You guys won’t believe it but I snuck away kids-free for an hour this past weekend and headed to Target for a little retail therapy! I was in desperate need of some new clothes and wanted to find some stylish, affordable options. And Target did not disappoint it! I mean it was holiday mayhem and the store was crazy, but I was able to find a lot of cute options to add to my winter wardrobe! Keep reading to see the first edition of Fitting Room Diaries: Target Edition! I’ll share what I liked, my sizing and some different ways to style the items!

SWEATER TRY-ON

The first few items I tried on were all sweaters because the weather here in San Diego has started to get a bit chillier! Since we live close to the beach, it definitely gets chilly in the morning and night, so I needed a few sweaters that I can wear throughout the week to stay warm!

Item 1: A New Day Women’s V-Neck Ruffled Pullover ($25)

This was a fun surprise! I honestly didn’t think I would like this because I felt like the ruffled neckline might be too much! But I was pleasantly surprised with how well it draped! It comes in three different colors and would look cute paired with jeans and booties! I’m wearing a size small, and normally would be a medium so I would size down! It’s a very comfortable and cozy piece and the ruffled element gives it a feminine, chic look!

Item 2: A New Day Women’s Slouchy Mockneck Sweater ($25)

I looooooove this sweater! I’m wearing a size Medium in this photo, but switched at checkout to a size small so also size down! It’s so soft and is the perfect sweater to wear with leggings! You can wear with leggings, tennies and a jean jacket or dress it up a little and wear with Spanx Leggings, tall boots and a wide-brim hat! It’s a super versatile tunic length sweater and is honestly so soft! It comes in a ton of colors too and is only $25!

Item 3: Universal Thread Crewneck Pullover Sweater ($20)

Size up on this one if you are on the taller side! I’m wearing a large to add a bit of length to it!! It’s slightly oversized, seriously comfy and is only $20! You can totally wear this to work with some dress pants or pair it with jeans and some loafers! There are like 15 different colors so you can take advantage of the affordable price point and buy multiple!

Item 4: A New Day Women’s Loop Stitched Cardigan ($35)

Okay…so I first saw this cardigan in Instagram on someone and it was super cute! But when I saw it in stores, I wasn’t as impressed! But then I tried it on and it fit so well and has a cool vibe to it! The large loop knit gives it a cool texture and you can wear it opened or buttoned up! It’s super versatile! I love the ribbed detailing and it’s a great piece to add to your closet for those semi-chilly nights! It does run a bit oversized (wearing size small) so size down for a more fitted look!

SHIRT TRY-ON

Item 1: A New Day Ottoman Long Sleeve T-Shirt ($20)

This is characterized as a t-shirt, but I actually felt like it was more sweater material since it’s a pretty thick knit! I love the neckline and the pocket detailing! I would wear this two ways- with my Madewell Jeans shown here, some white sneakers like these, and a headband! For a slightly dressier look, you can wear with Spanx leggings, knee high boots and a faux leather jacket over! It’s a simple basic tee that can easily be dressed up or down!

Item 2: Women’s Long Sleeve Henley Neck Pointelle Shirt – Universal Thread ($14.99)

This shirt is a great basic and layering piece! It’s only $14 and comes in white also. If you are shorter than 5’9, I would stick to your normal size! Otherwise, size up for a longer fit! I loved the pointelle detailing and the beautiful blue color!

Item 3: Women’s Puff 3/4 Sleeve Top – A New Day ($20)

This pullover top features a puckered texture, puffed short sleeves with drop shoulders, and a lovely peplum hemline. It’s made of cotton and some spandex and is a cute top! I loved this dusty rose color, but would definitely size down. I’m wearing a size medium, and would have got a small if they had it in stock! This shirt would be great year-round- wear it with denim shorts in the warmer months or add a layer and your favorite jeans in the colder months! 

Dresses

Item 1: Women’s Long Sleeve Ribbed Knit Sweater Dress – A New Day($29.99)

This Crewneck midi sweater dress is such a fun piece! I’m wearing a size small and love that it fits more form-fitting. You can easily dress it up or down depending on your style! I love it paired with a denim jacket and some casual sneakers! Top it off with a wide-brimmed rancher hat and you are set! 

Swap out the sneakers for booties and throw on a faux leather jacket and you are ready for date night! 

