Living in Seattle, you can’t escape the love for football around here, especially the Seahawks. Once football season starts, I will walk out the door and immediately see Seahawks jerseys on everyone. I admit, I’m not the biggest football fan and I usually go to games or football parties to spend time with friends. However, the fashionista in me also wants to make sure that I fit in with the football crowd as well as stay stylish. Here are 3 ways to stay stylish for football games!

ADD VARIETY TO YOUR FOOTBALL WARDROBE

Along with buying clothes in the colors of your team, I do love adding jerseys to my outfits. I can’t really justify the need to buy a jersey which is why I love Rep the Squad! It’s a new subscription service where you can rent your jersey, wear it and then send it back to get a new one sent to you! They’ll even wash it for you so you don’t even have to worry about doing the laundry before sending it back. They have a ton of styles, colors, players, etc… so you have tons of options to choose from! You can also cancel at any time – so no big commitments!

My daughter loves to dress like mommy and to be honest, I love it too, but for the most part, I don’t dress us exactly the same, on occasion I do love to be matchy matchy and football games is a good time for that! Rep the Squad also has kid’s jerseys which you can subscribe to as well. I love how practical this is, rather than spending a lot of money on a jersey that they will end up growing out of, you can just continue getting them new jerseys and picking the size that they need!

SIZING TO FIT

Most often, clothing related to sports like tees, jerseys, sweatshirts all tend to run big so I like to size down to ensure that I get a more fitted and feminine look which is more my style. I’m actually wearing a kid’s XL jersey here and found that it was a great fit, especially tucked into my jeans.

ADD SOME FUN SHOES TO YOUR LOOK!

It would be cute to find shoes in the color of your team but I don’t really know if I have any other reason to buy blue or green shoes which is why I love the rose gold sneakers that I chose to wear with this outfit. It’s still casual and goes along with the sporty outfit but it’s also fun and girly and just my style! You don’t have to wear sneakers, you can even go with cute boots or flats. I find that you can always add personality to your outfit with your shoes!

And of course, have fun with your look! I love football fans and how loyal they are to their teams. I love seeing the crazy fun fashions at football games so feel free to add your own twist!

I’m always looking for stylish winter outfits inspiration for my daughter and I. Sometimes it can be so hard to pull together cute outfits during the winter, but most importantly I want my daughter and I to be warm and dry. We recently got some new boots and we were excited to test them out!

Living in Seattle, we do get snow occasionally but we mostly deal with a lot of rain and wind. So, every winter I make sure that both my daughter and I have a very warm coat and rain-proof boots. The first place I go to for both me and my daughters boots is Zappos! I just love the variety and that I can shop for both of us (and my husband) all in one spot, along with the free shipping and the super easy return policy. I am obsessed with these Kamik lace up boots. They are so warm and comfy! I tested them in the rain and they held up nicely! My feet stayed so toasty and dry. I also love how stylish they are and are so easy to wear with my skinny jeans or leggings. I went by the reviews and went up a full size and they are a perfect fit with socks.

What child doesn’t love splashing in puddles? My child definitely does! When I showed her these cute Kamik rain boots with the pink bottoms, she was so excited she wanted to put them on immediately! I was happy with how they felt, they were a nice weight, not too heavy but just enough to know that they would keep her protected in the rain or snow. And they fit her perfectly (we stayed true to size) and were so easy to put on. Nothing worse than when you are running out the door and struggling to get your child’s shoes on right?

5 Tips for the perfect winter outfit:

STYLISH WEATHER-PROOF SHOES

It’s so easy to get in a rut and just keep wearing the same pair of shoes over and over again in the winter. Especially with my daughter as sometimes we are just in a rush to get out the door and I don’t want to sit there and think about the weather and what shoes will work with it. I don’t like to have her wear the same shoes day after day as she does so much running and playing at her school. I just find that they get worn out so easily if she wears the same pair too often, so I always get her a few pairs that will last her through the season and I’m always happy to find a reasonably priced rain boot like these.

For myself, I have always loved the standard tall rain boots but I can’t wear them all the time so I love that I have more options for rainy days and that these keep my feet a lot warmer. I love all the styles that Kamik offers for both me and my daughter. They have tons of options for rain and snow. I’m already eyeing a few other styles for us!

COZY JACKET WITH HOOD:

I prefer jackets that have a warm lining, plenty of pockets (you’ll need them for those mittens that always get taken off!) and a hood to help keep you warm. My daughter’s jacket has built in thumb holes which I thought were such a great idea for kid’s jackets! She thought it was the neatest thing and loved being able to put her little thumb through.

LAYERING FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS:

It’s the worst when you are bundled for the cold and then the moment you step inside the heat is on and suddenly you are uncomfortably hot! I always start with a tee shirt for my daughter as inevitably she will complain about being too hot. She is much like her daddy and runs warm all the time, but I am always cold so I end up bundling her up more than she’d probably like! I love layering sweaters and vests so that your body stays warm but the vest is easy to take off if you end up being too cold. The vest is also great underneath coats in case you need that extra bit of warmth and it doesn’t create too much bulk.

ADDING THE PERFECT WINTER ACCESSORIES

Hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, ear muffs, headbands, etc… there’s so many winter accessories you can add! I usually stick with something that can cover my head and my hands, like a hat and gloves or scarf and gloves. Because the more accessories you add, the more you have to take off and have the potential of losing! And then with a 4 year old, I’m the one that’s going to end up holding all of her stuff so I try not to overload both of us with too much stuff.

WHEN YOU NEED MORE WARMTH

Sometimes it just isn’t enough and it’s still so cold. I have a few things that I love to add more warmth like fleece lined leggings, fleece socks (I wear them all the way up to my knees!) and fur lined gloves. Oh and fingerless gloves with the mittens attached at the end are some of the best inventions for mom and daughter! It keeps your hands so warm but you’re also able to use your fingers easily when needed.

The easiest halloween costume for mommy and daughter!

I’m excited to share another fun DIY Mommy and Me Halloween Costume! We are going to a few costume parties as well as trick or treating so my daughter will get to dress up as something different for each occasion. I don’t usually do so many costumes, but I just happened to have the right things to create all the costumes so it worked out well and this one only took about 30 minutes to make!

DIY Strawberry and Banana Mommy and Daughter Costume

For a very easy (and last minute if needed!) costume is our strawberry and banana mommy and daughter costume! I just thought this was very appropriate for us as my daughter and I are the biggest fruit lovers around.

SIMPLE DIY STRAWBERRY DRESS AND HEADBAND

I ordered the dresses and used white felt to cut out the strawberry seeds and then used stiff netting and wrapped them around headbands to create some cute fruit toppers!

DIY Strawberry and Banana Costume Materials:

DIY MOMMY BANANA COSTUME

The final touch to my costume of course was the Chiquita Banana sticker! I just found an image on the internet, enlarged it and printed it out!

SIMPLE AND COMFORTABLE DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

One of the big reasons why I love this costume is just how darn comfy it is! These knit jersey dresses are so comfy and add in the crocs and I’m like – oh man I could wear this all day! 🙂 Probably not the costume we’ll go trick or treating in (I can’t wait to show you that costume!) but this will be great for some of the indoor parties we will be going to.

Hope you have a fun halloween! Let me know if you make any of the costumes, I would love to see!
