My daughter turned two this past weekend!  Her middle name is Minnie and her great aunt sent along these Minnie ears.  She did not want to wear them but I couldn't resist!  (I went to Disney World when I was about 8 and the only thing I remember about that trip was meeting Minnie.  At the end of this year we're taking our kids to Disney World and I cannot wait for my daughter to meet Minnie Mouse!)  I normally don't wear jeans when I have company over for a special occasion, but I felt these Marc by Marc Jacobs polka dot jeans suited the occasion.  My daughter was taking a nap so I drove my sister home and she took these pictures for me.  It was a lot of fun!  I mean, how could you not have fun wearing Minnie ears?

Just a quick post of the outfit I posted on Instagram today.  I love wearing denim on denim.  It's a simple outfit to put together.  The rule used to be that one piece should be darker (or lighter) than the other, but I think anything just about goes now.

I pretty much love anything Marc Jacobs creates, hence why I call my blog what I do... but when I need a pair of jeans I usually look to 7 For All Mankind or, a more recent favourite, GAP.  But I bought these jeans because they had polka dots on them (I can't resist anything with polka dots) and I must say they are the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned.  So not only do they look awesome - polka dots, distressed - but I want to live in them.  Add my new Marc by Marc Jacobs graffiti sweatshirt and I have the coziest weekend outfit, pulled together with my new favourite chambray shirt from Madewell.  Perfect to go shopping in, then to the park with the kiddies.

We were going Easter egg hunting and since I've been so obsessed with pastels lately, I thought about those yummy pastel chocolate eggs for inspiration when getting dressed.  It helped that I already had these polka dot Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans on hand.  Earlier I wrote about my obsession with the polka dot denim jacket here, but when I came across these jeans I had to have them because: a) I have an obsession with polka dots and b) it wasn't quite jean jacket weather.  (Far from it, actually.)  I'm so happy I bought them because they are SO comfortable.  That's not to say I won't end up with the jacket either.  Like I said, I have an obsession with polka dots!

Happy Easter! -M
