Eyelet will forever be associated with Summer in my mind. Didn't every little girl have an eyelet dress?
Today's post brings you a modified, more contemporary version that can be worn with jeans or a skirt for dressier occasion. I suppose this is my favorite uniform of all: a boxy top with interesting details, distressed denim and a good pair of heels.
No one could ever accuse me of not knowing what I like.
Read MoreWell, hey there little photo-bomber! Someone didn't want to watch from the sidelines so you know what we did? We said, ok...put on a coat and keep your pj's on sister! It's photo shoot time!
Lola is my shy child but she would not let go of my leg so we went with it. Ducks are so in, y'all!
Read MoreAbout this. Truth...these photos were taken about four weeks ago. Second truth...I saw flurries again yesterday. So...waste not, want not. The colors are Spring-y, no?
Third truth...I'm trying. (hence the lateness of today's post)

My husband and I spent a glorious late afternoon turned evening date night catching dinner and a show in the city this past weekend while our little nuggets had a sleepover with the grandparents.
While we didn't sleep in at ALL (Daylight Savings...you're a drag) we did throughly enjoy a lazy Sunday morning filled with coffee and the news. Not Bubble Guppies. It's the little things...

Recently, I was turned onto Maude from a fellow blogger and fell in love with...well, all their inventory! Especially this sweater. It's the coziest and puts a smile on my face which is worth something in the dead of winter!
Read MoreLast week I got to go on not one but two date nights with my husband. I took the entire week off! It was just what the doctor ordered. Uninterrupted conversation, some good food and lots of laughs. Parents needs this once in awhile.
That and a break from the holiday madness and year end pressure.
Read MoreWhat a week! I was so relieved when Friday hit. Not only is it a welcome change to sift through my denim piles; it was also nice to mix up some layering pieces as well. Between a very FT job, one ear infection, one sore throat, a broken car handle and crappy sleep - this was about as creative as I could get.
Looking back in retrospect, there's nothing not to love about this outfit. It's still polished enough for a Friday but relaxed enough without looking sloppy.
