Well, I don’t know about you, but isn’t it FABULOUS when you find comfy clothes that are fashionable? I mean….give it all to me! I love to look put together even when I don’t feel put together. When you are having a no goo, very bad horrible day at home when trying to get ready and roll out the door. Like, all of it went wrong. But then, you find an outfit, or some fantastic shoes, or some jewelry that just makes you smile on the outside. Now THAT’S what I’m talking about! 🙂

And that’s what I want to share with you today! As you know, huge fan of Chadwick’s of Boston over here. The variety is stellar and the prices are pretty great, especially when things go on sale. Wowzers! I have a couple new things I wanted to share with you that I received, and….so does Erin! Yes, that means it’s time for another collab with Erin from Home with the Boys!its all in the details, casual spring looks inspiration

This week’s installation, in my collaboration with my friend Erin over at Home with the Boys, features Chadwick’s of Boston! As you may already know, Erin is a fellow fashion lover, but she is a mom to three boys and, as you know, I’m a mom to four girls! We thought it would be fun to show you how we view style from two different perspectives – a girl mom and a boy mom. Be sure to check out her fabulous post today, sharing something different perspectives on her items from Chadwick’s of Boston!

You will see that we both received the Knit Tank Maxi Dress. I knew that I wanted to get a black maxi dress for the warmer months, and when I saw the one from Chadwick’s, I knew I wanted to check it out. It’s got a modest, flattering cut, it has fun pockets for added detail along with two modest slits up the side of the dress. Both of these make it fun to wear, without getting too sexy. I mean, I’m a Mom, I skip the sexy at this point, but the slits ARE great for a little ventilation in the warm months!

dress from chadwicks // sashay slip ons from bzees // denim jacket + bag from kohl’s // necklace from conversation pieces (old)

Right now I’m wearing it with a denim jacket, because denim jackets just make everything better. Ha! That being said, you can’t see the straps of the maxi dress because they are covered, so I wanted to make sure you knew they were thick enough where you can wear a normal bra and you won’t see the straps. YAY! No strapless bra needed with this great maxi dress!

The other item I received was the Pouch Pocket Tunic. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving leggings and longer tops. You won’t find me in leggings with a short top…because, NO. And neither should you be caught in one of these. Leggings are to be worn with your rump covered. There’s your ‘PSA’ for the day 🙂Chadwick's Spring 2016 #BMGMStyle
The top is lightweight and super soft. Plus, it has the little detailing of the front pocket, which I love because I feel it takes away from any ‘pooch’ that you might be hiding 🙂 The fit is flattering and the fabric is perfect for the cooler, spring days and nights. It’s super soft too!

  2. Actually, I love that knit tank maxi dress and I’d get it in black too. Otherwise, my other pick would be the crinkle cotton maxi skirt although I kind of wish it was in another color besides bright yellow. 🙂

    1. Yellow is tough too, but so fun for summer! Such great options at Chadwick’s!

  3. Short Sleeve Faux Wrap Cotton Dress is what I would get for work. I do love the outfits you reviewed, great combos.

  6. I would get the Eyelet Crochet Skimmer by Skechers or the Batik Print Blouse.

  7. I would get the Open Weave Speckled Cardigan! So cute!!
    Love the skirt your sportin.

  8. I would probably chose this Floral Print Faux Wrap Dress
    Item 42728. It is gorgeous!

  12. As swimming suit season is coming upon us, I would choose the Printed Halter Skirtini by Inches Off since my last suit has fallen apart.

  14. I love the maxi dress you had on! And if I won, I’d love to start by getting their Princess Seam Swim Dress!

  15. I would buy the Botanical Print Asymmetrical Hem Knit Tunic. Our of the picks you shared, I like the lightweight top.

  17. I like the tunic you reviewed! I would buy the Floral 100% Cotton Peasant Dress.

  18. So many great choices, but I think I would pick the Floral Drape Neck Dress for an upcoming wedding

  19. I love the maxi. I really love maxi dresses. I would use the GC toward a basic black short dress.

  20. I would choose the Versatile Jean Jacket in Indigo Denim to wear with a dress exactly like yours! I love that outfit!

