well, today feels like summer.  for one, it’s hot!  hudson and i did some errand running and wandering around outside this morning, topped off by him dumping his smoothie all over himself and his carseat right before we went in to get chloe from school.  this led to him going pantless and me getting some odd stares from adults and kids alike.  lucky for them, he and i have no shame.  its all documented in my instagram stories (@carabrooner and @chasingshinyobjects) if you want to check it out.  it’s is always an adventure with kids, am i right!?!  sheesh.

i will freely admit that this bomber was a complete impulse purchase a while back.  it fit into the color palette i had been working with and i loved the floral details, so i thought i’d bring it home on ‘probation’ and see how many things i could make it work with.  i quickly realized it works with a lot, and somehow, this blush color can kind of go with anything, so you could even consider it somewhat of a neutral.  my favorite way to style it is what you’ll see here – denim and stripes – but i’ve also worn it with a dress and even my favorite black leggings to feel a little more put-together while running around in my athleisure.
