I have a feeling button-ups are going to be my go to fall uniform. I bought this during the Nordies sale, and didn’t notice the contrasting pattern on the inside of the sleeves. Let me just tell you, I love this cute detail!!    If you are adding plaid, or gingham I really suggest the B.P. brand from Nordstrom.  Their price point for button-ups is under $40 , and they are really good quality. In the past, the button-ups I’ve bought (I won’t name names, but it’s safe to say it’s a popular brand that shirts are just thin I’ve learned) have felt like they were going to rip by simply rolling the sleeves up. Thankfully that isn’t the case with this one, and this one is about half the cost of the other ones. They run really true to size (I’m wearing a small).

On a completely different topic, I’m flying with my little guy again. This will be his third round trip flight, and my second time flying solo with him. I’m a little nervous since he’s 7 months, and a lot more active now. He’s also eating solids now so I’m packing more than just formula and diapers. Wish me luck on Saturday please. If you all have any suggestions of different things that have worked for you I’d love to know. I am so bad about trying to pack everything, but the kitchen sink. (Just kidding kind of!!) Happy first day of fall!!!

I wore this dress a few months ago for a day time family outing while I was in Charlotte. I’m just now sharing it because technical issues are the root of all delays. We went to Freedom Park to take outfit photos, and then hung out around the Elizabeth area for lunch. It was really nice to see how much my home town has grown since I’ve been back.  It was a little surreal to feel a wee bit like a tourist at different points during the visit. This dress was perfect for the weather at the time. Though in all fairness I think it could be perfect for pretty much any weather. Just add a blazer, or coat depending on what time of the year it is.  I bought this dress coral and floral dress online, but I’m always a little hesitant to buy clothes online because I can’t tell how the quality of the fabric, or if it’s going to fit from looking at a picture. This dress was definitely a gamble. I ended up having to have it altered because it fit a little wonky, and ran really big. I’m wearing a medium, but it fit more like a large when I bought it. Thankfully my alterations lady worked with me on nipping it in here and there. So when it was all said, and done this dress fit more like a small now. I’m excited to wear this with booties very soon!!

Over the weekend we did a little home decor shopping. We found a dining room rug!! Woo hoo!! I’m a little excited because all the little pieces are slowly coming together. We moved into our house on Christmas Eve, and have been slowly putting our mark on it. We’ve been taking our time collecting just the right pieces for it. The only room that we knew had to be finished was my sons room. Which in reality technically didn’t have to be since he was in his basinet for about 3 months, but really can you argue with a pregnant women when she has a vision? Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

I promise, I ironed this top prior to wearing it. I think somewhere between riding in the car, and sitting my shirt must have wrinkled all over again. I wore it for the Southwest Blogger Luncheon in the River Oaks area of Houston. It was so much fun to catch up with familiar faces; as well as to meet new faces. I wear a small in this top, and I think it runs pretty true to size. I know sometimes Sheinside pieces can run a little small, but luckily that wasn’t the problem with this top. I love the bright pink color, and that it fits pretty true to size. It’s one of my new favorites. Since the luncheon was on a Saturday my husband, and I decided to make a day if it with little Manny.  It was so nice explore Houston a little more. I  only really  drove around the River Oaks area when we first moved here 3 years ago. Since we live in The Woodlands which is about 45 minutes away, and traffic here is not fun; I hadn’t been back in a long time. Thanks so much for reading, and I hope y’all have a fabulous holiday weekend!!!
