Happy Wednesday! This is a casual look that is perfect for playing with the kids. I think my favorite part about this look are the shoes! Cute and comfy (and a great price)!

1 dress 3 ways
Fall...
dress: Old navy (similar). sweater: Frenchi. shoes: Sperry. necklace: BP. watch: Nixon.
I could wear this dress everyday if that was socially acceptable! It is so comfortable and goes with everything in my closet. Because the dress is short sleeves I waned to make it more fall appropriate by adding this cropped sweater. I love the textured floral pattern that gives it a more feminine look. This necklace is perfect for someone that likes layering necklaces, but is not very good at it...that would be me! This gives the layered look without me doing any of the work. It was a great price too. Lastly, I have to mention the shoes. Do you have Sperry top-siders? If so, you know what I mean when I say they are the MOST comfortable shoes in the world. These shoes offer the same kind of comfort with a more classy look.
Are you seeing a pattern with me? I always go for comfort. I love the idea of the stylish mom in stilettos, but that just doesn't work for me. I have an almost 2 year old and an 8 month old. That means the little one is usually in a baby carrier while I chase her older brother all over the park. High heels in the grass while trying to run...that's a funny thought. Anyways, I like to be stylish and chic, but still comfortable. What are some of your comfortable, yet classy items? I need to add them to my closet :)

Lace...
shirt: Bellatrix. pants: Target. shoes: JCREW. earrings: bp
I am totally and completely in love with this top!!! It is so elegant with the ivory lace on top and the light pink underneath. It can also be worn so many ways...with a high waisted skirt tucked in, some boyfriend distressed jeans to give a classy relaxed look, should I go on?...The earrings are beautiful, but not an everyday choice for me since I have little ones that like to grab and pull shiny things! It's always fun to put a pair of dangley (is that a real word) earrings on because I know it must be a special occasion-maybe even a date with my husband! So if you're feeling like dressing up, put on some lace and shiny earrings and you will feel like a million bucks! Have a great day!

Dressing for your shape: Pear
Fall edition
One of my favorite shows (until they discontinued it) was "What not to Wear." An aspect of the show that I was drawn to was that no matter what shape or size someone was, they would make them look great and most importantly FEEL great! I think that no matter what shape or size you are, you can find clothes that are most flattering for your body so you can feel CONFIDENT everyday. Today I am featuring the pear shape, which means the widest part of your body is below your waist, around the hips.

Today I am featuring the pear shape, which means the widest part of your body is below your waist, around the hips.
blazer: Nordstrom bp (similar). shirt: Nordstrom bp. necklace: Nordstrom bp. pants: Target. shoes: Sperry
The goal for a pear shape is to always draw the eyes up by accentuating your top half. For example, you want people to notice your scarf, necklace, or cute top. In this look I am wearing a statement necklace, which becomes one of the main points of focus. Blazers, jackets, and cardigans are great for pears because they can add fun colors and prints to an outfit that draw attention away from your hips.
sweater: Nordstrom bp. shirt: Old Navy. pants: old. shoes: Dolce Vita (similar) hat: Nordstrom bp. watch: Nixon
Again, I am drawing attention to my upper half with a hat. Layers are perfect for pear shapes and for fall so you are in luck! Layers on top help balance the hips and shoulders, but make sure to choose tops that still have some shape so you don't lose that definition in your waist. Heels on your shoes make the leg look longer, even if it is just a small one.
shirt: Old Navy. scarf: Nordstrom. skirt: old. shoes: JCREW (on sale!)
Try wearing something darker on bottom (dark skirts, pants, slacks) because darker colors are slimming. A-line and pencil skirts usually work best on this body type. Normally I would not choose a bottom with pockets because that adds bulk to the hip area, but this skirt's pockets were more in the front than on the sides. Nude shoes are great for making the legs look longer. I am only 5 feet tall so I am always looking for ways to add extra inches.

1 dress 3 ways
Layers...
dress: old navy (similar). sweatshirt: Forever 21 (similar). jacket: Forever 21 (similar). shoes: TOMS-Zulily. watch: Michael Kors-Ebay
This dress has quickly become one of my favorites. It was a great price, super comfy, and can be worn so many ways! Fall is the season for layers...I like to have a jacket for the morning when it is chillier, but then when it heats up a bit I can take it off. A jean jacket is always a go to item for me during the fall. I like how the sweater added some more design and color to the look. I also have to mention the shoes...I usually don't wear these except on game day. My husband is a Seahawks fan and in case you don't know much about Seahawks fans, they are obsessed. He encourages our entire family to support them by wearing their colors, so these have officially become my Seahawk shoes.
