polka dots & big tops

top: Forever 21, gift / pants: Nordstrom Rack, clearance / shoes: Old Navy, clearance / earrings: c/o Sebastian Design

my boys apparently think this outfit is totally hilarious. 

first, Elijah asked me if i was wearing pajamas. 

then Adam said,

"did you roll around in paint? and your shirt looks like a homeless person shirt. it's way too big."

uhhh.... 

nice one. 

but actually this is one of my favorite outfits! 

it's so comfortable and i feel pretty cute in it. 

so that's all that matters right? 

my biggest goal when i get ready is to not look like a frumpy mom. 

i've been trying to experiment a lot with my style to see how i can stay looking semi-fashionable, feeling good & confident about myself, and still be able to run after Elijah when he {without fail} runs away in public.

it can be pretty hard to hit all three points sometimes, which is probably just me asking a lot. 

but my go-to outfits that are always able to fulfill my goals are a combination of cute patterned/colored pants, a fun/colorful top, and {the icing on the cake} great shoes.
[it is possible to run in certain heels :)]

maybe my sense of style is off and i still look like a frump mom,
but to me at least i don't feel like a frumpy mom.
it's fun + quirky [just the way i like it] and it's easy to run a few marathons in the grocery store aisles.
