How We Wore It - Holiday Plaid

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 

Which means its the most wonderful time of year for FASHION! 

This months How We Wore It inspiration comes from the darling Shanna.

Shanna narrates her adorable life and fashion pieces over at Because Shanna Said So and since this lady is a mama to two and rumor has it she's a "two Diet Dr. Pepper a day" kinda lady, I basically think we should be best friends! 

Shanna looks awesome in this look.  I loved the bundled/layer look with the scarf and sweater!  The red plaid scarf gives it the perfect holiday winter look and those booties are ON POINT.

Here's my take on it:  I have a dozen scarves in my closet, including a plaid red one that would have been perfect for this post, however, i'll be honest, I am NOT A SCARF wearer. (As you could probably tell from my last HWWI post)  I could never figure out how to style a scarf to look good and my neck always itches!  So, this month I decided to be inspired by Shanna's scarf colors and style my own look.  I knew I wanted to incorporate the plaid since it is one of my favorite looks for winter. I chose to layer a red plaid shirt over a simple casual dress and the look turned out awesome. It's definitely a more casual style than Shanna's and I kinda of loved how it looked a little punk rock, which is totally not me!  I thought this beautiful necklace added to the layered theme and I kept the casual feel with a pair of black slip ons.

What do you think of this months look? Be sure to check out some of my favorite ladies for their take on this look also.

family photos || fall 2015

why are family pictures the most stressful thing ever?!  of course, i was running around the night before and the morning of trying to wrap up an outfit for myself.  luckily I found the children's outfits a month prior to photo day. i found Kev the perfect button up at Gap for a steal and everyone matched beautifully.  we lucked out with the most beautiful day for early November in Utah. we shot on location at the American Fork Amphitheater as the sun was setting and it made for the most stunning lighting.  hunter was a total rock star. this kid flashed his pearly whites, put his hands in his pocket like a cool dude and absolutely charmed the camera.  10 points for Hunter boy.

miss hayden elizabeth wasn't having any of it.  what an inconvenience for a 22 month old to be bothered with family photos. 

so much cuteness.  i.just.cant.handle.it.

and then there were these shots with mom and dad.

and some serious LOVE for these Mr & Mrs photos.

i guess the struggle was all worth it for some incredible family photos.

and a few silly bloopers.

Merry Christmas 

from our family to yours!

William was so great with the kids. We were super impressed with his skills to distract and keep the kids focused for the hour shoot.

Thanks William!
