Friday Fave: Fresh Produce Clothing Helps Me Break Out of Black at Type A Parent Conference (w. giveaway)

June 17, 2011 By Leticia

A couple of weeks ago I was in wardrobe distress after realizing that most of my conference clothes were all the same— some version of a black dress.  Soon after, Fresh Produce reached out to me having recognized my fashion emergency and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with their offer to help me break away from black and brighten me up as my clothing sponsor for next week’s Type A Parent Conference!

As my conference sponsor, I’ll be clad in Fresh Produce throughout the conference!  For 5 days I’ll be sporting looks that need to go from day to night while being professional enough for my panel (Collaboration That Pays, Thursday 2-2:45 pm) and fun for patio parties and dinners out yet comfortable enough for a Just Dance 2 battle. 

The popsicle colored hues are a huge departure from my classic conference wardrobe but I’m ready for the change and excited about what I’ll be wearing!  Take a look at the colorful dresses that will be part of my conference looks!

Pintuck Tank Dress in Thistle ($59)
Rio Malibu Maxie Dress in South Beach Blue ($89)
Santa Barbara Cardigan in Tropical Punch ($62)
Wrap Me Up Dress in Tropical Punch ($89)
Cafe Wrap Dress in Sunrise ($69)
Bali Shine-On Shirt Dress ($54) and 
Basic Leggings in Oyster ($29)
I can’t wait to wear be colorful in dresses of light lilac purple, deep blue, bright pink, and sunny orange!  The Bali Shine-On Shirt Dress and leggings are the only outfit not in a bright color but will make for a perfect travel outfit on Sunday when I’m ready to head home after days of networking and learning and evenings with dinners and parties.
GIVEAWAY: My mother taught me that those who care share and I’m thrilled be giving away a Pintuck Dress in your choice of color courtesy of Fresh Produce!

    I love the convertible skirt/dress so much (I’m buying no matter whether I win or not): http://freshproduceclothes.com/dresses/travel-dress-cover-up-skirt.html My first thought was to order in black but in solidarity with your branching out I’m going for white! I’ll wear it on a date night with my husband or a family BBQ this summer. (The strapless style will make nursing the baby easy and it looks like it will accommodate me whether I’m still packing the baby weight or gradually lose a few lbs this summer).

    My favorite outfit from their 2011 collection is the Monterey shirt (white)-(http://freshproduceclothes.com/monterey-shirt.html) with the What-it-seams skirt (also in white)-(http://freshproduceclothes.com/what-it-seams-swing-skirt.html). I like how they paired it with the orange cami in the pic for their 2011 collection.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came wit When we bought our house 24 years ago, it came with many things we didn’t love like rotted porch boards, 1 bathroom, and peeling paint (inside and out!) but it also came with things we did love like old, mature trees, crazy shaped boxwood bushes, and these spectacular peonies! 🌸 Every year when they bloom I’m so glad that these beauties conveyed with the purchase of our house and I’m glad we rebuilt our porch so we can step out our front door to admire them in their glory! 🩷#peonies #peonyseason #garden #blooms #spring
As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
