Another day, another mommy and me matching look! I can’t get enough of these and am taking full advantage of twinning with Crosby while she has no clue. I know in a few years she will probably want nothing to do with this and want to wear princess dresses and ugly stuff from Justice. Am I right?

I was sent this denim dress from Rebecca Taylor a few months ago and waiting for the right time to wear it. The perfect occasion never came up and I got tired of waiting so I pulled it out for a Sunday morning family Target run. Looking back we should have taken at least one photo in the store since our shoes perfectly coordinated with the red shopping carts.

But back to my dress, minus the cutout up top, it reminds me of something my mom would have worn in the 90’s. Remember when denim dresses were all rage? I think it was when GAP was in it’s prime.

I usually stay away from an in between hemline like this one. I think they look best on taller gals. It’s not quite midi, but definitely not a mini. They make my legs look a little on the short side, but something about this dress made me want to take the plunge and I’m glad I did.

It’s getting harder and harder to take pictures with a toddler. Crosby was much more interested in picking up the rocks in front of us than standing with me. But, I’m so glad we take pictures with her often and know I will love thinking back to these fun memories one day.

After our day of wine tasting last Thursday we checked in to our hotel to freshen up before the wedding weekend events officially kicked off. I was packed pretty lightly for this trip, fitting everything into a carry on. But I still managed to bring two options for the Thursday night welcome dinner. This striped midi dress was the option I didn’t end up wearing because it was just too hot.

And since I didn’t wear this dress I didn’t wear this clutch either. Luckily we photographed this look since the clutch took up a lot of valuable room in my suitcase! Note to self, a large bamboo clutch isn’t the best thing to pack when you’re trying to save space.

I know it’s been a long hot summer across the country… and California is really experiencing the heat. It’s been in the 80’s and humid at home so I was prepared for more of that. It was nearly 100 each day up there with really equally humidity. I really tried to make this dress work… I thought if my hair was up it might help, but I was still too hot. Thankfully I packed a lighter weight romper to wear to the welcome dinner. Although, since I packed so lightly I ended up wearing it again the next day for more wine tasting, so get ready to see it on here next week.

We stayed at the Calistoga Motor Lodge, which is where these photos were taken. The location was really great for us for the weekend and the hotel was really cool. We had a suite that had an attached sitting room and it was nice to have the extra space. The pool area was really cute, but I wish we’d had more time to lounge and check out the spa.

Point me towards a bright turquoise painted bus and I’ll be happy to pose in front of it. 🙂 Another look we shot in the arts district of Las Vegas. There were colorful murals everywhere you looked so it was hard to stay focused when shooting these.

When we were in Vegas a couple of weeks ago we shot a bunch of looks in the downtown arts district. The area was so colorful with so many murals all around – AKA blogger heaven.

My first outfit post in what feels like forever! Not sure how but a certain one-year-old has completely taken over my life blog lately… but I’m getting back to regular content around here. 🙂

A few weeks ago I went on a little spring shopping trip after a closet purge and came home with this top. I try to clean out my closet every other month or so… it’s so necessary with the amount of clothing I accumulate. Anyway, I noticed I was lacking some fun springy things and loved everything about this top. The colors are perfect for spring/summer/even winter in Southern California and I love the tie detail. I plan on wearing it again this week with my new “mom jeans.”
