Fabulous Too

On today's post I'd like to feature my beautiful daughter, Millie, with her amazing self. Yes, this 2 year old with wild curls and that devilishly beautiful smile holds my entire heart! I know she's only been on this earth for only a couple of years, but I'm very certain she's an old soul. She's very much her own person; she knows what she wants and doesn't take no for an answer. Or wait... maybe I'm just confusing her ability be so strong minded with her just being really good at throwing tantrums. Yes, terrible twos are a real thing! But, I challenge anyone to resist her charm when she kisses you after one of those world class tantrums. All is forgiven in my book.

Aside from her curly hair and her stubbornness, she also has my fashion sense.  Style isn't something you can just teach someone, especially someone as young as Millie. She does her own thing when it comes to looking fabulous. Every time we get ready to leave the house, she has to put on her sunglasses and have  whatever her favorite toy is for the moment. For the time being, those toys are her princess car keys and her Pepa Pig. Another staple piece Millie needs to wear almost everyday are her dresses. When I dress her for the day she'll tell me, "Mommy I'm wearing a dress today". Who am I to argue with her when she's talking to someone who wore ruffle panties at the age of two. The killer for me is when I get her dolled up and ready to go, she goes to the full length mirror and does a full inspection of her overall look. As if she has to make sure I styled her accordingly. Yeah... She's a mess. But, I believe it goes without saying that she didn't steal that sass. Now if only I could get her to be as enthusiastic about me running a comb through her hair as she is about getting dressed up. However, that's a whole other topic... something she didn't steal from me, that's for sure.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I may have my work cut out for me with this little one. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for tuning in once again!
Until next time loves,

Boho Mojo

Feeling a little under the weather? If so, that makes two of us. As the weather changes from extreme heat to cool nights, my body tends to go haywire. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do to shake this cold is take lots of Musinex and drink hot tea. That and put on a pretty dress to mask how I feel. The worse thing you could do when you're sick is dress dowdy. Have you ever noticed when you wear sweats and an over sized shirt your mood is a little on the lazy side. Yes, you're comfortable, but you're also accepting the fact that you're not feeling good. I've noticed that when you wear something that makes you feel good and confident, you're more likely to get over your cold a lot sooner. Trust me!

Today I pulled out this little bohemian number to give me a boost. This dress is easy to wear; it's comfortable and it takes ZERO effort to put the rest of your outfit together. Since this dress has a pattern, I don't have to indulge in accessories to spice things up. Little add-ons  go a long way with this piece. A long necklace, sandals that compliment the colors in the dress and a nice purse give this look the mojo I need.

I may feel feverish, but the rest of the world shouldn't have to witness the horror. We'll just keep that our little secret... wink wink.

Until next time,
Xoxo

Mellow Yellow

Nothing brightens my day more than wearing yellow; it's an instant mood booster for me. That and the fact that it's Friday. It's amazing to me how a particular color can do something to your mood and totally uplift you.

In previous posts I've explained how Fridays are meant for easy/casual styles with the sense of looking good without trying too hard. Today's post is me doing what I do best on Fridays. My paisley printed pants give off a fun vibe along with providing me with comfort. Some prints you want to be careful with when wearing them on your lower body, but with this pair I bought a few years back I've always found to be a good look for me. I paired them with this yellow top I got at my local thrift store along with a simple purse and strappy wedges. I kept everything simple so my pants could stand out. My accessories are understated yet go together with my overall outfit without competing with my pants and top.

I think it's safe to say Fridays and anything with the color yellow go nicely together! How about we say, "On Fridays we wear Yellow"? Just a thought....

See you guys soon,
Xoxo
