rocks and little boys

Let's face it folks, first and foremost I am a mother. I usually try to keep the munchkin out of my photos but sometimes it's just not possible. I mean he doesn't understand that outfit photos are not a time to collect rocks, so collect rocks we did!

Since switching to this new way of doing photos, I've realized that I shop at pretty much the same places. I'm a Gap, Anthropologie, J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft, Old Navy kind of gal. I was trying to figure out why this is.  I think it's because I'm a creature of habit and I feel like those stores really epitomize my style. Anthro is my trendy/quirky store; the Gap, Old Navy and the Loft are where I get my staples; and J. Crew is my luxury. I know what I'm getting and I find it a tad exhausting to try and traverse a new store.  Plus it doesn't hurt that Gap and Loft are within walking distance of my home!

So there you have it, if you want to copy my style (not that you'd want to) that's how you do it!  Do you guys have go-to stores?  Or do you just shop anywhere and everywhere?  If so, what's your secret?
