Little Pumpkin

These are some pictures from last week that I forgot to post. I love that it's finally fall here! Maia got her own tiny pumpkin -- it's just her size. :-)

Maia the Bee

We had a fun Halloween yesterday sitting on the porch handing out candy until it ran out. Maia was a bumble bee and was very cozy in her little fleece costume. She was intrigued by all of the kids and costumes! :-)



the wings on the back:



I was pleased with myself for getting such a good deal on this costume. It's from the Gap but I got it on Ebay for 99 cents plus shipping!

Mommy & Maia: Weekend Edition

This has been a busy weekend for me but I still got to spend some fun time with my family. Here are some snapshots of me and my girl. She's growing like a weed and I'm constantly pulling out new clothes for her to try. She's definitely outgrown lots of her old clothes in length! In the first picture she's wearing a dress as a tunic top over pants because it's really too short as a dress now but still fits on top. You can't see the pants in the picture but they were a cute pair of white stretch pants with pink trim on the bottom that just happened to match the dark pink in the dress. I love how she's looking right at the camera (at Daddy actually) in this shot.



Here she's wearing an adorable plaid overall outfit one of her grandmas sent her. So cute!!

OOTD: Bow Skirt

I love the bow skirts that Emma Pillsbury wears on Glee, so I tried to recreate that look today with my bow belt and this pencil skirt. :-)

OOTD: Purple & Brown

I'm up early this morning working on Midterm grades that are due this afternoon, so I thought I'd do a quick post of yesterday's outfit. It's not so bad being up early when I've got a smiling little baby next to me on the couch. She's such a happy baby in the morning that she makes me smile in spite of my usual morning grouchiness. :-)

This wasn't a super-exciting outfit but this dress was so comfortable that I fell asleep in it on the couch after dinner. It got a little warmer during the day then I expected so the tights and boots weren't really necessary, but I liked them anyway. This is my first time wearing these new boots on the blog. I got them recently from JCPennys on sale. I've been wanting a pair of Steve Madden knock-offs and these are pretty good quality.

OOTD: Mixing Neutrals + Pops of Purple

We're finally getting some cooler weather here so I pulled out the tights and boots and plan to enjoy my fall weather, even if it's fleeting. :-) I think this outfit looked more interesting in real life than in does in this photo. I mixed grey and light brown and then added purple accents with the belt & tights.

I don't know if it's noticeable in this picture, but I got my hair cut recently. It's still long but less unruly. :-)

OOTD: Tropical Maia

Maia's outfit was so cute today that she gets her very own OOTD post! She's a little fashionista with the pattern mixing of her striped socks and floral pants. ;-) heehee It's still pretty warm in Florida so this passes as a fall outfit here. :-) She wore this to go out to lunch with her daddy today while I was teaching my classes this afternoon. :-)
