Fashion Friday 10.16.05 || Twinsies

Happy Friday y'all!

Let me be clear... this is the first time I have ever had any desire to dress like my child. But the outfit was so cute and coincidental that I couldn't resist. For us to have 4 items of clothing that were almost identical was some freakish accident. But the results are awesome!

These boots were made for walkin'!

Amaya likes to hike her socks waaaay up her legs! I guess it's her signature style!

 The concept is simple: white tank, skirt with a print and denim vest (the "completer" piece). I jazzed it up with cowboy boots because hey! Who doesn't love a cute pair of cowboy boots??

Seriously, I don't make it a habit look like my daughter, but she was just too adorable! 

My vest and tank are from Target, along with Amaya's vest, tank and boots. My skirt is from Old Navy and hers is from Osh Kosh B'Gosh. Rack Room Shoes has so many cute and affordable boots, and that's where I bought them.  

The whole idea, like always, is to keep it simple and effortless. Three pieces, cute boots and you are good to go. Here's the rundown of where you can get some of these items.

Amaya:
boots
vest
tank
skirt

Mom:
vest (in the darker wash)
skirt
tank
here is the page for several pairs of boots at Rack Room Shoes. I have the Coconuts Gaucho, but they don't have the dark color anymore :(

Hope you guys enjoyed it! Feel free to let me know what you think!

Have a great weekend :)

Fashion Friday 04.11.14

Week 2: Same concept as week one, with a twist. Jean vest, white tank, red maxi. 

The tank top is the same one from last week:tank

The denim vest is from Target. I couldn't find the link, but I found it in the juniors section. Here is one similar: vest

Maxi skirt is from Body Central: maxi

Same shoes last week: Sandals

The purse is from Nine West Outlet, but I bought it on clearance about year and a half ago. Here is another super cute clutch that I bought that would go perfect with this outfit. The white one reminded me more of summer, and since it's neutral, it goes with everything. Straw Clutch

It's a bit of a repeat performance, but during the week as you get busy, you need something quick and easy to throw on without having to think about it. When you know what to reach for, it saves time and looks effortless.

Something I have been struggling with lately is my hair. It's natural... no chemicals or dyes, and I'm finding it's much more tedious to take care of. I will have to explore some quick and easy hairstyles to go with these quick and easy outfits. I've just been throwing it up in a top-knot-type Afro puff with a cute scarf or headband.

As far as make up goes, I don't wear makeup unless I'm going out with my husband or having a girls night out. Typically, I wash my face with an Oil of Olay face cloth, use the old fashioned oil of Olay pink moisturizer, lip gloss and go. I've been blessed with skin that doesn't get break outs unless it's that "time of the month" so my skincare regimen is pretty simple. Perhaps that's something we can look into in the future. Yay for future projects!
