This was an outfit from a few days ago, in which I made my first attempt at wearing the vintage blazer found recently at the Goodwill. Blazers seem to be everywhere these days and just when I thought it was a trend that I would be skipping (they can be tricky fit-wise), this one came along and there you have it, I'm dressed like a boy.
The vintage plaid shirt is one I thrifted for Lucas awhile back (the label says: The Men's Store) but I'm kinda liking it for me now, the little plaid hair bow is from a thrifted vintage boy's bow tie, and the sock/shoe combo was inspired by this.
This weekend was about getting our little family unit into the Christmas spirit... tree decorating, garland and stocking hanging, and Christmas music listening (The Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is back in heavy rotation :)
Some Sunday morning moments and more styling magic from little Clover (who knew the fairy tutu was such a versatile piece? ;)Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

What a fun outfit and your lil one is so beautiful!
I'm a big fan of blazers too - they can be a bit boyish, but as you show they can look good! Happy holiday season :)
You have the knack for finding good jackets (this one and the green one a few posts down, to name but a few)! I seem to never be able to find any blazers apart from the HUGE boxy 80s ones! Both of you look lovely!
nice outfit! I have yet to embrace the blazer trend myself.
Your christmas tree looks lovely yoo. Love the ornaments!
you are rockin the blazer, lady! yeah i didnt have internet for a minute so ive been missing in action and we do have a new address. your package is being mailed out tomorrow. yay! finally! and clover is looking fabulous these days. her outfits reming me of that 13 year old blogger tavi thats getting really popular these days. i think her blog is called "style rookie". anyways...happy holidays! miss you guys!
I can never find blazers to fit me - i guess I'm not a very boyfirendy type shape! anyway, yours looks great and clover is adorable as usual!
Ooooh Clover looks so precious!
I love your look and the blazer! It fits you perfectly. I have not yet come across one that fits me that well.
I love the look of a blazer (which you have pulled off so well here!), but you're right - they can be difficult fit-wise. I still haven't found one that fits just right.
xoxoxo
very nice! i have been feeling the same way about blazers. i keep passing them in the thrift store, but after this post i think i'll be stopping. the whole outfit is awesome!
the shots of clover are adorable!
cute blazering :) and is that a potted christmas tree? I like that idea.
I absolutely adore this outfit. Super cute!
Hello loveliest of mothers besides my own! :) You look charming in these boy clothes, the bow-tie added an awesome girly twist. I really dig your Christmas tree too and the fact that it's as real as can be. I can imagine how great it smells all fresh and piney. My aunt gets real trees too, it's delightful walking into her house and snifing the air all piney at Christmas.
Oh I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my blog about the fig tree! I'm jealous you have one but I'm most glad for you. And all thanks to that comment I learned what *espaliered* was! Thank you for teaching me that word! It blew my mind with joy at seeing such beautiful tree designs. And I can’t believe you got married under an oak tree, tis the tree I’m fondest of. Musta been a magical wedding.
love the outfit and she is precious!
cute boyish look. Yes blazers are good, trend or not it's always in style.
Ooh, I LOVE this outfit. The cut of the blazer is so perfect!
Also, I love dressing like a boy. Sounds weird but it's true.
Also also, Clover is super cute.
Awesome outfit,tree and daughter!
i recently found a "knockabouts by pendleton" blazer at the store i work at. as cute as it is, i couldn't figure out how to work it. this outfit you've created is sweet, simple, stylish and rad. i am very, very impressed!
i love your little table top tree.
and the blazer looks great!
OOh you are both so gorgeous!

Hope you and your family are doing great!
Lots of LOVE!
Mila.

Beautiful photos, the lighting in the one with Clover by the tree is just perfect :-)
I've had a crock similar to the one under your tree in the back of my car for weeks now. Found it all dusty down in my grandmothers basement so I rescued it with a plant in mind, but I'm totally going to borrow this idea for our tabletop tree!
Ps. I've always been particular to the "boyish" look myself. I'm definitely a button down/cardigan/blazer wearing typea gal, so this outfit is a yes! as far as I'm concerned. very cute.

Seriously- way to rock the blazer! I always feel weird about wearing those, but you fully pulled it off. The bow is perfect.
And little Miss Clover! So big!

As tailored as this look is, you manage to make it look feminine and whimsy. You hit the jackpot finding that blazer!
Clover is msuch a minature fashionista! A real cutie. Anyway, you really rocked this blazer. I absolutely adore your look!
