How We Wore It: Bright Colors.

Spring is here and it's time for Bright Colors.  This months How We Wore It look comes from Brenna at Chic Street Style.

How playful is this bright pop of color jacket? Paired with the pink top, heels and jeans it's the perfect go-to Spring look. 
I loved her dressy jacket and knew exactly what I was gonna grab from my closet for this months How We Wore It style.

Here's my take on it: The dressy jacket was my favorite part of this look and I was so excited for an excuse to wear this gorgeous jacket I've had stuffed back in my closet since 2007 (that's not a joke friends) Why I don't wear it more often, I have no idea, however Spring is in the air, the blossoms are popping and this jacket is ready to be worn.  I am obsessed with the 3/4 length sleeve that keeps the jacket light and ideal for warmer weather (If you saw last months post you know 3/4 length sleeves are my life #momarms) My blouse was an easy choice for this look. The fun pattern of red on the blue background gives the shirt a hint of purple coloring. Great for casual or dressing up! My shoes are another great item that has been sitting back in my closet for YEARS and it was fun to bring them out.  The neutral snake skin heel is great for any look. I also love the height on these heels which keeps the outfit classy.

 Outfit Details: 

Jacket/Forever 21 - Blouse/Target (Massimo) - Jeans/Old Navy Rockstars

Another HUGE shoutout to my little photographer for helping mom out in a crunch. Maybe it's time to start him his own photography Instagram account ;) 

DIY Trendy T-Shirts with Cricut.

I am thrilled to be partnering with Cricut for a Trendy T-shirt collaboration. I had so much fun designing and creating these t-shirts for me and my littles. This post does contain affiliate links and Iron-on material provided by Cricut, however, as always, all opinions are my own.

As a mom it's so easy to get in the routine of things and the routine around our home kinda goes like this. Kids play.  Mom cleans. All day, everyday!  Sure I sneak in a few fun crafts, afternoons to the library, preschool learning and recipes to bake but lets be honest, all those things are fun... FUN things that have to be cleaned up. And I totally LOVE it.  With two toddlers playing all the time they are happy, healthy, learning and growing.  From the living room, to the preschool table, to the kitchen, out to the front yard, upstairs to our rooms, to the dinning room table and finally back to the living room all day for playing.  All the while kids playing, mom cleaning. (OK, sometimes I play to)  Any other moms have that kind of a day on repeat?  It's wonderful isn't it? 

I designed these t-shirts as a set because I wanted an outward expression of what goes on inside our crazy home and probably most of yours also. I think I nailed it. 

All our shirts were made in Cricut Design Space in just a few quick minutes during nap time.

I am continually impressed with Cricut Design Space and its user friend interface and set up. Design, Align and Go!  Three simple steps and you have yourself an awesome Trendy T-Shirt.

For these designs I used Cricuts Iron-on Lite in Pink for mine and Hayden's shirts and Charcoal for Hunter. The font is Southwest and words are left aligned.  Don't forget to screen reverse your design when using iron-on material for a t-shirt. 
With a handful of extra iron-on material I let each kid chose a fun new image to put on a t-shirt.

Hunter chose the space man and I added the famous words "One Giant Leap for Mankind" I used Cricuts Iron-on Lite in Charcoal and the font Seaside.

Hayden, of course, picked out the unicorn image. She's had this thing about unicorns since her Auntie Kenna sent her the most adorable unicorn leggings and walks around calling all horses unicorns.

It's pretty adorable right?  I used Cricuts Iron-on Pink Sparkle and Green Glitter with the font Haley in Cricut Design Space. 
I was in desperate need of a new gym shirt so I created this fun gold print graphic tank for myself.

Channeling my inner Kourtney Kardashian, I used my favorite phrase "Gorgeous Darling!" and found it perfectly suitable for gym motivation. I used Cricuts Iron-on Gold Glitter and font Chloe in Design Space. 
I hope this post inspires you to create you own Trendy T-Shirt with Cricut.  Be sure to check out Cricut's Pinterst page for lots of great inspiration.  You can also pick up your own Cricut Explore Air machine or Iron-on rolls at Cricut.com

Thanks so much Cricut for sending us Iron-on's to play with some new trendy images and fonts.
