Mommy + Me Matching Lilly Pulitzer Outfits

This weekend I finally got myself and the girls into our first matching Lilly Pulitzer outfits! I bought these well before Georgia was born and I guess I didn’t anticipate her being such a tiny nugget because it’s already fall and she just now fits into the dress! But luckily the Florida weather makes these outfits still very much appropriate. 

How To Find Coordinating Family Outfits

Thank you to Burkes Outlet for sponsoring today’s post. Since I haven’t been going out much at all due to concerns around the coronavirus, I did all my shopping online at burkesoutlet.com and you can expect the same great prices and quality items as you can find in store. I will also say that I was pleasantly surprised with the shipping speed! My order arrived within 2 days of ordering!

If you know me then you know I love pictures (and videos) of my family! As much as I share online, I take even more than I show! While our kids are little I have made it a priority to do family photos frequently, which can get pricey when you’re talking coordinating outfits, photographer, etc. We usually get a professional photographer once a year and use a tripod and our own camera for the other times, but that’s for a whole other post! Today let’s focus on outfits for the whole family, without breaking the bank!

Tips for Finding Mommy and Me Outfits Anywhere

By now you are well aware of my love for mommy and me fashion. Matching with Avery is so much fun for me and it's pretty much all my childhood dreams coming true. I was very into playing with dolls as a little girl and loved buying their clothes more than I did buying them for myself! Now I have a real life baby doll and while she is a lot more work than those dolls, she is pretty freaking cool :)

Warm Winter Part 2

 Welcome to day 2 of my Warm Winter series (catch up on Part 1 here)! Today's outfit is a little more formal and could be worn to a work holiday party or for date night!

Funny story - when I was little I used to ask my mom her favorite color and she said black and I would get mad and say that didn't count. Well guess what, black is one of my favorite colors now too!

2. This is just part 1 of a 4 part series I'm calling 'Warm Winter' (details below).

3. Read through to the end for an awesome giveaway that I personally wish I could win myself!

Tips For Shopping Sites like SheIn, Romwe

We've all seen the ads for super cute, on trend clothes at amazingly low prices and thought - what's the catch?  Well technically there isn't a catch - the clothes tend to look like the picture, of course the quality isn't what you'd expect from a boutique or department store, but for the price it's decent, and shipping might take a little longer than your Amazon Prime orders, but other than that it's pretty legit!

Sites like SheIn and Romwe are great places to get trendy pieces without breaking the bank.

Modest Crop Top and Shorts Outfit

One of the cutest trends right now is crop tops.  Luckily high waisted bottoms are also on trend to compliment them.  

I'm guessing there are other girls and women out there like me who consider themselves modest.  I'm not extreme about it in anyway - as you can probably tell from following along on my blog - but I'm not one for really baring my mid-drift either.

I also am larger up top which can make the whole crop top thing that much more difficult to navigate.  But when I came across these shorts at Bloomingdale's I knew I was going to have to give it a go in order to showcase the gorgeous detailing at the waist.

This side-tie crop top is great for so many reasons:

1.  The fabric is not stretch - so it isn't going to hug anything, which in this case is a good thing.

2.  It's a longer crop top.  I definitely still consider it a crop top but it is long enough to cover the girls and still hit at my natural waist.

3.  The tie adds just a tad extra coverage, plus it's super cute!

These shorts are a must have too because they're so stinkin cute but they're also the perfect length for those of us with thighs!  I feel like every store has shorts on models with really skinny legs and I find they never look as good on me as they do the model.  Which is fine, it's just nice to find high waisted shorts that are also long enough!  

My purse is a Kate Spade from a few years back, here is the most similar one I could find, though it is mostly white with blue accents (still adorable!).  But if you ever see a navy purse snatch it up because this thing is a staple in this preppy girl's closet!

Shoes are Jack Rogers jelly sandals - super comfortable and won't get ruined in the rain!  Though they are slippery if you do get them wet...

Ok - so - I want to know what you think of this look!  Are you somewhat modest like me?  Would you wear this?

Neutral Navy | Off the Shoulder Top

To me navy is an absolute neutral.  It goes with everything and looks good on everyone.  You could consider it the 'summer black' because it is a bit brighter and softer.  

I am in love with this bell sleeve off the shoulder top from Bloomingdales (similar here and here)!  Off the shoulder (or OTS as you'll see on Instagram) has been on trend since the fall and I don't see it going anywhere for summer.  This top is special because it is truly navy.  I sometimes find it hard to find anything that is such a deep, rich navy.

The skirt is also from Bloomingdales (similar here), both pieces are from my favorite brand - Aqua.  The fitted style of the skirt makes it a perfect match for this flowy top.

My shoes are the Platinum/Gold Palm Beach Sandals, and my purse is a Kate Spade from a few years ago.  Last summer they had a very similar style but in pink!  Maybe navy will come back this year, or some other fun color!

I just had to share the last picture because as my husband and I were doing this shot the bird landed just so and it looks like we're talking - haha!  B says it looks like I'm Snow White summoning the animals!  

So - what do you think of navy?  Do you consider it a neutral or just a fun color to wear?     

April Instagram Roundup!

So as it turns out writing your February Instagram Roundup at the end of March doesn't give your March Roundup much of a chance.  But the past is in the past (#letitgo) and so we must focus on the now - which just so happens to be the end of April aka the PERFECT time to do an April Instagram Roundup #win

Quick note before we dive in - expect to see lots of new and exciting things happening around these sparkly parts.  And very soon, lots of awesomeness is in the works!
