Today was a busy day for us! Riley and I went to the park and chased froggies, went to the lake to be near the water and went hiking at Saylorville. To accomodate all these activites I threw her in a brand new set from Baby Gap outlet. So simple, but cute. :) The shoes are converse and the bowband is another beauty from LBB.
Today was Miss Riley's 2nd birthday!! My baby is growing up too fast! To her birthday lunch and playdate she wore the Matilda Jane Katie Lou dress and aqua ruffle leggings with her princess shoes and pink flowerband from Little Beauty Boutique. Mj+Lelli Kelly+LBB= perfect birthday outfit :)
Today was supposed to be the day of Riley's studio portraits to commemorate her second year of life. Unfortunately, the rude unprofessional non photographers at Portrait Innovations were incapable of doing their job and I had to take her out to Grey's Lake and do them myself. I am not a professional photographer and I would never claim to be one, but I think I handled taking her pics a hell of a lot better than they did (or rather, did not). 
Great fashion blog pic, right? She didn't want to have anything to do with taking a picture on this day.
However, this outfit WAS super adorable. It's from Janie & Jack's Sweet Coral Reef line, my favorite Janie and Jack summer line in the history of Janie & Jack. That should not be taken lightly. Owned most of it last summer, but held this outfit off for the next size so I could savor the beautiful blues and purples that look stunning on my little boo. The hat from last year still fits too, and in the fashion of J&J skirts, it is as notoriously big as all J&J skirts usually are, being a size 18-24 when she is wearing 2/3.
On Mondays, I usually leave to volunteer at the hospital for a few hours and then have class. Due to the H1N1 ordeal and no longer having class (woohoo), Riley, Daddy and I were able to spend a day together getting things done around the house and running errands. Something about putting huge flowers on Riley's head and intricate outfits and shoes bugs him I guess, so we stuck with simple today on our outings. This is the Matilda Jane Brownie Lap dress that I adore OH so much paired with some Converse and a "headband" from Coach. That's right, I combined my two loves. She has a few Coach headbands and wore them all the time last summer, but then I started getting comments from hoodlums on how cute they were and dropped the fashion statement. This year, I think it works. 
It was so nice out this morning that I ripped the tags off of this outfit as soon as Riley woke me. The skirt is from Janie & Jack, as is the headband and the shirt is just a plain white tee from Old Navy. I think it's such a simple and adorable outfit, and the skirt was a great length to run around at the park this morning. I sized up on the entire outfit, and I'm glad I did--this skirt will fit for awhile, the waist is a little loose right now but it didn't slip off. Janie & Jack always has the sweetest little sets, it was the majority of what she wore last summer and putting it on her today made me remember my sweet little baby learning to walk in her J&J dresses. :)
We recently recieved this little number in the mail, and I wasn't sure about it, but it works great as a comfy play set and I think it will grow on me once Riley grows into it a little better. The pants are the Matilda Jane Leafy Ruffles and they seem to be running big. The tank is the MJ Polkie Tank and it has a cute bow on the right shoulder that matches the Leafys perfectly. Tossed on a Pink Hippo flower clip and her Lelli Kelly "Princess" shoes and made it comfy and cute. We took this look to evening by changing shirts once the humidity started to falter by adding the MJ Westside Elaina in celery tunic and a blue flower clip from Pink Hippo. The greens match perfectly and I definitely love this combination and hope it still fits come fall!
