saturday. Harper loved riding the train and dancing to some good tunes. (She must take after her mama.) It was so much fun seeing her run and discover new things. AND, I got to eat cotton candy. It was a good day.

It was sunny and in the 60’s, so it was a perfect plaid + denim day. I recently splurged on my plaid shirt (similar style here and here) and so glad I did. I’ve been living in it. It’s super soft and covers the booty if I wear leggings. Win. Don’t worry – if you don’t want to splurge, here’s a less expensive version.

Now, let’s get to the REALLY good stuff: my new tote. I’m obsessed! Not only is it super cute, but it’s reversible. AND it’s under $50. So really, it’s only $25. (Makes total sense to me.) I’ve been using it as my everyday mom + diaper bag. I might just have to get one (two) of the other colors. 🙂

For those of you who follow me on Instagram and have been asking about the gray denim I posted a couple of weeks ago, here they are! They’re almost like leggings and perfect to dress up or down.

Here’s to a wonderful week!

    Perfect casual weekend look! You make the plaid look chic, which I feel can be pretty hard task…at least for me.

    LOVING the plaid! I am a huge fan. Every time I wear it, I swear my husband says “is that new? I’ve never seen it before” My answer always is “I’ve had it for years!” Haha Oh well, plaid compliments different colors with what you are wearing, so I supposed it could look new!

After working as a fashion executive for almost a decade, I’m now a stay at home mama to 3 kids and live on the North Shore of Chicago. I spend my days shopping online, decorating my new home and trying to get in a good workout, all while trying to play with my kids and getting the baby to sleep. Mom life is hard, but it can be sweet… XO

The OG. 🐶🥰    One of the questions I’m The OG. 🐶🥰 
 
One of the questions I’m asked most frequently is: How old is Scout?  
(Followed up by: Is he wearing a diaper?) 
 
My boy will be 18 in July (time to get a job) and yep - he wears a diaper.  👴🏻
 
Scout has been my longest relationship. I got him when he was 10 weeks old and we lived in Atlanta. He’s completely deaf and has cataracts in both eyes. His hips are worn out and he’s on arthritis medication. But man, he still has so much...life.  
 
I’ve been wondering lately if I’ll know when it’s “time.” When I’m keeping him around for my life, rather than for his.  
 
My heart hurts to think about it. For now, I’m trying to make his life as easy as possible and give him a whole lot of love...
