ain't got time for that!

i recently acquired this tee with text that reads, "i woke up like this." loved it for a couple reasons; it's grey and it's super soft. once i brought it home i re-read the text and realized how true the statement is for me. since having Lyla, getting ready (brushing my hair and teeth) or dressed (putting on any item of clothing) is no easy feat. i have had to accept the fact i can no longer leisurely get ready and most days i throw on shorts and a tee and... look like i just rolled out of bed. thank goodness messy hair and big sunglasses are a "thing"!

Lyla, however, always looks like a little princess -- she never misses!

::or so her very biased mommy thinks::

all that said, this is just a season and soon i'll have time.... right?!

WHAT I WORE:
shirt/franchesca's

WHAT LYLA WORE:
bow/target
onsie/carter's
moccs/freshly picked

   

oh clothes!

oh clothes! when you really think about them they are the most frivolous and unimportant items to obsess over. yes, they can make or break a first impression - but in this day and age if someone is forming a complete opinion of you based solely on your attire then they have some major issues. the only arguments for "proper" attire are the seasonal elements and the risk of being charged with indecent exposure.

regardless of the above mentioned - i see clothes as such a creative outlet on the daily. whether people choose to admit it or not, they daily express themselves thru their outfits.... no matter how much effort was or was not put forth.

personally, it's fun to dress up or down, to put an outfit together, to try the unexpected, to read up on trends, to appreciate the artistry and deep creativity designers put into their collections, to watch bloggers put forth their interpretations of "what looks good"... i could go on for a while.

the best part about getting dressed is very similar to art -- it's all open to interpretation and personal taste. what one person may love, another may hate.

alright, enough said. here's a fun little outfit featuring white after labor day, a plaid shirt in honor of autumn heading our way (fingers crossed miami),  and the cutest polka dot shoes i got for $9.99 from GAP (originally $34.95 -- deal!).

WHAT I WORE:
glasses/rayban
