what i wore + what we did: san francisco
Brandon and I celebrated our five (!!) year wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. I’d been itching for a trip to San Francisco so we made the drive down to one of my favorite cities.
We would always spend our anniversary in San Francisco while we were dating and it was really cool to spend a wedding anniversary there too — this time with our little guy!
We embraced a slow pace and stuck to activities we knew wouldn’t overstimulate Isaac. We were able to mostly avoid the crowds and ended up having a really great, truly chill time. Here’s what we did, in case you find yourself heading to San Francisco with a four month old baby!
fall 2018 capsule wardrobe
The sunflower bloom is over, the leaves are starting to change and the sun is setting earlier and earlier. Everything is signaling fall here in California – except the weather. It's still sunny and fairly warm here.
Although the leaves are changing and falling, the weather is not. We get anything from mild mid-70s to hot mid-90s weather during fall here, meaning my shorts and sandals get good use until the rain shows up.
summer 10x10: outfit 5
The halfway mark of the summer 10x10 is here!
I was really excited about this outfit when I was thinking through my looks for the challenge. In my head this outfit was going to feel light and airy and summery but in reality, it's pretty boring.
summer 10x10 day 4: warm tone monochrome
It's day 4 of the summer 10x10 challenge!
I've pretty much stayed in my outfit comfort zone for the first three days of this challenge and I thought it was time to mix things up. One of my goals is to boldly use color and this outfit is my attempt at that.
summer 10x10 day 3: madewell style
This outfit screams Madewell even though none of the pieces are from there. I didn't set out to replicate Madewell's styling but it's really easy to do with Target's Universal Thread collection – which is so heavily inspired by Madewell, it’s hilarious!
summer 10x10 day 2: thrifted tee + cotton shorts
Welcome to day 2 of the summer 10x10!
We have plans to spend the day visiting Brandon’s family so they can hang out with Isaac. These are good, low key Saturdays where we lounge around, eat all the barbecue and fruit and catnap while the grandparents love on our babe.
summer 10x10 day 1: rust tank top + denim shorts
It's day 1 of the summer 10x10 challenge!
My main goal is to keep it colorful and what better piece to do that with than this rust orangey/yellow tank top.
summer 10x10 challenge kick off
It’s officially Summer 10x10 time! This challenge always seems to come around when I’m lacking inspiration with my wardrobe. It's got perfect timing because I think the best time to play with limits is when I feel myself reaching for the same pieces.
on getting dressed
When we first brought Isaac home, I spent most of my time wearing whatever I'd worn to bed the night before. The first month can be such a shock to your daily rhythm that you can hardly even think about what to wear. I basically only got dressed for church on Sundays.
I started noticing that I felt good about myself on Sundays and could handle the craziness of being a new parent better on those days.
