Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on yesterday’s big announcement. I am sending you all a warm hug. Olaf-style. I love knowing that you’ll be along for the crazy adventure. I really do appreciate the support more than you know.
Those of you who have been long-time readers know that my daughter has her own style. There is no question about it. She marches to the beat of her own drum and owns it. And I love that. When Nordstrom invited me to take a look at Fall finds for the children, I knew Riley would be all about it. And can I have an Amen for the fact that she picked out DARLING pieces. If you know us personally, you know that it’s not always easy in the fashion department with this nine year old.
I seriously want to stop all moms on the street and tell them to take a look at this cardigan/hoodie/jacket piece. I am not really sure what to call it because it’s a little bit of everything. I would like one in my size. And the reviews on this are fantastic. It’s soft and is a really cute alternative to a cardigan or jacket. Two thumbs up! And not really joking, I may go see if the large or extra large fits me.

I love the back detail on this. And there is a hood hidden by little missy’s hair. I also have a daughter who would wear jean shorts 365 days of the year and she actually loves these. These also received stellar reviews and I couldn’t agree more. They are actually jeggings and she loves them. They are long enough that she won’t out grow them anytime soon which I really appreciate.
You know those moments where you look at your child and can’t believe how mature they are? Looking through the lens I almost lost my breath because she suddenly looks so much older to me. I love this little one. The riding boots are from last year and these are almost identical.
I love this black jacket so much that I had to pair it with some more looks. The plaid had me at hello.

My sweet sister took this little one for a date day. They spent the entire day together just doing girl things. And of course they did some marathon shopping. She bought her this darling sweater and we both love it. Once again, I think I would like one in my size. It’s a fun addition to amp up her wardrobe. Anytime we can bust out from the tank top and shorts it’s all good.
And we just recently found this blouse. It is 100% her style and I highly recommend it. It has a built in tank top which is nice. The colors are great for fall and a fun piece with skirts, shorts and pants.
I love that sweater in the cranberry color, too. Very cute for fall. And the lace detail on the cable knit sweater is awfully cute.

The black cardigan my daughter was wearing also comes in that really pretty heather blue. It’s a bit more of a casual look and would be great for school everyday. She would be wearing the above looks with her Converse! I can count on that.

We are still in 90 degree temps over here, but one day it will be cold again. I rounded up some cute cold weather options below as well as some cute pieces for the active little one.

I hope you all enjoy your day. I am off to have coffee with a dear friend and plan out our year as the room-moms. I love being a part of the second grade classroom. The children are crazy cute and so innocent. Always puts a smile on my face.

her first outfit is my favorite! My niece is turning 8 this year and there’s something about the riding boots that just makes them look grown up and no longer like a little kid! I love it!
Yes! That’s my favorite, too. I just can’t believe how much she is growing up. Have a great day, Meghan. xo
Could she be any cuter!? I think not! Such a little lady!
Awe, thanks, Natasha. Hard to believe she isn’t a little girl running around in pigtails. I must have blinked and she grew up.
She looks darling! And OMG…in the pic of her with her sweater facing away from you she looks like a mini you!! So grown up all the suden.
Thanks, Lauren. It’s funny you say that because when I pulled the photos off of the camera I really did think the same thing. Scary!
She is a darling girl Courtney and looks so much like you. It is amazing how fast they grow up! I love that black ruffle cardigan with the riding boots on her. Cute fringe vest! I want to shop in the girl’s department!
Thank you, Allison. I really did try on her little jacket. . .I think I need to go try it on in a larger size. Hooked. I often find fun shoes over there, too! Hope you’re having a lovely day, my friend.
I love the plaid bow!

Me too! It’s a favorite of ours.
Courtney,
Your daughter has the most amazing style. I would definitely wear that jacket and those rising boots. She definitely takes after you in the style department. I am putting out a post next week of my top ten favorite bloggers and I included your blog. I definitely mentioned your style!!!!

Oh, Jenn! That is so so sweet of you. Thank you so much. I look forward to checking it out. You’ve made my day.
She’s so pretty! And looks like she’s a fashionista like her mom. Love that black jacket too and the sweater.
Well, thank you! She definitely has her own style and I can’t say we always see eye to eye. . .but I’m learning to let go! SO much fun watching her grow into a young lady. Time certainly has flown.
This cardigan is similar and I LOVE it, do comfy, wear it all the time and ordered a 2nd and 3rd!! http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/bobeau-one-button-fleece-wrap-cardigan-regular-petite/3113609?origin=category
