Spring wish list

When we were little, my mom used to wear beautiful, baggy shirts like this one. (See exhibits A and B:) She would roll up the sleeves, wear her hair down, and look so relaxed and chic. When I saw this striped shirt, it reminded me of her, and I'd love to have it as a new mom.
And this elephant pillow is so cute, for kids or grown-ups, don't you think? The print is by the fabulous Elisabeth Dunker, from Sweden. xoxo

I adore that easy, breezy look. The top is fantastic!

i never should have looked at the elephant stuff - now i think my new little nephew needs one of everything! (and, of course, there are a few things I need too!) too cute!

I have been buying baggy tops and wearing my husbands shirt (mush to his dismay), I love the overall look of a loose fitting garment, especially on a summer day! The elephant print is adorable, maybe I can get a scarf with a print like that. :)

amy said...

Gorgeous striped top! Almost like an interpretation of gondolier stripes, which are one of my obsessions right now.

A.Kelley said...

What a stylin momma you had! I'd like that shirt, new mom or not. It's awesome and so French. And my favorite color is blue, so both these items get a double thumbs up.

Melissa Blake said...

I'm actually wearing one of those comfy shirts today!! xoxo

This is such a sweet post. You are going to be a wonderfully chic mama.

I'm into that relaxed tee look too! I just recently bought a vintage striped tee that is kind of like that and I'm looking forward to testing it out this weekend. :)

Happy Friday!

Glad Im not the only one looking for "new mom" clothes. I thought I was a little crazy! :) I love the shirt!

hip hip gin gin said...

I love billowy, breezy shirts like that all spring summer long! So much easier to stay cool that way, and they look so effortlessly stylish. Such a cute little tribute to your mom.

The French said...

loose tops are my favorite, they just give that feminine sexy chic look.

I love that shirt as well. It reminds me of my Mom too, who was so chic in the 80's :) Bless her heart and rest her soul xoxo

Stephanie said...

I love this - and it would look adorable on you. It is so sweet you are thinking back to your own mom's signature look.

Sweet Jo, you are going to be an AMAZING mother!

Jovana M. said...

I have a cable knit top like that sans stripes. I love this style... so feminine and flowy.

Oblio and Arrow said...

I know exactly what you mean! I have this great photo of my mom, me and my sister at an overlook on skyline drive in the 80s. She used to wear cotton shirts-the button up type, with the sleeves rolled up that always looked comfortable and relaxed, yet a little polished! I find myself craving them as I reach the age she was in the photo! Makes me think of him and good times.

Brooklyn Kitchen said...

That pillow is so cute! I want one too--but for me :) Also, for some reason baggy shirts are so beachy to me.

emozioni said...

i love stripes and elephants..., and the color blue!!!!!!!!!!!!

kissesss

amm said...

I like the shirt too, but it seems a little pricey for something that's just going to get covered with baby spit-up and breast milk...

trabajo maestro said...

A lovely striped top like this one, boufriend jeans and ballerinas, and I'd be set to go to the farmers' market. It's great.

chelsea said...

I love that top.

Sarah said...

Ohh, lots of nice things on Penelope's site. The madras voile dress is perfect for spring!

amber said...

I'm with you on the relaxed-fit striped shirt. I'm a bit obsessed with stripes too.

Jess said...

I love anything that is comfortable and chic at the same time. It looks effortless, but put-together! Great find.

I *just* bought a shirt like the one pictured at Nordstrom last week. I lived in it all weekend and already can't wait to wear it again. It's simple and relaxed, with a timeless air to it. LOVE!