Item 2: Long Sleeve Sweater Dress – A New Day ($29.99)

This midi dress is similar to the previous one, although it has a hoodie and is more of a loosely-fitting dress. I’m wearing a size small and would size down to an extra-small, for a slightly better fit. I think this dress would be perfect for those who are currently pregnant too! There is enough fabric to give a little stretch and it’s a super cute casual dress that can transition into a postpartum wardrobe! I dream of putting my hair in a messy bun, slipping on this cozy dress and adding a pair of woven mules or sneakers to it! Casual yet chic!

Item 3: Puff Short Sleeve T-Shirt Dress – Universal Thread ($22)

This dress was so fun! The color looks a little more orange in pictures, but it is such a cute dress and it is actually long enough for tall girls! I’m wearing a size medium so I would say it is true to size! I love the slight volume in the sleeves! Slip it on, pair it with some braided mules and you are good to go! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Pajamas

Item: Women’s Plaid Fleece Lounge Sweater and Pants- Colsie ($20 sweater, $20 bottoms)

I love this pajama set! It is lined with fleece and seriously so warm and soft!! I’m wearing a size large in the top because it was seriously cropped on me, and a small in the bottoms! I love this print so much and you will find me wearing these all winter long!

Phewwwww! That was a lot of trying on! I hope seeing some of these pieces on helped give you a better idea of how they actually look on! Sometimes when I see them in store, I’m like nope! But once I try it on, I’m able to get a better idea of how it really looks and how I can style it.

Ohhh hey! It’s been like a month or two since we have done a blog post! Life has just been so insanely busy for us both! Melissa and I are both Stay at home moms to entrepreneur husbands so that often translates to them working a ton! But we are back and are so excited to be here again! Thanks for always following along with us and giving us your love and support! We do appreciate it! I wanted to jump back into things and share my favorite things I’ve been loving this past month!

A Little Life Update

We recently moved in August, just down the street, but it still involved tons of purging, packing, organizing and unpacking! It’s been exhausting but also super fun! Our new house is super cute, has tons of natural light and we’ve been slowly starting to decorate it so stay tuned for more home decor posts!!

We also started homeschooling through a charter with my oldest daughter so it’s been fun, but also busy! We have soccer, Wild and Free nature groups and all kinds of fun field trips so it definitely keeps us busy!

And we went to Disneyland! It was so much fun! We enjoyed a week at our favorite place and it made our hearts so happy to see all of the Halloween decorations!

So that’s our little update! It’s been a busy but exciting season of life for us! A little break gave me some much needed time to get my creative juices flowing again!

My Favorite Things this Past Month

I wanted to share just a few of my favorite things I’ve been loving this past month! I always love when people share their faves because it gives me new ideas or products to try! So keep reading to see what I’ve been loving lately!

Books //

I try to make it an intention to read every day and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t! This month I read two books and really loved them both!

The first book The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave was literally so good!! I even stayed up way past my bedtime two nights in a row to finish it! I don’t want to give too much away but it held my attention so well and was one of my fave books of the year!

The second book, Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty by Lauren Weisberger, bestselling author of Devil Wears Prada was a fun read! It’s about a college admission scandal, following your heart, and the reality of perfect lives! It was more of a fun read, but I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend both books!

Hair//

The next two things I’m loving are hair products! Since we live by the beach, we are constantly swimming in the oceans and pool! Our hair gets dry so we definitely have to keep it hydrated to prevent breakage!

I’ve been using the dae Monsoon Moisture Mask for the past few months and love it! It keeps my hair soft and silky! It also has clean ingredients, smells good and looks cute in my shower! I typically only wash my hair 2-3 times a week max so I just use a tiny bit of this every time and let it sit in my hair while I shave! My hair is definitely shinier and having less breakage!

My daughter’s have pretty wavy to curly hair, and my 5 year old has super long hair! It kept getting tangled and frizzy so I bought this leave in conditioner for curly hair by Verb and it works wonders! I just put a little in the hair after bath, brush through and let it air-dry! She gets perfect little waves with no frizz! It’s magic! I tried on my fine, straight hair and it was a little too heavy for me! So I highly recommend for wavy/straight hair!

Fitness//

With our move recently and a busy schedule it has been so hard to get consistent workouts in and I’ve been left feeling in a rut! I kept getting ads for Melissa Wood Health app so I decided to download and so the seven day free trial! I ending up loving it and now pay $9.99 a month for it!

