As a style and vintage junkie, I love dressing up. For years I was a vintage seller and member of the Wardrobe Remix group on Flickr. Then when I started my old blog, Strawberry Lemonade, “What I Wore” was a regular feature that everyone seemed to like (and I had a lot of fun doing!). I’ve done several outfit posts here on Modern Kiddo, and people have said they’d like to see more, sooooo I’m thinking of making it a regular feature again! We talk so much about kiddo style here, it only seems fair to give mama fashion a little nod too!
I’m by no means a svelte, leggy fashion blogger…I’m just a girlie who loves clothes and vintage. My style has always been a mix of “high” and “low”. I adore vintage, love pretty modern looks and can’t resist a good bargain. Before I married Greg and before I had Wolfie, I was a sassy singleton who spent FAR too much money on shoes (marc jacobs and miu miu where a particular weakness). These days I rarely splurge, and I swear over half my wardrobe comes from Target, but old habits die hard so sometimes you’ll see some high rollin’ brands in the mix.
I think the one thing I have mastered since becoming a mama is not sacrificing comfort for style. Trust me, I have modified my wardrobe quite a bit—and I def have days where I just throw on jeans and sneaks—but I always like to feel just a little sassy. Sometimes it works….sometimes not so much. It’s all about experimenting and having fun! Also keep in mind, I don’t have a baby any more, which gives me more flexibility. When Wolfie was still a baby I couldn’t wear dresses (unless I wanted to pull the whole dang thang over my head while nursing) and I rarely wore necklaces or pins—I didn’t want him to hurt himself on a pokey pin or break a necklace. At the same time I have also totally gained weight since having a child and have a lil buddha belly to content with… so finding creative ways to hide it are also always a concern!
I think this will be fun! Â I’ll be sure to let you know where I bought things. And don’t worry, I won’t be writin’ on all the photos all the time. That was just for this post.
You look GORGEOUS! Oh and please may I have your Marc Jacobs shoes? (See what I did there?)
hee….they are the best sandals ever. they came in blue and green too, we will have to find you some so we can be twinsy’s!
I really love your style! The second outfit is my absolute favorite. SO cute. I wish I could find some dresses like that!
I’ll keep my eye open lady!
you cute cutie xox
I miss you Miss P……I was looking at the photos as I posted and was thinking, “Wow, it’s actually not that colorful!! I have a bunch of black and white ensembles up there…Pilgrim will be disappointed!” hee!
wow- fabulous Mama style, would love to see more of your wardrobe
Oh phew! I’m so glad! Sometimes you think, “Is this awfully vain of me to think anyone gives a flip about what I’m wearing???” hahaha.
Aw, you’re adorable!!! Love it!
Thank you so much Jill!! xo
Your style is very inspirational!! I love how you mix fun colors together—-I am going to try to break out of my monochromatic rut. Keep on sharing!!! Love your pumas!!
Aw geez, thank you! That’s so sweet of you to say. I will have lots of color-loving tips…..I know not everyone is as color crazy as me, so I love finding ways for people to bring just a WEE bit more!

At one point do I become a single white female?

You are an inspiration, my gorgeous friend!
*MWUAH!!* we need a ya-ya night my friend!!
yahoo! I always love your fashion sense – it’s funny, I’ve been thinking of doing some more mom-focused posts on my blog too, can’t decide yet. But either way, I’m in agreement – COLOR RULES.
Oh you should mari! it’s fun and a nice change of pace (of course it’s yet another thing to add to the plate, but I like mixing it up!)
i just freakin’ love you. i bet you ANYTHING that if you came to see me here 99% of the people would ask if we are sisters, as long as i get out of the yogas for the day of course! lol! the dress over jeans is my fave look ever.
We we DO have matching bellies…..alas, I’m not carrying a sweet little Tova, I just have a baby burrito in there!!!!! Lishy someday we WILL meet!!!
