I never thought I would be the mom in the Lilly Pulitzer dress that matches her daughter’s, but that was before I had Ella, and certainly before she was able to express her strong preference toward dresses – pretty pink dresses, to be more specific. So, for the occasion of heading on our first spring break trip as a family and to a location as beachy and beautiful as Grand Cayman, I thought the splurge was justified. And we have Taylor, in his backwards baseball cap, NFL tee and shorts from two years ago, which helps bring down the girlie factor.

Taylor’s outfit details and links: All too old and worn to be available anymore! Just how every guy in my family likes their clothes. ( :

This sweater used to catch my eye every time I would walk by it in the store, but the price tag was way too steep for what is essentially a sweatshirt. But it’s now on sale, and it adds a great pop of color and pattern to my wardrobe and is a nice piece that can be dressed up or worn casual with jeans and flats. I find myself reaching for it when I need a little mood boost.

I bought this t-shirt a few weeks ago because it instantly reminded me of vintage sports shirts, and as is the case with most shirts, I love anything with a longer length. I figure if I’m not going to follow the NCAA tourney this year (not sure why, just didn’t), the least I could do is to dress a little sporty. I stole the sweater vest look right from the Banana Republic window and paired with some new sneakers that I love. Especially as it relates to the t-shirt and shoes, I see a lot of wear for these during this spring and summer.