The MWH Method is a series of slow controlled, low impact movements combining yoga and Pilates to sculpt long lean lines throughout the body. Her program offers pre and post natal workouts, beginner workouts and meditations and much more! I like that she has a schedule to follow so it keeps me on track and mixes it up! I’ve been following the schedule and then adding in an extra workout on days that I have time! It’s been so good and I feel refreshed after taking each class!

To add a little intensity to my workout when you for the challenge, I use these Bala bangles! I have them in 1lb and 2lb and love them! I also try to wear them while on walks! Such an added bonus!

Clothes//

I purchased a few things this month that I am loving! I’ve always been a big fan of one-shoulder looks and found this super cute top at revolve! It comes in quite a few colors and the material really surprised me! When I purchased I thought it was going to be a cotton t-shirt material, but it was actually a thicker polyester and spandex material! I like to wear it with my hair in a bun and some hoop earrings to give it that sexy peek of shoulder look!

I also love this ribbed workout sports bra and bottoms I got from Target recently! I’ve been wearing them non-stop and love the slate blue color! The ribbing is so cute and the high-waist super flattering! I paired it with this cute little open back shirt!

I’ve also been loving this billabong dress I got last month! You can wear it so many ways! I like to wear it with booties, a hat and a chunky cardigan! I’m wearing it with this little cardigan I picked up from Amazon and it’s such an easy and comfortable outfit! This outfit will definitely be a repeat and will probably be on my list of favorite things for a while! You can easily dress up or down!

And my last favorite clothing item this month was my Gap Cheeky High- Rise straight leg denim in black! I was actually going to order the Madewell Perfect Vintage denim in black because I love the fit, but I saw these on sale and figured I should give it a try! I’m so happy I did because I love them and got so many compliments on them! I wore them at Disneyland and they were so comfortable!! Highly-recommend! I would size down one size because they do stretch out as you wear them!

Randoms//

These PeapodMats Leakproof Mattress Pads! My oldest has been potty-trained for a few years now, but instill like to keep this mat over her mattress for extra protection! They are perfect for that potty-training time when you need some reassurance and accidents happen frequently!

I’ve also been loving line art recently!! I just purchased these prints from Etsy and they are so beautiful! These will go in my bathroom and were so inexpensive! You just buy the file, print at Office Depot/Staples and put in a frame! So easy and inexpensive!

Okay! If you made it this far, you are amazing!! Thank you! Hope you enjoyed reading and found some inspiration of books torneadnos things to try! These were just some of my favorite things this past month! Leave a comment below and let us know yours!

midi skirts

Let me shine a light on midi skirts friends! They are seriously my obsession and something that I find I wear year-round! Not only are they super easy to wear, but I can still chase my kids around without exposing anything, while looking more stylish and put together. It’s definitely a win for me!

I know a lot of people are hesitant about midi skirts and are afraid to wear them because they don’t want to look frumpy. But they are an item that looks good on everyone! You just have to find the right fit and style! Since they are something I gravitate towards, I thought I would share a few ways to style them, as well as some tips to keep in mind! Especially for you petite girls! You can wear midi skirts also!

Midi Skirts

midi skirts
Tee // Skirt (Madewell from a few years ago, similar version, Hat

A midi skirt is in between a maxi skirt and a mini skirt, hence the name. The length typically hits between your knee and ankle, falling midway down your calf (although this does depend on how tall you are). Remember: you can always take your skirt to be tailored to ensure proper fit!

Current Favorites

I typically tend to gravitate towards a high slit style, because it adds movement to the outfit while elongating your look. If you are more on the petite side, this is a key style, as it won’t make you look shorter the way a more traditional midi skirt would!

midi skirts
Key // Remember Proportions

I think one of the most important things to remember is to balance proportions. If you choose a flowy midi skirt, try to balance out the top by pairing it with a form fitting top, bodysuit or a crop top! This is especially important if you are on the petite side. Having a defined waist will help keep the look from overpowering your frame!

