Our family outing is getting easier and easier each time. We no longer need to pack milk bottles, diapers, wipes, burp cloths, sippy cups, and everything else. Our boys understand a lot of things now and can communicate 90% with us for the most part. They are well behaved at the dinner table (maybe timeouts at public places really helped!?!) and usually eat and sit through the entire meal with us. The best part is that I can wear white more often now than before. For our family dinner, I chose this tuxedo-style pintuck blouse from Boden and paired with my favorite faux leather pants and heels. I finished the look with a statement necklace. If you have not heard of Boden then you should really check them out. They are one of Britain’s best kept secrets, specializing in heritage-inspired style with a colorful, modern twist. They make clothes for the whole family. There are a few pieces like this (I want this in the yellow color!), this, and this that I really love!
When I was contacted for a review, this shirt was not my first choice because I didn’t know how it would fit my petite frame. Since I love mixing masculine and feminine pieces I thought I should take a risk and give this shirt a test spin. I’m really glad that I did. The shirt is made of 100% cotton but the quality is exceptionally great. It feels almost velvety. I love the fact that it’s a bit masculine but very classy and versatile which allows you to adapt it to any outfit. I can’t wait to pair this shirt with my crop sweater and pencil skirt for fall, which will be right on trend!
I’m excited to announce a $25 gift certificate giveaway from Boden! They are also offering a 15% promotional code (W906) off orders over $100 + free Shipping from September 16th through September 30th for Mama in Heels readers!

Thank you Jenny. Don’t forget to come back for more giveaways!
What a great shirt, Janise… I like the formal reference of this casual shir and your leather pants together. Nice on your petite little figure. The necklace finishes it perfectly.
I have to speak for the rest of the restaurant industry … thank you for raising children who know how to behave while dining out. No one expects miracles, but so many folks dine out to get away from their kids. You’ve done a great thing, not just for your boys, but for lots of other people! Yeayyy, you guys!
Thank you Jan. It’s amazing how when you lower an octave and mean business the kids listen to you!
Love your outfit Janise.I bought a pair of leather leggings and i can’t wait to wear them. Great outfit.

Forever 21 🙂
Thanks for hosting the giveaway and i love tops like that. I remember reaching that point with my kids too….it’s such a nice feeling to leave all of the extra stuff behind when going out to dinner. You forget just how hard it was.
Thank you for stopping by Sherry!
You look gorgeous! Love the pairing, simple yet polished!
