Baby-free shopping weekend and cute kid shoes

It's not easy finding a great pair of jeans with a toddler wrapped around your leg. Since I've become a stay-at-home mama, I haven't had an opportunity to go shopping...well, for myself anyway. Monkey's Auntie M came for a visit, and we escaped to the mall two days in a row sans baby (thanks, hubby!).

MISSION: comfy casual for summer and no-fuss glam for a bachelorette party. Plus, a side trip for tiny shoes at the end of this post. You know moms can't shop without picking up a few things for their bambinos!


Journeys

Puma Voltaic II
I've wanted a black and pink tennie for years!
They fit like a second skin.





American Eagle - maybe I'm a bit too old to be shopping here, but the quality is decent, the prices are good, and the fits are fabulous!

Open Heart Graphic T

Tanks and Tees are currently $10!!
I'm really diggin' this dark grey.





Cabana V-neck T

Fabulous antique blue, a touch of shimmer,
and a graphic that transports me to the beach.





Boyfit Denim Burmudas

Perfectly destructed, mama-appropriate length and under $40!
These will be my go-to jean shorts this summer.




Express

Sleeveless Belted Dress in Bali blue (above)

This one's going out next weekend!
Think I'll pair it with...

Sequin-Pocket Cropped Cardigan in black

Almost all their cardis are 40% off!

gray Flat-Pleat Mini

If you're 5'3" this is a mid-thigh length.

With soft cotton layers, it's so easy to wear and can be dressed up with a sequined tank and heels or down with a fitted tee and flats.

Gap

Pocket Boyfriend T in heathered brown

Think slub, not slob. Great for grocery store days.

Speaking of, you can get 25% off sale items at babyGap! (in-store)

And how cute are these for your munchkin?!
