Fashion Friday- Themes

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions, other obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

As I was looking through my fashion board on Pinterest, I noticed some definite themes, and I thought it would be fun to share a couple of the styles I’ve been loving lately.

Pleated Skirts

I bought a green pleated midi skirt at a resale store for last year’s Halloween costume. It turned out that I love wearing the skirt normally, so that purchase was a total win-win. I’m loving how these gals styled their pleated skirts- they look cute and a bit fancy.

Blue & White

Blue and white is just a timeless combination.

Crochet & Lace

Crochet and lace are always a favorite, but they seem especially springy and fun right now.

Black & White

Another timeless combination. Maybe it’s just me, but wearing just black and white seems to make any outfit elegant.

Polka Dots & Stripes

Polka dots and stripes forever. Seriously, what’s better than a great striped shirt or a cute polka dotted skirt? Nothing, in my opinion 🙂

That’s it! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

Fanatics MLB Baseball Hat Outfit Challenge

Posted in obsessions, other obsessions, the important stuff by mydaughterandiblog

Hey all!

Fanatics is an awesome company that sells all kinds of clothing for fans of basically all sports- football, basketball, Nascar, hockey, soccer, the Olympics, college sports, and, of course, baseball! The best part about Fanatics is that they are the perfect place to start if you’re wanting a great game-day outfit. When building cute game-day style, it can be hard to find a large selection of clothes from your favorite team, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the huge variety of designs that Fanatics carries- there’s truly something for everyone!

Because of their great selection of products, I decided to design a great game-day outfit based around a MLB baseball hat that I picked from their website. I was super excited to design an outfit based around a baseball cap! Even though we don’t watch a whole lot of baseball around here, I absolutely love heading down to PetCo Park in San Diego to watch a Padre’s game once in a while. The atmosphere at PetCo Park is so cool- it’s right in the middle of downtown San Diego, and there are so many fun things to do around there. Another great thing about PetCo is the food- they have such amazing food choices, which just adds to the general fun of a baseball game 🙂

I could totally see myself wearing this outfit to a baseball game- it’s so comfy and cute. Fanatics has a huge variety of baseball hats for whichever team is your favorite- I chose a super cool, two-tone flat-bill Padre’s hat, and built a perfect outfit around that.

I had such a fun time designing my game-day outfit and hope that you enjoyed the finished product! Make sure to check out Fanatics– especially their amazing selection of baseball hats!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Fashion Friday- Made for Adventure

Posted in Fashion Friday, obsessions by mydaughterandiblog

Happy Friday! Despite how much I love dresses and skirts, I also really love easy clothes- jeans, flannels, sweat-shirts, that kind of thing. So that’s what I chose for this week’s Fashion Friday- comfy clothing that I love. Enjoy!

Foggy Shore Long-Sleeve

In case you hadn’t already figured this out, I have a thing for flannels. They are seriously the best. A great place to get a cheap flannel is in the men’s section of thrift stores- a men’s small is a good fit and so comfortable. This flannel from Tilly’s is adorable though- I saw it in person, and it’s perfect.
Klettersack

This little company from Colorado makes some amazing backpacks and other outdoor gear- their stuff is a bit pricey, but so very cool.
National Parks Pass Top

Tank tops like this adorable one from Modcloth are my favorite kind of summer shirt.
Classic Denim Joggers

I bought these comfy jeans from Forever21 a couple of weeks ago. They feel a bit like Aladdin’s pants 😉 so cute and unusual.
Loly in the Sky- Caroline

There’s something about these quirky oxfords that I absolutely love- I smile every time I see them.

Anorak Jacket

This jacket is nearly identical to my favorite jacket that I bought from Tilly’s last fall. It’s a great basic piece and is a perfect weight for our mild California winters.
