Technically, I haven't worn these outfits yet (outside of this little photo shoot, anyway). I'm trying to put together a spring/summer wardrobe and take advantage of amazing prices before we get back to the US.
These outfits are devoid of jewelery because I'm still working on getting some pieces to refresh my collection. For the last couple of years, I've worn only earrings, but I miss necklaces and bracelets. Any jewelry suggestions are welcome.

Mom-on-the-go #1 - my first attempt at leggings!
http://i557.photobucket.com/al.....G_2616.jpg
I'm really interested to hear about this one. I love the idea of leggings, because I love skirts, especially in hotter weather. However, my children are young, and I get on the floor, sit in strange positions, etc. and I feel like I can't maintain modesty in a skirt most days because of that. This is an outfit I'd love to wear on an "active" day with my kids, but I'm not sure if it works. I love that the dress has pockets. If I can pull this off, I plan to get at least one more dress I can wear this way, and mix it up with different camis and flats. It's so comfortable!

Should I get these jeans hemmed slightly to wear with flats? Or are they ok as is? I haven't done a belt over cardi in a long time. I used do it with thinner belts, but now that my chest is..ahem..more substantial, I think I need a thicker belt like this one. How does it look?

I love jeans but I get bored with them and thought I'd try microchecks. This would be for super casual days running around with the kids. I'd wear them with cons (which I don't have in hand yet). Is it too young of a look since it's just a V-neck tee?

Until I can afford a white button down from a place that sells by bra size, I think this one will work. What do you think? Although white is one of my favorite colors, I rarely wear it because I often feel it makes me look bigger. Maybe it's the stripey pattern that makes me feel comfortable in it. It's nice and light weight too.

This is a date/church/meeting/out with friends look. Again, I usually avoid white because I feel like it says HEY LOOK OVER HERE, but since I love white (especially every time I see it on someone with dark skin), I thought it was time to push myself outside of my box.

Ok I definitely need some opinions on this one. The blue v-neck has cap sleeves and I am not a big fan of those on me, so I added the shrug. I love these 3 colors together. But is there too much color blocking? How does the shrug look?
Summer bags:

I use the zebra bag as a diaper bag - times when we'll be away from home for a few hours and need "supplies." I can't stand traditional diaper bags and will never use one. I'll use the white and yellow bags depending on the outfits. Any tips on keeping white bags clean?
I really appreciate any feedback. Don't hold back! I'll be posting a lot (if that's ok!) over the next 3-4 weeks while I put together a wardrobe before we head back to the US, and I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks!
