{What Mama Wore: In the Grey}

We have had some rainy rainy days around these parts. Actually feels like it has been a month filled with a lot of grey rainy days. I know I know, April Showers Bring May Flowers, but gosh this mama get's in a cranky mood with rain. Not only do my bones ache like mad, my mood just goes straight to bleh. Give me a lil sunshine and weather above 50 and I'm a whole new gal. This look here happened in between some showers on a gloomy day. Let's be honest the heels lasted about 10 minutes and I changed into some rain boots.

^^^ My TWO-AGER could not be bothered for a pic and only wants to "swing on the weeeeee, please". ^^^

Me // Jeans (these jeggings are great // old Tory Burch Clutch but similar here // Shirt // C/MEO Collection Coat (sold out on Revolve but found here) // Nude Pumps (these are on sale!)

Zoe // Denim Dress // Hunter Boots I neeeed these matching ones! // Target Leggings // Zara coat, gifted //

But the best part about a great coat is that it doesn't matter what you're wearing with and underneath it, you will feel and look fab. The coat was on major sale from Revolve and I am having a major moment with it.

Can we talk about these jeans? I have been on a denim kick lately and have been buying ones to find the perfect fit and these are up there on fit; some stretch, a lil distressed, not too low and easily worn dressed up or down. Can we say #winning ???? I have a few other favorites that I plan on sharing as I wear them but if you don't want to spend a ton these are for you.

Now if I could only get this flabby belly toned... Till them an oversized shirt will do just fine... ha!

Since it is the perfect time (hello sales!) to add a nice coat to your collection for next year, here are a few other coats I am eyeing!

Tweed BF Coat // Red One Button Refer Coat // Hooded Buckle Wrap Coat // Waterfall Cardigan Sweater (under $30!)

A trick on buying Hunter boots for a growing babe, buy the liners and size up, and when they are too snug remove the liners ( thank me later!) Her first two pairs were neutral colors (black and red) that a boy could easily wear... Or at least that is how I justify the purchase!

Happy hump day my loves!

Now if we could just get through today and make it to the weekend!

{What Mama Wore: Beachy Happy Hour}

Ok, so it was more like an entire day! And if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted O to shoot everything I brought I would have worn it the entire week! It even doubled as a sexy robe over my slip... But seriously, I am all about a coverup that can go from day to night and although all the slits on this one are little much for this mama to wear alone out for cocktails but I totally would over some shorts and a tank or a stretchy midi dress. Oh the endless possibilities. The billowy sleeves, the print, the tie in front that makes it easy to tailor to your own size.

Please don't be surprised if you see me wearing this all spring and summer long....

/ J.Crew one piece // Asos Layered Sleeve Maxi Beach Kimono (sold out but similar below // OPI Big Apple Red // Ray-Bans /

I thought after SNOOWWWWWW in April, that everyone is totally ready for a spring break trip somewhere warm, sand between your toes and sun/wine making your skin glowwwww. And well pretty little coverups that make you appear like you are floating.

Seriously though, you can't go wrong with a flowy, easily adjusted dress that "covers-up" just enough of your swim suit but can easily be paired with a tank dress and worn all summer long. Because you better believe I will be changing this one up all summer long.

Actually I may crank up the heat and wear it at the house this weekend... lol

#totallyoverthiscold

Of course the ASOS one I am wearing is sold out but below are some others I am eyeing AKA may have already bought...

Pleated Beach Maxi Dress // Caftan Maxi Dress // Pippa Cover-Up Pants // Off the Shoulder Bell Sleeve Tunic

Racerback Maxi Cover-Up // Mara Hoffman Dashiki Cover-Up // Ray-Ban Aviator // Wrap Around One Piece

So cheers to clothes that make a mama happy and feel like her old self, vacations booked and warmer (hopefully soon!!) days ahead.

{What Mama Wore: Springing Into Spring With Stripes}

When shopping for our "spring break" I wanted to make sure and buy pieces I could easily transition from beach to cooler spring temps and keep wearing into the summer. This flowy shift dress (with pockets!!!) is the perfect addition. I mean isn't a striped dress always a good idea?
