Are you a girl that likes surprises? Generally, I am not. For example, last year, for my 40th birthday, I made my husband promise NOT to throw me a surprise party. I do not like the idea of walking in a door and people yelling at me. No, not for me.
But, I do like the kind of surprises that are ‘unexpected’ and bring fun things with them. You know the kind of surprise when you are just going about your everyday life and something fun happens? Like when a friend sends you a sweet card with Starbucks love inside? Yeah, I like THOSE kind of surprises.
Well, a couple of weeks ago I had one of the good kind of surprises pop up. I was tweeting about this What I Wore Wednesday post, and happened to mention the Loft:
Someone at Loft saw my little bitty tweet and sent me one back asking me if I would like to be a Loft Mommy Blogger for their upcoming Mother’s Day Campaign. It took me about -10 seconds to answer that tweet with a “Yes! I gladly accept.” Since you know about my mad crazy love for all things Loft, this surprise was a Mommy Blogger dream come true!
Last week, I had a chance to go shopping with a Loft provided gift card and this is what I purchased. My husband was sweet enough to get involved by taking these great pictures. I mean really, how could I not let him work his magic? This outdoor photo shoot is a little more glamourous than my self portraits in our bathroom mirror! And between you and me, I think my photos kind of drive him crazy!
What would a Mother’s Day photo shoot be without my kids?
{Yeah, I kinda love the pictures, too!}
What I Wore:
Dress {Yes it is a dress and you can find it here} – Loft
Orange Cardigan - Loft
Earrings – Forever 21
Shoes – Famous Footwear
Linking up with the super lovely lindsey for What I Wore Wednesday!

Disclosure: Loft provided me with a gift card to purchase this outfit and will be featuring my choice along with other participating mommy bloggers on their social media sites this week. You can find them on Facebook by going here.
How COOL is that, Stacey?!?! So happy for you. I think you look like the Loft model too. What a great surprise.

The Loft is L.U.C.K.Y.! Great clothes are window dressing to the soul. And yours is so beautiful the clothes can’t help but look good. Happy for your sweet surprise.
