Outfits Not Just Clothes

  shirt- Amazon , shorts- Target , sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-Coach(similar here ), slides-Old Navy(similar here ) I've been a huge of flamingos for many summers, as see here  years ago. I originally got this shirt for my husband so we could have a family flamingo moment, but I couldn't resist "borrowing from the boys" and tying this black and pink shirt up for a masculine, yet retro feeling outfit. If you look at the detail pics of the necklace and collar, you'll see pink cocktails with the flamingos, making this the prefect shirt for some outdoor day drinking!

And while we're not necessarily as coordinated as we have been in the past, here and here . We are outfitting in the same color family of blues and purples. For my look, now that Fall has officially started I've styled this retro-esque dress, last seen here , with a cardigan and booties .

My daughter and I were #twinning with pineapples in this post , we tried to do so again here this past weekend.  The "good" shots: Now for the not-so-good pics: Now for some straight-up blooper-pics that prove kids make the worst accessories, real parenting is work!  My face says it all on that last one right? It's not easy wrangling a 20-month old when you want to show off how cute you are in coordinated Mommy & Me outfits. Here's just my part of this pineapple #twinning  T-shirt/toddler dress-Old Navy(more pineapple apparel here ), skirt-Gap(similar here ), flats-Urban Outfitters(similar here ) Both this tee and skirt are on the large size, actually they are too large, I'm really swimming in these garments. The tee was on loan from my mom, who also two pineapple shirts, so technically we were #tripleting.... that's a thing, right? 😉 I tied up the corner of the T-shirt to crea...
