Sunday Best

White/gold sequin dress (similar here, they have so many great ones like this, this & this too)| Sunglasses : Yoyomelody | gold heels: BCBG via Thredup, my favorite store! 
This is my favorite dress I own.  My favorite combination of colors has to be white/cream and gold, they’re just so classy and elegant together.  It’s also the colors of my wedding!  The shoes I got from BCBG via Thredup that is practically brand new, but for about 30% of the original price.  I talked about Thredup on a previous post, but man, I’m obsessed with that store.  If you click on this link Thredup and then use the code: BTX7Y9, you’ll get 40% off your first order!  Or use code: B2S5XC for $20 off $100.

Sunday Best and my new favorite online store!

~ Etc.

top: Target | floral pleated skirt | bag: Brahmin(similar) | shoes: Thredup | pave coin necklace: PaveMaison | bracelet: J.Crew
I’ve been looking for a gold pave coin necklace and finally found one at PaveMaison.  It’s simple yet elegant and fancy.  And I got my shoes for $15 from a store I just found out about, Thredup.  It’s an amazing store that sells gently used designer brand clothes at an awesome price!  It’s basically an awesome thrift store that’s online.  It’s my favorite store to shop right now and I’ve been telling my friends about it, it’s that good!  I am not getting paid to promote the site, I genuinely really love it(I wouldn’t be promoting any site unless I love it, whether it was sponsored or not).  I love the idea of shopping at thrift stores but hardly go in the store because it’s overwhelming with so many items that you have to sort through.  But with shopping online, you can filter it by brand, size, color, or categories, it makes it so easy!  I also hate the smell of clothes from thrift stores, the “used clothes” smell, but you get a cleaned, no-smell clothes from Thredup, I love it.  You do have to scroll through quiet a lot before finding an item you like, at least that’s how it is for me, since there’s a ton of items but it beats going into the store and rummaging through one by one.  
I’ve made two orders already and found awesome deals.  I got these shoes for $15 and all my items I received are practically brand new, some brand new with tags attached.  I also got two pairs of gold shoes from BCBG, a J.Crew army vest for my daughter for $18, GAP overalls for my son for $3, Seven for all mankind jeans for $38, Nike apparel for under $10, among many more.  I’m a little addicted! 
If you click on this link Thredup and then use the code: BTX7Y9, you’ll get 40% off your first order!  Or use code: B2S5XC for $20 off $100.  Anyway, that’s enough of my love for this store for today. 🙂

*If you click on the Thredup link, I will earn a $10 credit to my account from your first purchase.  You get 40% off, and I get $10 store credit, we both win! 🙂

Mother & daughter Sunday best

~ Etc.

Daughter’s outfit: dress: Joules c/o | rain boots: Target
Mother’s outfit: dress: Banana Republic | rain boots: Joules c/o
My daughter and I were matching in our eyelet dresses and rain boots.  I had a hard time picking which rain boots I liked because Joules offers so many cute ones(and they’re on sale for only $45), which you can check out here.  My daughter and I have similar tastes(it wasn’t before but her taste is becoming more like mine, muhahaha) where we both love unique fabrics such as embroidery, lace, eyelet and such so it’s fun to shop for her because if I love it, chances are she’ll love it too.  She always goes through my closet and asks, “Mommy, when I get older can you give me this dress?  This top?  Ooh, I love this dress too, mommy can I?”  
She is my little fashionista and I love her for it.

His & hers Sunday best

~ Etc.

His outfit: shirt: gifted | pants | bow-tie | moccasins 
Her outfit: top | skirt | bag: Brahmin similar here & here | shoes: vintage find
It is getting so difficult to take a picture of Aiden sitting still.  This guy is moving and squirming everywhere, every minute!  I told my daughter to carry him and put him on his lap, and I managed to get one picture before he squirmed away.  He is going to walk any minute now but I’m in no hurry for him to walk, I already watch him every second of the day to make sure he’s safe, can you imagine my anxiety when he starts walking?

His & Hers Sunday Best

~ Etc.

“I just woke up.  Do you like my bed hair?”
He is contemplating about the purpose of life.
His outfit: striped onesie: GAP | moccasins: Freshly Picked c/o
Her outfit: lace dress (love this one too) | colorblock heels: Romwe | bag: Brahmin
If you know me, you know I love lace and feminine clothes.  So as you can imagine, I own a lot of lace tops & dresses.  This lace dress is my favorite cream lace dress I own yet!  It’s hard to find dresses that are close to my knee and I love that it’s longer.  I wear a nude color cap-sleeve shirt underneath(because I am LDS and get to wear the special undergarments 😉 and I’m also wearing a spaghetti strap slip-dress underneath.  I need to go find myself a cap-sleeve slip dress so I don’t have to wear so many layers!
Also, I lost my camera charger so I’ve been taking pictures with my phone only.  I promise I’ll have better quality pictures next time!  I can’t promise you about better poses though, I’m still working on that one. 🙂