  23. Call me boring but I would go with the Classic Bootcut Jeans. I have been losing weight and it is almost time to replace my clothes!

  24. I love the Crochet Bodice Peasant Maxi Dress! I think the maxi and slip ons you picked out are great too. They look so comfy and stylish!

  25. Oh I really love that Knit Tank Maxi Dress!! Love what you put with it! Would be a toss up between that dress and their Ainsley Bermuda Shorts!

  26. I love the 3/4 Sleeve Lace Trim Tunic, as well as the Pouch Pocket Tunic you picked!

  28. I would get the Batik Print blouse – it’s so pretty! I love the tank maxi dress – perfect for hot summers in the south.

  29. Love the Pouch Pocket Tunic you’re sporting! That’s my ideal sort of top for mom-life 🙂

  30. I thought the outfits you showed were very cute. If I won, I might get several pairs of their Perforated Ballet Flats for our daughter!

  33. If I had $50 to spend at Chadwicks today I would put it towards their Drawstring Linen Shorts and the Embroidered Hem Knit Top.

  34. I like the Border Print Dress from Chadwicks. I fully agree with long tops and leggings too! I cannot stand tops that are too short and show my rump in leggings. haha!

  35. I would start with the Pull-on Cargo Shorts with a white t-shirt or tank top. I love the looks you chose! I really love loose, long skirts for summer comfort.

  36. I would buy the Indigo Striped & Floral Print Infinity Scarf and Quilted Slip-On Sneaker by Skechers.

    I love your sashay slip ons. They are so cute and look comfortable too.

  37. I would get the Floral Peasant Blouse! I love the Pouch Pocket Tunic that you shared with us! Just too cute!

  39. I would use the gift card to get a few of the 3/4 Sleeve Boatneck Tee. I love that neck line and they are hard to find in stores. I love the dress above, it is perfect for year-round wear!

  40. I would get the Floral Print Sleeveless Pocket Dress.
    And I like your picks: all classic, staple pieces that could be worn for years.

    1. Yes, I agree. That’s one thing I jus love about Chadwick’s too. Great, classic pieces!

  41. I love the clothes you picked, but I’m having a really, really hard time picking just one dress I’d like to get my wife…

    1. Yes, the struggle is REAL!! 🙂 I shared a nice floral one before on the blog too. You will have to check that out 🙂

  42. I’ve got my eye on The Boyfriend Cardigan at Chadwick’s, especially the pretty Tropical Peach color. Your picks are great, too, especially that tunic; I could see wearing that all the time!

  43. I like the pretty pin tuck tunic and I like the maxi dress you picked. Comfy and pretty

  44. I’d get the Crochet Bodice Peasant Maxi Dress. I love the knit maxi you are wearing too!

  47. I really like the Blue Floral Maxi Sundress and I am in love with those striped shoes

    1. Thank you! I will have a full write up on those soon! 🙂 But….they are AMAZE!!! :0

  50. If I had the chance, I’d get the Corkscrew Ruffled Hem Dress and the Halter Ruffle Swimsuit!

  54. I love what you shared. If I had $50 right now, I would purchase the Blue Floral Maxi Sundress.

  56. The Maxi Dress looks really cute, especially paired with the jean jacket. I’m a dress person, so it’s a tie between the Hand-Beaded Paisley Print Dress by Bila and Floral 100% Cotton Peasant Dress that I liked on their site.

  58. I’d love to get the Long Sleeve Stretch Poplin Shirt. I also really like the Pouch Pocket Tunic that you reviewed – it looks so comfortable!

  59. I might purchase the Botanical Print Asymmetrical Hem Knit Tunic or some of their nice shoes. I do like the outfits in the photos. They look terrific and super quality.

  60. I need a new dress for a wedding in May, so I would choose the Chiffon Scarf Print Dress

  61. Love a good, basic maxi dress! And I like that this one isn’t super long. Being short, it’s nice to have a dress that doesn’t drag on the ground 😉

    1. That’s awesome! I was thinking the length was a little short on me so that is a great point!

    1. I got caught by the shoes…But I do love the maxi as well….and the tunic. Both outfits look very comfy!
