Today’s #mirrorselfie is brought to you by colleague‘s love of mirrors. This leather-looking skirt is sort of impractical but also fun and challenging to style. You know how I love a challenge!
Anyone interested in seeing #workitblog #ootd posts again?
Since the second child monster was born, I made the choice that it was too much to ask of myself to try to get three humans dressed ready and out PLUS take a series of outfit photos every morning. It just seemed impossible to do all the things and be a half decent mom, wife and employee. And that’s been the case for a well over a year.
Since last week was the 8 year anniversary (yes eight!) of when I started the silly blog, it has me wishing for that creative outlet once again.
A move to a new office building lengthens my commute, but has the benefit of a decent bathroom with a full length mirror. If we all agree that bathroom selfies will be just fine, then I think we can do this!
OK. Teal? yes? These pants have a subtle print that makes them feel fancy. They are just the perfect length too. It has taken me about 4 years but I can almost pull off the half tucked shirt. I've grown so much!
Unless you follow me on Instagram.... I've been pretty MIA for the better part of 4 months.
This little joy is the reason:
Meet Finnegan.
He's a sweet sweet, colic-y, blue eye'd charmer. He's wonderful.
I fell so far behind with posts while pregnant that I have yet to post any of my pregnancy outfits! I continued to take the photos most mornings, but couldn't always find the time/energy with work, my spunky 2 yr old and just being exhausted because pregnancy.
I'm going to try to not apologize for falling behind on blogging because it seems like it was the right choice for me to take care of my fam and myself first. I'd encourage anyone else to do the same.
Now that Finn is almost 4 months old and we're getting into a decent rhythm around here, I'll try to get some of those outfits posted.
Dude, I'm obsessed with leather (i.e. faux leather) jackets right now. This is one my Mom found for me, and it is such a nifty shade of green. It is a very fun one to style. Green can be more of a neutral than it leads on!

How nifty are these pants? You don't really see the geometric pattern on them until you get up close. It's like a special pants secret! Do I get to say things like "my jacket is so mod" because it has no lapel and spiffy metal accents on the shoulder. No really. Its so mod!
I was way too excited about these shoes. I saw them at target and couldn't leave them. They weren't even on sale. I have to admit, I pretty much don't by anything that's not on clearance or on sale. I'm cheap like that.
It is a good thing I have this jacket. I'm a little enamored with it, so I'll probably wear it everyday or two this spring. The bike/unicycle wheels on the top are just too much fun. My advice - if you find a shirt with wheels on it, buy it!