Three Ways to Style a Midi Skirt

Midi Skirts Look 1 // Casual Cool

The perfect look if you are going to the park or running errands! The white tennis shoes keep it casual, while the graphic tee adds the perfect amount of “cool.” You can also wear a cropped graphic tee, like this one! I always add a little knot to my tee to add a fun little element and help define my waist! Pair it with some hoop earrings and add a classic denim jacket if you get cold and you are good to go! It’s as simple as that! Styling suggestion: If you wear a cropped tee, make sure your skirt is more high-waisted! It will help keep everything proportionate and balanced! Also,

Shop the Look

Midi Skirts Look 2 // Chic and Edgy

This look is perfect for a date night or girl’s brunch! You can wear this year-round, depending on where you live! With some pointed toe ankle boots that elongate your legs, a black fedora hat and some dainty jewelry, you can keep this outfit chic, while adding a little bit of edge! Also keep in mind, that not every sweater is meant to be paired with skirts. I typically avoid super chunky sweaters and instead opt for a thinner material, allowing for my shirt to tuck nicely into my skirt without being bulky!

Shop the Look

Midi Skirts Look 3 // California Cool

midi skirts

For this last look, it’s all about that effortless California style. Living by the beach, this is a look I wear often! It keeps me cool, makes me feel put together and is just a fun vibe! You can wear a simple crop tank or a bodysuit! I love one that has feminine details like the shoulder tie-straps! Pair it with some sandals and a wicker-style crossbody and you are ready to go! This is something I would wear shopping, as it’s easy to slip in and out of!

Shop the Look

Don’t let midi skirts intimidate you! They are so easy to wear and instantly elevate your style! Hope this post helped spark some inspiration for how to style them!

As always, thank you so much for your support and for following along! We appreciate you so much. And don’t forget to check out some of our other style posts here!

Happy Friday friends!! It’s the end of the week and I am so excited for the weekend! My daughter recently started soccer and I have been enjoying watching her play so much! It’s so fun and encouraging to see her enjoy something and it also allows me to wear some of my favorite athleisure clothes! I mean I want to look cute, but I also want to be able to cheer her on comfortably, without caring if I’m getting wet from the grass or dirty!

I pretty much wear workout clothes every single day, or at least the majority of the week! With the kids, I try to stay active and keep them outdoors a lot so wearing maxi dresses and dressier clothes aren’t the perfect fit for me at this stage of my life!

I did a little bit of shopping and wanted to share some of my favorite athleisure pieces! Some I have had for quite some time and others are a new edition! I’m also going to try and keep this more budget friendly because I’m currently trying to stick to a budget and save more! Hope you enjoy!

Athleisure Tops Under $50

Some of my favorite go-to stores for workout tops are Nordstrom, Aerie, and Target! I like that I can get good quality clothing, but not have to pay extremely high prices! I used to purchase a lot of Lululemon and I do love them, but I didn’t find myself loving as much as some of my more budget-friendly alternatives. Now I really don’t purchase too many workout shirts from there unless I find a good sale or really love an item!

  1. Zella Relaxed Long Sleeve Tee ($45): This relaxed long-sleeve T-shirt is perfect for both the gym and running errands. So get one in every color so you have something to wear to lunch after your workouts!
  2. Zella Work for it Tank Top ($29): It’s easy being stylish and comfortable in this stretch-knit tank designed with a racerback and cropped hem! You can look cute while working out and they have so many colors!
  3. Offline Ribbed Long Sleeve Crop Tee ($24): This top is very soft and cute and I would definitely recommend. It is more form fitting, so I suggest going up one size if you don’t want it tight! I sized up and love the fit!
  4. Offline Real Me Tank Top ($28): My husband got me this tank for Valentine’s Day and I love it! I normally don’t love form-fitting shirts when working out, but this feels super nice! It comes with a padded bra so you have some support!
  5. Target’s Famous $8 Tank: ($8): This is actually one of my go to tanks for working out! It’s so comfortable and the neckline is so flattering! I think I own at least 7-8 colors and wear them all the time!
  6. All Motion Tank Top ($16): I own these in a few colors too! It’s super affordable! It has a relaxed fit, but isn’t too flowy! It’s perfect for working out! And I love the material!

