Mommy and Me Gingham

August 27, 2019

If I could choose only one pattern to wear for the rest of my life, it would have to be gingham. There's something about it that makes me happy. When I found matching "mommy and me" outfits for me and E, I knew I had to get them for our Sedona trip. I call this "the country club dress" because it has the most perfect collar.

A lot of bloggers I love to follow for style are somewhere around 5'3" so when I order what looked like an oversized sweater on them, it may be a …

Remember the days when bloggers didn't all have professional photographers on staff?? Anyway... I decided to share my phone photos to show what I actually wear during the week! Last week we were on vacation at the Cape (aka Cape Cod), and the temps were in the mid-80s with high humidity. That's definitely a heat wave on the Cape, where it's …
