I really like this outfit. I found the sweater on clearance (just before Mother’s Day) at TJ Maxx and have worn it a couple of times already. It’s super lightweight, so I expect I will pull it out often this summer. I layered it here with a white Tank top. Cute with white shorts or jeans, I also love it with navy. These cropped pants LOFT and I got them before I had T.. so 8 years ago. This day I am off to Lillydale and I’ve never been, but from what I’ve seen it looks like sneakers (white Converse All Stars, seen here and here) are a good footwear choice. My other accessories include my new fav necklace (seen here), my clearance watch from Target (also seen here) and my new gold hoop earrings, also from TJ Maxx. I especially like them because they are not quite hoops, but more like loops and they are slightly hammered at the bottom of the loop giving them a little character.

As an added bonus, I just saw these pictures of my dear Olivia the day after I wore this outfit. I must be on the right track, yes?

Baseball Ready!

We were baseball and softball ready on Saturday. Traveling from game to game with the kids and then off to a minor league game at night. This outfit is my casual version of this J.Crew inspiration. The sweater is a Forever 21 trendy buy from 2 years ago. I occasionally shop there when I am looking for something that is particular trendy and I don’t want to spend a lot of money. This trend has definitely stood the test of time. The shorts were another surprising Walmart find, Faded Glory 5″ Twill Shorts. They run big, I bought a size 4 and they fit perfect. The gray tee is so old, I can’t even remember where I got it. Accessories: New fave slip on Converse (seen here and here), navy watch from Target, Ray Ban Aviators, Nike Baseball Cap. The longer necklace was a recent birthday gift from my amazing group of Book Club friends and my own which I bought on Etsy from Caroline Grace Jewelry (maybe out of business, but her facebook page is here).

Camoflage Tee, DIY Cut off Denim, Ray Ban Aviators, White All Stars, White Converse

It’s finally nice enough to ride our bikes to school. YAY! I threw this together very quickly as I was going to pick up my kiddos and snapped a picture just as fast. Inevitably, I am rushing to shower and leave the house just in time to get to school as they are being released. Pick up at 2 means in the shower at 1:30 and I have to attempt to blow dry my hair or it is unbearably flat. So after a barely blow dry, I’m off. The cut off shorts are DIY. The jeans were originally from White House Black Market. I bought them after I lost my baby weight from T, so 7 years ago. I cut them last year and gave them a 6 inch inseam which as frayed to 5 1/2. The distressed grey camouflage tee is Faded Glory (Walmart). I’ve gotten a couple of camo tees this spring. I plan on wearing them with denim and white. My RayBan Aviator (details here) and white Converse (here and here) round out the casual cool vibe of this outfit.

Yes, yes it is. M was just looking over my shoulder as I was editing some photos and said… “Is that my shirt?”, “Looks better on you then it does on me!”. Love him. Anyway, it’s baseball season and I saw an outfit on another blog that I stalk and thought about my hubby’s closet. Great idea! Along with my GAP Skinny Denim Leggings (seen here and here), Converse All Stars (see this post for my tip on keeping them looking whiter longer) and my new bag for spring/summer this Big Buddah bag (TJ Maxx) in a glorious Hot Pink! Also, I did some watch shopping at my favorite spot, Target! I get the best boyfriend watches there for $10 to $20. And extra $10 gets them sized properly for my unusually small wrists. And so my collection grows. This one (similar here) reminds me of the TAG I bought M for our first anniversary. The extra chunkiness of the watch matches the oversized baseball jersey perfectly!
