I love all of the Coachella inspired fashion that comes out around this time each year. But I feel like a lot of it is just not practical for my lifestyle- I am crazy about this hat but seriously. Could you imagine me in a flowy sundress and a fringey bag, wearing this hat and walking with a client (assuming I still had one) into Court? "Your Honor, let me take off my flower crown before we begin". Riiigghhht. I am always trying to take whatever the trends are and adapt them to my lifestyle. 5 days of the week- I am in lawyer mode. Weekends? Mostly yoga pants and anything that lets me move and do mommy things! When I saw the hat at Nordstrom, I wanted something a little more versatile than a festival type sundress to wear it with. I spotted this white eyelet skirt (also at Nordstrom) and was sold. I think it will also look so cute with a graphic t and some Chucks, or maybe a zip up hoodie and some flat sandals. And this little leather bag... I got it on Etsy ( I am a HUGE supporter of small businesses, especially those run by women) and the monogramming. I am UHbsessed with it. Everything I own that can be monogrammed... is. I love it. Its sort of unhealthy, how much I want to monogram things. Almost everything my daughter wore until age 3 was initialed. I was trying to talk my husband into giving our dogs a middle name so we could get them monogrammed collars (totally normal, right?)
This was such a fun shoot. First, I am outdoors and I love anything that gets me out of the house and into the sunshine. I am a high energy gal and prone to skipping, leaping etc at the drop of a (floppy, blush-colored) hat. It doesn't take much to make me happy :) Plus, it was the magic hour- that dusky time of the day when its not yet night, but no longer day- you know? I love LOVE this time. Dusk is my favorite. I feel like anything can happen- and (judging by my leap) - it did! It's the dancer in me (or in my head)! Thank you so much for stopping by and we hope your week is amazing!
