These pictures were taken in October, but I was saving all of my “backpack” outfits until I revealed Piece TWO of the Five Piece French Wardrobe!  I have plenty.  Seriously, I wear this backpack NON-STOP!

I called this SOS Off Duty because I seem to wear a lot of black when I’m hanging with Little M.  It’s easy to match, and I have a BAZILLION black pieces in case he happens to get food, snot, anything-you-can-imagine on me.  He’s really busy since he can walk, and I am bobbing and weaving to avoid catastrophes on my clothing!

The Style Rx:  Black is BACK when you don’t have time to match!  Vary textures to keep it fresh!

I do wear long necklaces and some earrings with my little one, but those delicate ones are in danger of being broken by a quick pull.  I wear them when I’m feeling brave i.e. he seems to be calm!  BTW, the bottoms that I’m wearing are skorts – genius when you have a little one!
