Mom Jeans

Sooo. . . . I'm a mom and I wear jeans - usually skinny jeans, or cropped jeans, sometimes boyfriend jeans . . But what about "Mom Jeans"?  That term used to classify a high waisted, slightly baggy, faded denim that was favoured by moms in the 1980s, and wasn't particularly flattering.  Well, let me tell you that mom jeans are back!  I have been seeing them everywhere, but mostly on the likes of models and super bloggers in the world of Instagram.  I was tempted to try this new brand of mom jeans - and here are the results on a sunny day in the park.  I'm not sure I like them really??  What do you guys think?? xo

Double Buckle

This was an outfit I wore for a weekend day out with the family - it's so comfy and practical while still being stylish - - not to mention cheap!!  Everything I'm wearing (except for the shoes and sunglasses) is from Penney's/ Primark.  These ankle grazing jeans are "so hot right now", to steal a quote from Zoolander :)  I'm also in love with this double buckle belt.  It's an affordable version of the B-Low The Belt brand loved by celebs.  Happy weekend everyone, it finally feels like spring! xo

Off the Shoulder

I am obsessed with all things off the shoulder at the moment!  Forget boobs, butts and legs, the shoulder is the new erogenous zone.  It's where it's at :) Last weeks good weather is gone and it seems to be back to the old typical Irish sweater weather this April.  I recently went on a major shopping spree on Missguided and got this great off the shoulder sweater.  It's so cozy and comes in four different colours and it's a total steal at under 30 euros.  I paired it with this fluffy River Island bag and my favourite ripped white jeans from Penney's for a casual day in the park with the kids.  xo

Side Slits and a Fringe

Well, it's only a few weeks into January and I'm back to my monochrome ways!  It's a well known fact that New Years resolutions don't last very long. . .When it comes to fashion, it makes sense to stick to a tried and true formula that works for your body type while staying true to your personal style.  That being said, it's fun to try new things and push the boundaries out as well!  I bought this sweater at Cos last week in Dublin.  It's part of the new collection and a great way to transition into the spring while staying warm.  I love the unique buttons down the side that you can wear open or closed for layering.  xo

Fresh Princess

Happy new year everyone! As one of my resolutions, I would like to try to incorporate more colour into my wardrobe. . .starting after this outfit post!  I decided to call this look "Fresh Princess" because it reminds me a lot of my childhood in the early 90's growing up and watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" on TV.  If anyone else remembers and loves that show as much as I do, then you will know what I am talking about! The faux fur coat is very princessey like Hilary, while the Isabel Marant high tops and crop top are a bit more funky like Will.  This outfit is a great laid back alternative to a dress or skirt for going out.  And I must say the coat was a steal in Penney's for only 40 euros and looks much more expensive! xo

Playing Catch Up: Part 2

Here's a look back at some of the casual outfits I wore over the past few months.  When I'm not working I just like to be as comfy as possible and I usually wear sweaters, T-shirts and jeans.  Sometimes when I'm really lazy I'll even wear leggings and a baggy sweatshirt, but you won't be seeing those outfits here!! I've also been favouring tops with clever, cheeky slogans lately, as you can see!

 Thanks for stopping by.  xo
