Happy Monday! Today is the first day in over seven months that I’ve made the commute to LA to return to work. If you didn’t know, up until February I worked full time as a wardrobe stylist with the TV show Access Hollywood. I left about a month before Crosby was born and have been busy with her and the blog ever since. I’m only going back part time, but I know it will be an adjustment so bear with me in the mean time. 🙂

On that note, I’d also love to hear from other mamas who have gone back to work after baby. Did anything the transition easier? I plan to post more about this once I get the hang of things.

Should we talk about my outfit? I guess we should since I posted so many pics of it. HA! This top is fun – it has a built in choker that I didn’t think I was edgy enough to pull off when I first saw it. It also comes in a pretty berry color but I felt like I should play it safe with white and I’m loving it! I mean, white OTS tops are no stranger to my closet but I’m liking that this one is different. It’s also a bit longer in the back and perfect to pair with jeans or even shorts if you want a top with a little more coverage.

I feel like with denim trends right now distressed and raw is everywhere. This pair has that uneven hem that is effortless and makes me feel cooler than I am. I’ve worn them with flats (seen here), but because they’re cropped and wider at the ankle I think heels are more flattering to pair with them. This pair is the perfect height for me right now and comes in three other colors at under $50.

Thanks for reading all my ramblings – hope you have a great day!

Lately the most worn item in my closet has been this pair of cutoffs. They’re a little high waisted which is perfect for my post-pregnancy body that’s still hanging on to a few extra pounds. Also they’re what I missed wearing the most when I was pregnant and couldn’t wait to try them on once I got home from the hospital. I’ve been loving them paired with cute tops, like this one. It’s such an effortless look that’s perfect for a weekend brunch, BBQ or just a day spent running errands since it’s a grab and go look.

Another bump look 🙂 These pictures are pretty funny, we took them about 24 hours before I went into labor after a weekend of relaxing and lots of walking. I had no idea I’d have the baby that early and still thought I had at least a week if not more to go.

This top may have been exactly what my closet’s been missing! It’s so soft and feminine so I had to edge is up a bit with these distressed jeans and choker. I’m all about balance 🙂 The blush color is perfect for late summer into fall and even winter, if you live somewhere mild like I do. I think it would look really chic and luxe tucked into a pair of wine colored velvet pants. I’m loving blush and wine together.

I feel like I’ve been non-stop off the shoulder this year, but this top was too good to pass up. I’ve worn it with shorts and pants and am always so comfortable. It’s the kind of top you can wear to dinner and eat a bunch of chips and guac and a few tacos and no one will know the difference. Everyone needs a top like that in their closet.

We’re heading to Miami tomorrow night for Swim Week and I couldn’t be more excited. The last time I was there was on a family trip over 10 years ago! I’ve somewhat started the packing process by pulling out what I know I want to pack. I’ve also made a list of what I want and need to buy. That’s kind of how I handle packing for trips, not as organized as some with lists, but it seems to work for me. Here are a few things I’d love to bring in my carry on.

Happy Wednesday – thanks for reading
