rocks and little boys

{Sweater: Ann Taylor Loft | Shirt: Gap | Shorts: Gap | Shoes: Sperrys}


\


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?

  2. I love seeing T-baby in the pictures! He's a great accessory!

    I rarely shop for clothes, but when I need something, I always go to the Loft outlet. It's close to my house and their stuff seems to fit me well. It's almost ridiculous that 80% of what I wear to work is all from Loft outlet. And it's not like I pick different styles from there either... all my outfits look so, so similar. Sometimes I feel like it's my "uniform." Ha ha ha!

  6. I'm the same way - but there's a store in my little town that has the cutest things, and you won't find them other places. Plus, it's pretty inexpensive. So it's the best kind of habit to have. I love your look here - the red is so great!

  8. I shop at a lot of the same stores too! I feel like now that I've been doing outfit posts I need to switch it up, but at the same time I shop at those places because I love them so much! The two tops you have on are great! The red is so pretty on you!

  9. I can't wait to meet T! I'll pick up rocks with him anytime. Maybe he and my nephew Bubbs will become best friends. I shop at the same places because I know they work for me. So did you see that post about how wearing cardigans and red lipstick is lame and not sexy and that JCrew is the most boring store ever? TEXT ME!!!
