Things I love {Trendy Little Link Up}


 I love that this gal has style all her own.

 I love that this one always says, "Too many pictures, Mommy!".

I love that this one begged for the frog basket, and that she actually posed.

I love that in her mind this was the appropriate attire for Costco.
Wedge sandals that are way too small.  Purse.  Fairy wings and wand.
My old sunnies.  Leggings, and Forever21 top.  She styled this all on her own.

I love that Mac insisted on wearing her "monster truck" shirt.
A hand me down from her cousin JT, who is now 12!

I love that my girls have their own personalities.  I love that yesterday, we had the windows down and Taylor Swift blasting.  I love that Mac asks for the "piggy" song... She says that Taylor sounds like that piggy in the insurance commercial, when she sings we are never getting back together.  I love that she drew that conclusion all on her own.  I love that Caitlin likes only the fast songs, and begs me to change the slow songs.  I love that Mac actually knows the chorus to "Stay", and sings it when she thinks we aren't listening.  I love that Mac yells at me when I sing along in the car.  I get it girls, I can't carry a tune... 

I love that they are carving their own places out in this world.
And I love that they are sure to leave colorful and creative marks every step of the way.


Linking up with Chelsea for Trendy Littles

What Caitlin Wore {The "Stylish"}



Most of the time getting Caitlin dressed is the biggest fight of the day.  Girlfriend has her own style.  At a week shy of 5 years old, she could in fact be the next Rachel Zoe.  I say that because she mixes prints like you see pinned on Pinterest.  She wears the oddest color combos, and yet pulls them off gloriously.  It's not uncommon to see her in a tutu and halter top, which by the way, why are we making halter tops in 5T? 


Anyway, Father's Day was no exception.  Let me start by saying that it was 109 degrees on Sunday.  One. Oh. Nine.  So right off the bat, I was pushing for a nice sundress, one of four hanging in her closet.  I was also pushing for it to be a fairly new one, since lately she wants to wear the ratty one, since the other nice ones are for "later".  "Later" is used quite loosely.  Since we were going to be swimming most of the day anyway, I just nodded in agreement to her fashion choices.  Here is what she picked out.


B&W Stripped Leggings - Target (part of a set)
Zebra Tank - Forever 21 (I'm in awe of the kids dept)
Red Butterfly Hat - Vendor at the Fresno Home & Garden Show
Purple Flippies - Old Navy (and too small)
Capri Sun - Vons


I've been told by a dearest Mommy friend, who has a 5 year old fashionista that this is normal behavior for a 5 year old.  However, we've been having this convo since the girls were 4.  I'm still adjusting to this kid, my kid, who is a super fashionista since I could not pay the girl to wear a dress the first 3 years of her life.  Sandals either.  Girlie wore Vans and leggings to pretty much everything.  Yet, now she tells me that when she grows up she wants to be the "Fashion outfit picker".  I told her that's called a "stylist", and so she now says she wants to be a "stylish".

WWW: AbsoluteMommy tries out some "Fashion"

Last month I decided I would try out some WIW (what I wore) posts.  There are some fun link ups, but I knew that it would be great to challenge myself to actually get dressed.  You know besides those yoga pants.  So I really wanted a weekly WIW, but then the holidays hit and I put it and fashion of the back burner.  Also, I had started to post WCW (what Caitlin wore), to high light the fashion ingenuity that my four year old daughter has.  Seriously she will know your socks off.  I'm starting to call her "Lil' Zoe" after thee Rachel Zoe.  Seriously, I die!

So to start 2012 off right here are some looks that were tried in the last week of 2011, and a few from New Years day.  This post is kicking off MORE WIW and WCW, but today we are going to combine for WWW (what we wore). 

Also as an editor's note (me), I'm going to let you know that this will be all iPhone pics.  This is because my hubby falls out laughing when I ask him to photog my outfits.  Like he starts singing "Your so vain" and giggles and snickers.  While I know it's out of love, I get red and frustrated.  So I started doing my own pics in my bathroom mirror.  And that was fine until he found me doing it and got the slumberparty giggles... Alas, it is kind of laughable, but I'm having fun...

New Years Day
To say Caitlin is obsessed with unicorns is an understatement!
She LOVES them!  Wants a unicorn birthday, etc.
This entire look is by Target.  Wow, do we notice a trend here?
The Harajuku Mini shoes are to die for!  Gwen Stefani is the Wo-MAN!
Both girls have these shoes!  And hand to God, if they had my size I would too!
What do you think friends?  Did we do good?  Do I have a fashionista on my hands?  I'm going to have to get Mac in on this challenge too.  I feel a little guilty about leaving her out.  However her style includes Poptart stained shirts and a Cheeto face so we shall see...  Looking forward to more WIW posts and actually challenging myself to wear something other than sweatshirts and yoga pants!

Happy Blogging,

What Caitlin Wore

I decided that I can't ever let Caitlin forget about her budding fashion sense.  In years to come she with either hate me or love me to pieces over these posts.  So I'm going to start a new series here on the blog called What Caitlin Wore, to highlight my little fashionista.  It's good to know someone in my family still has style, or as Caitlin says "Look mom, I got 'fashion'".

Here is what we wore to school today... Keep in mind she will only be there 3 1/2 hours...

She wanted to make sure that I got a picture of her backpack!

Yes, she did pick this out all by herself.

She insisted on this hairstyle as well.  Low ponies, Mom!!
