May is a month of celebration for me and my family. Last year we celebrated my birthday, wedding anniversary and Mothers Day all in one by taking a family vacation to Charleston, SC. My husband decided to make that an annual tradition, so we went to Charleston again.
I wanted to make some Mommy and Me outfits for the vacation, but I only had time to make one, so I decided to use what was already in my wardrobe and sew what I could last minute. Two of the outfits are made by me, two are RTW.
Here are some pictures of the outfits I styled for myself and my lil’ muchkin!
Outfit # 1:I had this dress for a while, Its slighty big on me around the waist, so I cinched in the waist with this nautical belt I love. The belt was also big, so I quickly altered it to make it snug. For my daughter I happened to find this perfectly matching eyelet dress at Target.
we went to dinner with some friends that night and my kid took over the dance floor. Of course I had to go join her. I copied all her dance moves:)
Outfit # 2: On Mothers day, my husband and daughter took me to a yummy breakfast (my favorite meal of the day). My daughter slept in till 10 am and that was a very nice Mothers Day gift since I slept in too! We went to breakfast in our PJ’s, which was the icing on the cake. These were both made by me.
Outfit #3: I styled daughter and I in casual yet chic skinny jeans and white cotton shirts. We went to the street festival in Charleston. There was a lot of food and live music. My kid LOVES music and drops everything and starts dancing the moment she hears the sound of music. Seems like she loves the blues and jazz.
We started the day off with a nice hello Kitty card from my darling daughter.
Then we strolled to the street festival in downtown Charleston. My kid danced to her heart’s content…
And she made a friend..
Love her stylish hat.. 🙂 We even wore matching ankle bracelets, both gifts from my mum.
Here she is dancing with her pappa…
And then.. we found a fountain….
And got drenched 🙂
Outfit # 4: I wore this leopard print top I made a few months back. I paired it with cute black shorts and pumps. Mini me wore a dropped waist skater dress in the same print. I think my kid looked a little bit like Pebbles Flintstone, and this might have been a bit much, but I still enjoyed being matchy matchy. We don’t wear matching outfits much, but it is something I want to enjoy before she gets too big 🙂
This picture pretty much sums up my life… running after my kid on the go!
I just realised my lipper matches my kids fascinator, but that was not intentional!I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day weekend!
Until next time!
