I had so much fun twinning with Christian recently that I couldn’t resist doing it again. This time our outfits came from two different stores (and were purchased almost two years apart). I got this dress two summers ago from Old Navy. And when I ran across this adorable gingham romper on Carter’s website, I just knew it was a match made in heaven.

This Little Red Dress from H&M Makes Me Feel Like One Hot Tamale!

There’s just nothing like a little red dress to make a gal feel GOOD! I love that this one is so light and breezy, which makes it perfect to wear during these dog days of summer. New York City has been hot, sticky (and a little bit gross) these past few weeks – so I’ve been relying on simple (but still chic) outfits like this to get me through without looking like a (literal) hot mess. I wore this outfit recently for brunch and a bit of window-shopping in midtown. Since I didn’t want to fuss with accessories, I went with a no-brainer monochromatic look. This outfit was definitely a show-stopper while still being relatively simple, and I’m in love with how it turned out.

ABOUT THE FIT:
This dress is true-to-size and doesn’t have much structure, so you could possibly even size down if you like. I’ve had a few dresses like this before that hit above the knee, but I’m digging the midi-length here for a more casual. This dress also comes with a self-tie belt which I removed for maximum volume. I think adding a wide belt and high heels could help this look easily transition to evening.

Old Navy Officially Has the Cutest Mommy and Me Matching Outfits

Truth be told, once I found out I was having a boy, my dreams of adorable mommy and me matching outfits pretty much went out the window… until recently. Color me ecstatic when I was casually perusing the Old Navy website (as one does at 2 o’clock in the morning), and I ran across this matching set. I immediately added this safari print dress and matching romper to my cart, checked out, and finally caught some shut-eye. I was so excited when our outfits finally arrived a few days later. Christian and I wore our matching ensembles for a music playdate and Italian ices in front of the fountain at Lincoln Center – and of course, we just had to do an impromptu photoshoot.
