I don't get a chance to dress up very often and frankly I'm more comfortable in jeans. But when I saw this skirt it ended up in my shopping bag :) I figured it could be dressed up or dressed down. It's a great length that I can even wear it to work. The skirt is the highlight of this outfit, but I wanted to add some pops of color with the red bag and lips. It will definitely be a go-to skirt for me this fall!
Over the weekend we had a small celebration for the nuggets 6th birthday (today). We kept it just family this year. I'm all for celebrating, but the birthday parties can get a little out of control and I am really trying to teach my kids less is more and family is best. Although it was quiet, we still had a wonderful time. It's hard to believe it's been 6 years. I got teary eyed when we went to brunch yesterday and I realized it was 6 years ago, on a Sunday, that the Mr. and I were having brunch just the 2 of us. I was 9 months preganant expecting to go into a scheduled C-section on the following Wednesday. Ella decided she wanted to start the party early, so I went into labor early Monday morning. They were born at 6:51 & 6:53 am. Being a mother is harder than anyone can tell you. It's also the most rewarding, wonderful thing you'll ever experience. SO, Happy Birthday to my wonderful nuggets. I love you!

Happy Monday, thanks for stopping by!

I love a good effortless, chic look and you nail it all the time! That leather midi skirt is gorgeous, but I can't keep my eyes off your pumps. Happy Birthday to your nuggets! They are adorable and I always appreciate it when you share photos of them every now and then.

Hi Kate - Thanks! No it does not. Honestly I think it's a little big for a crossbody bag :) She does have smaller versions and I believe they have a strap.
DeleteI love the leather trend right now. You styled this midi perfectly! And happy birthday to those adorable nuggets of yours!
