Why Hello There!!

Hello there!  It has been almost 1.5 years since I last blogged. I have been very busy with my hobbies and school. Some things I do are new, for example now I like paper crafts, pottery and  running.  I like drawing more often too.

 

Dress: Sequin Hearts
Boots: Arizona
Hair Clip: Target

I thought I would share this picture with you! My whole family had our picture taken in a friends barn.  In the picture,  I chose the boots because they are cute and they fit the rustic theme.  I like the pattern on the dress because the lace and stripes make a cute combination with these colors.  The hair style is an easy simple do with a sparkly hair clip.

 

 

I promise I will try to blog more often! Check back again soon!    

XOXO,

Maddi

 

 



Shopping at J Crew

Remember that shopping spree? If not click here. I told you that you would be hearing more about it. Here it is. These are a few of the outfits I tried at J Crew.

I like the purse because it glitters and I love everything that glitters!  Purple glittery is even better! I like the hairband and shirt because I like flowers.

Here I like the shirt and the skirt but not together. I would wear the shirt with shorts. Notice it's glittery! But I don't think I would wear the skirt much and would not wear the hat at all.

I like these shorts, kinda, but not the sweater. Because it is Spring and I wouldn't want to wear it very much because it is warm here in the Spring and gets very hot in the summer.




Soon there will be a fun post where you get to guess what I bought. I can't wait to show you. Check back soon!

All the Girls Together for Easter

What I Wore: dress and shoes - Crazy 8,
purse - J Crew, sweater - J Khaki,
bow -  unknown

This is all of us together. It doesn't happen very often anymore. So I love it when it

does. I promised that I would show you what I wore on Easter in an earlier post so here it is. Notice that I am wearing lace and so are my older sisters. It seems lace is very big this year. Sophie just wanted a full princess dress that sparkled.

I did my Saturday manicure a day early this week with my friend Elena. Check back so you can see us in action. Thanks for visiting!

Easter at Granny's



dresses and headbands:  Kaitlynn - Justice,
Taylor - Crazy 8

Hi! My name is Kaitlynn and I'm Maddi's cousin. In this picture we are at our grandmother's house taking pictures of our Easter dresses. As you can see there are not many boys in this family. We are all girls (poor dads)!
I'm the one wearing the blue headband. My sister and I are the ones with the braids. It may seem weird but that's what the girls wear in alot of places like Jamaica.  We just got back from a beach trip where we had our hair braided. We'll have to take them down for school pictures this week but it was fun to try something different.

Check back tomorrow to see what Maddi wore on Easter! Thanks for visiting the blog!

xoxo,

Ready, Set, Shop - at Gap Kids



This is me at Gap Kids on my recent shopping trip. I am  trying on outfits. I liked the shorts and the flip-flops in the one to the right but I didn't like the sweater. 

I don't like the color of the dress in the middle or the shape. I did like the fabric as it was as comfortable as a t-shirt. Overall this dress was a little plain for me.

The last outfit, I didn't like it at all. I didn't think it was me. Mom made me try it on because I've seen things I didn't like on the hanger and once I tried it on I did like it. But not this outfit.

These are a few of the outfits that I tried on at Gap Kids, but not all of what I tried on. You will have to check back as I will continue to post outfits from my shopping trip to see what I found that was just my style.

It's a Shopping Trip!

We're off on another trip! Dad has a business trip this week and Mom and I are going with him.

When he is in meetings - that means shopping for us! Yea! I found some clothes from children's stores on the internet that I liked. I hope that I can find them when we go the the mall.

This outfit is great for traveling (and shopping!) because it's easy, comfortable and is great for all weather. You never know what the weather will be like when you are traveling. Did you notice my jewelry? Remember in my post DIY Leather Bracelet I told you to watch for it in an upcoming outfit? Well, here it is. I love wearing it!

Check back as I will be uploading some pics of my shopping trip later in the week.

What I Wore:

skirt - Arizona
shirt - Arizona
jacket - Cherokee
shoes - K9
leggings - Cherokee
necklace - Justice

What I Wore - To an Egg Hunt

This post was supposed to be what I wore to an Egg Hunt. But it turned out to be more of a "what I got dressed in to wear to an egg hunt that got rained out" kind of outfit.  But I thought that I would show you any way as Easter is still a week away. There's plenty of time left to organize another egg hunt. And another chance to wear the outfit!    



What I Wore: dress - Justice, leggings - unknown,
shoes - Faded Glory, basket - Easter Bunny



                

This is not my Easter dress but I like the colors and think that it looks 'springy' even though I got it last Fall. There are little sequins scattered across the dress and a band of sequins around the bottom layer which gives it the dressy look that I like. Another Egg Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, maybe I can wear it there.

P.S. I got a Superior Rating at my Piano Competition. To see more about what I wore click here. 

What I Wore - To School



Waiting to Leave for School

This is me hanging out. Just waiting to leave for school. Yesterday was a rainy, stormy day so it was a little cooler and so I thought I might need a thicker jacket to wear over my outfit jacket but it ended up being fine without it.

I would wear this outfit anywhere. It's great for school but also nice enough to go out to dinner with my parents. It is one of my favorite combinations. The jacket is what dresses it up. Without the jacket it is just a t-shirt and cropped jeans but the jacket makes it more stylish.  

I like to swing on the playground at recess. So even though I love dresses and skirts, sometimes wearing jeans are a better option for school. I like wearing jeans with a dressier look and these are just about perfect.      

                      
What I Wore:

jeans - Justice
jacket - Total Girl
shirt - Arizona
shoes - Faded Glory
necklace - Crazy 8
bracelets - unknown

Casual but Dressy



Ready for Church



This is an outfit I wear to church but it's also a good school dress when you need to look a little nicer than normal.

My church has two services - Traditional and Contemporary. I wouldn't wear this outfit to the Traditional Service but I did yesterday to the Contemporary where it is more casual and even has a band!

Even though it is a little dressy, you can easily play in it on the playground and it would be a perfect outfit for picture day.

This dress is sleeveless but I wear it now with a blue jean jacket and flats. When it gets warmer, I'll trade the flats for cute sandals.

A spring dress + a jean jacket = one cute outfit!

What I Wore:

jean jacket - Cherokee

dress - Disorderly Kids

shoes - Faded Glory

earrings and ring -  Justice

watch - unknown