My Favorite Workout Pants

  1. Athleta Elation 7/8 Tight ($89): While these are definitely expensive and an investment piece, the quality and fit is so good! I wear these for more HIIT style or intensive workouts. They offer a little compression, are high-waister and have a 7/8 length! I love that they also come in tall sizes so they are perfect for me at 5’9! They often go on sale so you can definitely get them cheaper!
  2. FP Movement Good Karma Running Shorts ($48): I love these running shorts! They are perfect for a run or jog and look super cute whether working out or not! I also will wear these under dresses so it’s a win-win for me!
  3. Nike One Dri-Fit Leggings ($55): Whether you’re ready to work up a sweat or chill on the couch, feel confident in these leggings! It features a mid-waist contour waistband so they won’t slide down and are made of moisture-wicking technology!
  4. Zella Live In High Waist Pocket 7/8 Leggings (on sale for $40): I own these and love them for pilates and yoga! They wick away moisture to keep you cool and comfortable during workouts and have a pocket to hold your phone or keys if needed!
  5. OFFLINE Real Me High Waisted Legging: ($31): I own these in a few colors also and love them! They are high-waisted so I always wear them with a crop top! I wear these more for athleisure styles as they don’t have a ton of compression and are a thinner material! They are good for yoga and pilates though! I also like that they are a 7/8 length and come in short, tall and regular sizing! AERIE is so size inclusive so I love supporting this brand!
  6. OFFLINE Real Me High Waisted Crossover Legging ($45): Love these! The waist is so cute! I have two pairs and I find myself gravitating towards these all the time! You know they are good because they constantly sell out!

Gamechanger: Belt Bags/Hip Packs

Okay friends! A belt bag or hip pack or fanny pack (whatever you want to call them) has literally been a game changer for me! I wear it slung across my chest and it makes going to the park and beach so much easier! I leave my diapers and everything in the car and just put my wallet, phone and keys inside my bag and I am ready to go! It keeps my hands-free so I can chase my little ones and not worry about losing my keys or having a heavy diaper bag to wear! Here are some of my favorites! You can also find some really cute ones from Aloha Collection!

  1. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag ($38): I purchased this one from Lululemon and I love it! It’s a smaller version and just plain black! They have a bunch of colors and it holds everything I need! It’s perfect and my husband can wear it too!
  2. Lululemon All Night Festival Belt Bag 3L ($68): This is a similar style to the one I purchased, but slightly bigger! I saw in person and it reminded me a little more of a cross-body bag so I went with the smaller one. It also comes in a few colors and is very versatile and easy to clean!
  3. Herschel Supply Co. Seventeen Hip Pack ($32): My friend owns this in black and it is so cute! It’s a quintessential compact pack made of poly-canvas and it carries all your belongings! You can wear it around the waist or over the shoulder. It’s also unisex so your husband can wear it too!
  4. Topshop Diagonal Zip Belt Bag ($30): This is a perfect dressier version of hip pack! The sleek faux-leather finish elevates this handy belt bag and the edgy zippered details give it a chic, cool-girl vibe!
  5. Fawn Design Belt Bag ($55): You can store your cash, keys and other small essentials while on the go with your little one in this trendy belt bag! It’s made by the same brand as my diaper bag and the quality is so good!
  6. Volcom Take With Me Belt Bag ($35): This has a lot of cute prints and it’s just a super simple version of a belt-bag! It’s the perfect size for daily adventures!

Athleisure Style for the Win!

My typical week includes a lot of running around, going to Stroller Strides, visiting the park and going to the beach! It’s important for me to be comfortable but look stylish! I think that is really important for mom’s to keep in mind! When we look frumpy or don’t get dressed, it often translates to us feeling that way too! So getting dressed in a little bit of athleisure really helps me feel put together! I know that one day I will be able to wear maxi dresses and whatever outfit I want, but with the kids so young and me constantly picking them up and down, it just isn’t feasible right now!

I also typically add a hat (this is my current favorite from Alo Yoga right now!) to keep the sun out of my eyes! It’s important to protect your skin and not get sunburnt or sun damage! Right now, while nursing my skin is prone to melasma, I always wear a hat and sunscreen! Melissa had some great recommendations in her post about Blue-Light, so if you haven’t already check that out HERE)!

And for shoes, I typically always wear my trusty Adidas, my New Balance’s or my Olukai’s! They are definitely my favorite shoes!

I don’t know about any other parents out there, but it seems like my kiddos have been having such major growth spurts. I’m talking growing out of clothes I just bought a month prior and feet growing two sizes at a time! It’s insanity!

I went through my girls wardrobes and was shocked to see that they needed a major refresh! I’m talking a major overhaul! I typically shop for them at a variety of stores, but H&M and Zara are often my go-to’s. I know for some people it’s considered fast fashion and I do try to limit how much we purchase, but it is what works for us right now. My girls are at the beach or the park every day and play hard. I would have a hard time letting them be kids and not get muddy/dirty or play hard if something they owned was like $45 for a shirt. So for us it works! At least in these younger years where they grow so fast and get so dirty!

