It is the perfect amount of floppy and the exactly right size for my noggin, two things that don’t happen often – especially simultaneously! I bought this Free People flowy skort from Nordstrom Rack like maybe three or four years ago when I worked at Nordstrom and had serious problems keeping myself from indulging in my employee discount. It is seriously one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own. Its soft and silky and while it feels like I’m wearing pajama shorts, they’re definitely more socially acceptable and way easier to dress up! The Gibson blazer is another indulgence from my Nordstrom days, and the perfect amount of “I borrowed this from my super hip grampa”. Layered over a plain white tank and accessorized with my SLATE Marble Triangle Necklace and Nakamol Mixed Crystals Coral & Gold Leather Wrap Bracelet that I got in my […]
This post contains affiliate links Hat // Headband (used as hatband) // Bar Necklace // Layered Necklace // Dress (sold out – similar + similar) // Sandals // Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207’ to get your first month FREE!] Happy Monday y’all! How were your weekends? We finally got some rain here after a very long streak of 100+ temperatures and dry weather, so the green is starting to come back out and replace the sad dry brown colors that have been littering lawns and parks alike. I honestly don’t feel like we got that much done this weekend other than grocery shopping and a little time spent on the driving range, but my goodness we’ve had a lot of laughter and snuggles so I’m counting it as a win! We’re trying to make quality nap times for H more of a priority since the kid struggles hard when he’s tired. Since he’s still at two a day, it’s keeping us home a lot more and forcing us to plan our errands around the few hours we have. The good thing about being home more is that we’re working on organizing and unpacking and creating a home that reflects us, which is SO much more than […]
Headband // Chambray // Shorts // Boots // Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207’ to get your first month FREE!] Notice anything a little different? I just chopped off almost s-i-x inches of hair – insert scream face emoji. I was feeling a little static and in need of a change, so I headed to my favorite hairdresser [seriously though, if you’re ever in the Boise area, you need to go to Victoria, aka: Tori, at Lunatic Fringe. She is amazing!] and told her I wanted something different and I left the salon 3.5 hours later feeling like a new woman! Isn’t it amazing what a little pampering and a great haircut can do for your outlook on life? I literally and figuratively feel so much lighter and now all my sad and stringy ends are where they belong: in the garbage and off my shoulders. An unexpected bonus to getting the “mom chop”? Hats and headbands / turbans are so much fun and look completely different! I am loving this Nakamol Mixed Crystals Coral & Gold Leather Wrap Bracelet that I got in my latest Rocksbox and it’s the perfect accompaniment to this super feminine velvety floral tie headband from RaynaJaye’s etsy shop. Have you […]
Maxi Dress: eShakti (use code ‘muchmostdarling‘ to save 10%) // Earrings + Necklace + Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207′ to get your first month FREE!] // Sandals: Tory Burch Casey Flats I was so excited when eShakti reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in trying out their uniquely customizable online boutique because I had heard great things about them from friends and other bloggers who had used their service. Being slightly under ‘Amazonian woman’ on the height scale, while having a large chest and hips with a small waist has its fair share of fit challenges. Usually if a garment fits my chest and hips, its way too big in the waist, and I typically need to size up to get a little extra length on dresses and tops so I’m not flashing anyone if I bend over, so I excitedly browsed their easy to use website to decide on a fun summer dress that would fit my frame. Once I chose my dress from the hundreds of dresses, tops, skirts, pants, shorts and jumpsuits, I had the option to choose either a standard size or custom size and also had the option to customize the style of the […]
Today is the day. Excuse me while I have a mini meltdown. As I alluded to in yesterday’s post (here), I’m doing something kind of huge today. Today I’m participating in the 4th Trimester Bodies Project – ah. Because I’m feeling a little extra nervous and needed a pick me up I pulled out a very very bright maxi. They say the color red is associated with energy, strength, power, determination and love – all of which are very appropriate for the documentary project. Slipping into this skirt instantly gave me a little boost. I mean, how are you supposed to be anxious when you’re wearing a bold statement piece that also just so happens to be perfect for twirling? The fabric moves so beautifully it’s oddly enough actually a little calming to watch. My gorgeous accessories all help add a little courage and bravery as well. My necklace, earrings and bracelet are all from Rocksbox and the arrow-like shapes in the necklace and bracelet make me feel a little like a warrior prepping for battle (if that makes any sense?). The turquoise ring was a gift from my grandmother: she and my grandfather had taken a jewelry making class […]
Hat: Forever21 // Sunglasses: Proof Eyewear // Necklace: Annie’s Nest Designs // Poncho: Shop Strands // Tee: The LB Brand // Bracelet: House of Harlow 1960 from RocksBox [use code ‘muchmostdarlingxoxo’ to get your 1st month free!] // Shorts: Target // Boots: Nordstrom Rack This poncho from Shop Strands has,unfortunately, been sitting neglected for a little while. During the move it somehow made its way into a box full of swimwear (this mama is so not ready for that yet), so there it sat until the Hubs and I worked on finishing my closet this past weekend. This past winter and spring I wore it with skinny distressed denim, black jeans and a relaxed white button up, for a few crisp and clean looks and now it’s a perfect boho-esque topper to finish off a basic tee + cutoffs. I’m always surprised by this puppy every time I put it on. I was so nervous about the whole poncho ‘thing’, and wasn’t quite sure I would be able to pull off the boxy and unfitted silhouette, but it’s just so dang comfy I practically contemplate sleeping in it. Although this is meant to be a poncho, it’s actually really awesome for […]
Ya know when you throw something on and just think ‘wow, this feels good’? Thats exactly the way I felt when I threw on this dress! It wasn’t much on the hanger, but I saw it on the rack and loved the colors and the feel of the fabric so I took a chance and brought it into the fitting room with me. Necklace bracelet + earrings: Rocksbox [use code muchmostdarlingxoxo to get your first month FREE!] // Glasses: Coastal // Sunglasses: Subsidy Shades // Chambray: similar | similar // Dress: Love…Ady // Boots: Sole Society // Bracelets: Grampa Peterson The minute I put this on, it makes me want to jump and twirl and dance under the stars in the moonlight! Forewarning – this is picture heavy. Now that it’s summer, pants are overrated and all I want to wear are dresses. When I walked into the Rack to return a pair of shoes, the smart part of me knew that I should just walk away, but Hulk bebé and the Hubs were already inside so I figured a look around was totally fine. Silly, silly me. This dress entered my life and it was all over. Even in the fitting room, I was having way way way too much fun prancing around and showing off the beautiful lines and movement […]

I am currently deep in one of those weeks. Regardless of how many “To Do” lists I make, it always feels like I’m forgetting something or leaving an important detail off. It’s not that I’m a total ditz, it’s the fact that I’ve become a complete Forgetful Fannie since getting pregnant with H, and I’m pretty sure its just gotten worse in the last 15 months. Seriously. I’m that person who finds their cellphone in the vegetable crisper, and the carrots on my bedside table in the mornings, when it’s obviously supposed to be the other way around. It’s like my mind is going so many places at once, I can either do a little of a lot, or a lot of a little, […]
