Jean Jacket Search

Posted in Kid's Corner, Style by

It can still get a little chilly some days here in Rochester and the temperature definitely drops when the sun goes down.  I’ve been on the look out for a super cute jean jacket for Reagan for those days when a heavy sweatshirt is too much and a light sweater isn’t enough. I  haven’t had much luck in the size department, it’s one of those things that I really want…so it’s inevitable that her size will always be sold out or the only one left in her size will be defective; with a gigantic red stain on the front.

I was up before Reagan this morning, to see my husband off on a motorcycle trip, so I decided to do a little searching.

I found some super cute jackets, between twenty and fifty dollars, and available in her size! Now, the question is…which ones do I order?

Maxxinista Finds

I’ve always been a fan of TJ Maxx and Marshall’s but never stopped by their jewelry counters. A couple months back Kim, from Penny Pincher Fashion , posted a picture on Instagram of an incredible necklace that she had found at TJ with the hashtag #maxxinista. After scrolling through other people’s great jewelry finds, I made it a point to look next time I was in a store. While it is definitely hit or miss because every store carries different merchandise, I have found some gorge pieces at maxxinista prices. I guess all those commercials they air constantly are paying off (and helping me save at the same time!) Have you found any great pieces?

This reminded me of the J.Crew cluster with orange accents!

I’m totally in love with floral print pants for toddler’s. They seem to be a go to piece for Reagan these past few weeks as this Rochester weather figures itself out. Jeans weather is my ultimate favorite.  I love a comfy pair of jeans paired with a t-shirt, a light sweater and sandals. (The lovely bruise is a result of a deck spill at Ev’s house… this poor girls head sure does always hit the ground first…97 percentile or greater…boom!)
