Classic Sunday

It was a family museum day so off to Exposition Park we went! I was in a breezy, relaxed mood and I this is what I pulled out of the closet that day. It felt right to have an impromptu photo shoot and I love how the pictures reflect the light, playful time we were all having. They actually make me think of the word frolic...come to think of it, that's exactly what we did!

On a Mission

My own take on the military inspired look...start with a pair of cargos, a basic white tee, throw on a vest in a nautical blue...and voila! Opted for a pair of heeled sandals so as not to go overboard (excuse the pun) with the whole theme thing. Simple! I bet you can find something in your closet to do your own version with. Go ahead and attack!

Decided to use one dress to wear four different ways, through different seasons, througout the year...talk about stretching the budget! Which one is your favorite?

Red, White and Blue

My version of the tried-and-true red, white and blue combo. I love the details on this top, the tie-neck, the billowy sleeves...paired with flirty denim shorts and red wedge sandals, it feels classic and a little retro all at once.

On the Boardwalk

Here I am at Santa Monica Pacific Park...and because I'm always cold, had to have the jacket, a scarf and my son's hat. It's always best to dress in layers anyway. The kids had a blast and I skipped the ferris wheel...I would've been shivering AND panicking from the sheer drop down. Imagine getting stuck at the very top...nightmare! All in all, had a grand time strolling around and enjoying living California.

Hammer Time!

My daughter's first reaction..."What are you wearing?!"as she put her hands on my hips to smooth out the pockets. "But it's fun!" I said as I twirled around...a second later, she was giggling too! Then I looked her in the eye and said, "U can't touch this!" she blinked once and laughed some more!..Yup, she gets it.