Anyways, I checked out H&M and found so many cute options! I was obsessed with quite a few items and can’t wait to dress them up! I wanted to share some cute and affordable H&M finds I found, just in case your child keeps growing tons too! There is everything from pants and dresses to accessories!

H&M FINDS: GIRLS EDITION

  1. Yellow Floral Ruffled Swimsuit ($17.99): This swimsuit is such a cute print and I love the floral detailing. The material is thick and a really good quality!
  2. Gingham Flounced Cotton Blouse ($19.99): I love this shirt! It would look super cute with a pair of black overalls for family photos or a simple pair of black leggings!
  3. Dark Grey Cotton Dress ($29.99) I love the crinkled organic cotton fabric of this dress! I love that it doesn’t have a little kid look and is something similar to what I would wear! Pair it with a cute headband and some combat boots or sandals and you are good to go!
  4. Patterned Jersey Dress ($4.99): I buy these every season! Not only are they super affordable, but they always have cute prints and my daughter loves wearing them year-round! She wears them with little bike shorts underneath during summer and a cardigan and leggings during the colder months. Once she outgrows the length, we use them as little tunic shirts so this $5 dress lasts us so long!
  5. Love Shirt ($9.99): Such a simple staple, but with a fun little twist! I love the color and print! It’s a soft cotton jersey material and the long sleeves make it a perfect shirt for layering if its cold! It can go with so many different outfits. This was one of my daughter’s favorites!
  6. Green Dot Ruffled Swimsuit ($17.99): I ordered this swimsuit for my older daughter! I love the color, the classic print and the fun details. It has crossover straps, ruffled detailing and it’s a thick fabric! I think it runs slightly small so maybe size up one!
  7. Two-Piece Leopard Set ($24.99): Okay, if you guy’s don’t already know, I am a sucker for leopard print! I just love it! And this one comes with a super cute graphic with a cat wearing a headband so I knew it was going to be an instant add to cart. I love easy outfits like these! It can also be worn with different options for a versatile, capsule wardrobe approach!
  8. Dusty Rose Leopard Sweatshirt ($14.99): My daughter loves animals so when I saw this is I knew she was going to love it! Since we live by the beach and sometimes go early morning or late at night, these kinds of sweaters are perfect for keeping her warm! I love all the ribbed detailing around the neck and wrists too!
  9. Two-Piece Dotted Cotton Set ($14.99): I bought this set for my younger daughter and we are major fans! I actually have two previous colors as well and whenever we go anywhere, we get tons of compliments and inquiries! It’s made from soft, ribbed cotton jersey and is just such an easy outfit! Throw on a bow or a beanie for an edgier look!
  10. Floral Sweatshirt ($9.99): I love this print and the dusty rose color! It’s a fun piece and they have matching pants as well! Pair it with some high top sneakers and a cool headband for a chic but edgy look!
  11. Two- Pack Leggings in Taupe (14.99): My youngest daughter lived in these! They are super affordable, come in so many different color schemes and they have an elasticized waist that is easy to get off an on for diaper changes. These are always in my H&M finds.
  12. Brave and Curious Sweatshirt ($9.99): Obsessed with a cute and positive saying so I got this for my youngest! I love that they offer shirts with empowering slogans and quotes for girls!
  1. 3-pack Cotton Leggings ($29.99): Love these! These are ankle-length leggings in a soft, cotton material and they have an adjustable elasticized waist! I love the color selections they have too!
  2. Minnie Mouse Sweatshirt ($17.99): Leopard print! Need I say more? Haha! No but seriously, I love this sweatshirt. I bought a size up for a slightly oversized fit and then it will stretch into next year and fit my youngest daughter perfectly! Win-Win!
  3. Seven Pack Polka Dot Socks ($12.99): Does anyone else lose socks like crazy? My kids do all the time so I love purchasing a big pack a few times a year to always have on hand! I love the color selection and prints!
  4. 3 pack Scrunchies ($3.99): I use these all the time when creating little buns or top knots for my girls! They are super cute!
  5. Set of Bow Headbands ($17.99): I love that these match a lot of the clothes that I purchased this round for the girls! It’s a great way to keep their hair out of their face!
  6. Warm-Lined Glitter Boots ($29.99): I love pairing these with dresses! The boots are lined with faux shearling, have a side-zip and a little loop to make it easy to put on! Super Cute!
