Sparkle + *NEW* #LetItShine Monday Link-Up
ON ME: Colby Top: Lilly Pulitzer | Red Skinny Jeans: Kensie / Stitch Fix (similar) | Gold Glitter Loafers: Target (similar) | Watch: Michael Kors
ON LILLY: Dress: Target | Bow: GroopDealz | Gold Glitter Mary Janes: TOMS
I have always loved things that have a sparkle to them. Glitter, shimmer, sequins, you name it. I love it. I remember in college, I used to wear glitter makeup ALL. THE. TIME. Don’t judge too much, glitter eyeshadow was totally all the rage in 2003.
Yes, I totally quasi-matched Lilly for church on Sunday and knew that we had to take pictures. This is actually her Christmas dress and it still fits her! Huzzah! Gold is a color you can wear year round (in my humble opinion) and sure, our outfits COULD look Christmas-y if you really wanted them to, but I think they’re fun for any time of year.
Plus, if anyone fusses at us, I was just going to say we are celebrating Christmas in July. AMIRIGHT?
I tried this Lilly Pulitzer top on in the store when it came out back in January or something like that and I fell in LOVE with it. It’s one of those tops that is “okay” on the hanger, but once you put it on, it’s just gorgeous on. Well, I didn’t want to drop $168 for it at the time, even as pretty as it was.
I was out running errands a few weeks ago and stopped by the Belk at Crabtree Mall in Raleigh and they have a Lilly Pulitzer section there. Well, I saw the shirt, it was the only one left, it was in my size… AND it was 50% off. It was meant to be. I am so glad I got it! It was another instance of patience paying off. It is a shirt I KNOW I’m going to wear A LOT.
Side note: She loves it when her daddy swings her around…
Like Mommy like Daughter…
Mommy and daughter gold glitter shoes. Yep. That’s how we roll.
She loves playing at the fountain at church.
Welcome to Let it Shine!
Welcome to the new, revamped Funday Monday link up! After two years, we decided to rename our link-up to something we felt was a better fit.
Welcome to Let it Shine! Why the name? Because, we want this link up to be just that: your chance to let it shine! We will be sharing our favorites each week here, AND on social media!
The biggest change? Monthly Inspirations! Each month we will share some fun post ideas, one for each week. Do you HAVE to follow the inspirations to link up? Absolutely not – as usual, you can link-up anything that you want to. Anything that makes you SHINE. BUT, if you’d like to be considered for a feature, those “favorites” will be picked from the inspirations only.
Another place we will be showcasing our favs? The Let It Shine Pinterest Board! We will also be posting ideas for the weekly themes, so be sure you’re following!
Linking up to Let it Shine? Don’t forget to link back to our blogs or share our button, thanks y’all!
Now, go on and link up!
Okay, those pants are everything! Love them! And ya’lls white & gold outfits are adorable! Love it! And I definitely didn’t think Christmas until you mentioned it, so I think you’re fine! Throw in some green and yeah maybe but on its own I think it looks elegant and fun. 🙂
Oh my goodness…these pictures of the two of you are just so sweet. I love the matching too! This is my first time linking up with you–I’m glad I found your blog! Also, I really love that scripture from 1 Peter you have at the bottom of your post. I feel like I needed to be reminded of that today, so thanks!
I love when you and Lilly match!
OK. I love EVERYTHING about this post! Sparkle sparkle and more sparkle! Your outfits are so cute, and that shirt is a MUST! Dying. So pretty. And the new link up – totally doing it! Love it and love you! 🙂

I love the new name for the link up, Molly, though the irony is I’m wearing camouflage – designed to help you blend into the background. =oops=
Your red jeans and that top (that top!!) are sooo gorgeous – and I love the expression on Lilly’s face in that first picture of her. What a cutie 🙂
Thank you for hosting – hope you have a wonderful week! Catherine x
Such a pretty top! You and your daughter are so cute in your sparkly shoes!
