Filed Under: giveaway, Gussy, Maxwell, what I wore

GIVEAWAY WINNERS: congratulations to #1, Helen; #317, Melanie C.; #176, Katie; #139, Melissa H. — check your email ladies! xoxo [This giveaway is now closed.]

On the weekends we love packing up our Jeep with Max stuff and heading somewhere as a family. Last weekend it was especially nice out — when the weather is warm + sunny it’s instant happiness for my soul. I threw on a casual outfit and we headed down to the Promenade to meet up with some Minneapolis friends for brunch. Afterward we window shopped and found some new musicians playing nearby that were especially good, and later we visited with our other friends at their apartment: the guys worked on their bicycles outside + the gals sipped iced tea while chatting about our babes. It was a great weekend indeed!

Here’s what I wore…

I love a comfy v-neck tee. I recently asked for a few recommendations on where to buy them — my go-to stores have been selling really sheer tee’s [no thanks]. Gap was the most popular mention, I’m definitely impressed.

If you know just a little about me me then you know I love wearing color, but a few years ago I realized I wasn’t quite wearing enough. Since then I’ve tried to be more intentional about not only wearing more color but pairing fun/different colors together. My latest mix? Grape + mustard, so fun!

Also… a couple weeks ago these skinnies wouldn’t zip up. Last weekend, cha-ching! What a nice surprise to find that they fit :)

  74. Lisa Martin says

    I can’t decide. I love the scooters medium pouch, but I’m also loving the teal & pink hexies large pouch :) Thanks for the opportunity!

  88. Teressa mackey says

  91. Amanda says

    I am in love with the Orange Houndstooth color combo! Such great colors. If it was a Nook case, I’d so be all over that!

  111. Janel says

    I love your Orange Houndstooth, Mod flower, Mini Scooters, Teal Rain Orange medium zip pouches and Gray raindrops wristlet. You have so many cute things!! :)

  112. Tiffany Ranville says

    Saw your contest on Instagram and had to enter! Love your new clutches! It would be perfect to contain baby items in my purse (no diaper bag for me) for my little girl Elliotte who is due in August! Typically, I’d go with the floral printed and blue combo clutch but for a little girl with the name Elliotte the orange houndstooth and mint blue are way more appropriate for her ;)

  113. Lisa Mac says

    Hi Maggie! I’ve always wanted a bag for my iPad but now I really need the new large zipper bag for makeup. Choices…choices. Blessings to you, Zach, and Maxwell. :)

  117. Alesha says

    I can’t decide whether I like the Summer Daydreams Medium Zip Pouch or the Summer Floral Large Zip Pouch better!!! They are both so beautiful! But I think even better than both of those is the Teal + Pink Hexi’s Large Zip Pouch. It is SO beautiful! But since the giveaway is for a medium zip pouch…here is the link for the Summer Daydreams medium zip pouch!

      @Julie Anne, We’re taking a little break from the iPad and eReader cases, if there’s one you have your heart on snag it now before they sell out. I anticipate we’ll have more later this year. xx

  278. deidra says

    Saw this on Instagram early this morning. So I took a screen shot and shared it there. Then, later today I was like, “Hey! Wait a minute! I’d love a snazzy little zip pouch from Gussy for myself!” So, here I am! :)

  280. Cassidi says

    I absolutely love the wristlets!!! I am expecting my first baby in July and I think they would be perfect to stash a few things in when I don’t want to tote around the entire diaper bag :)

  281. Maureen S says

    Totally in love with the lavender flower large pouch. Thanks for the fun give away. :)

    Love the tote/diaper bag, both books look like they would really interest me and the bicycle fabric is really cute!

    My favorite item of yours is the green cowl. I received one as a gift for Christmas and I always looking for an outfit to wear it with :)

  313. Amanda says

    I love all your products, but especially the large totes and zip pouches:)

    Such pretty flowers in the photos you post, something cheery instead of our MN weather!

  322. Kaitlyn says

    I instagrammed! It’s a private account (@kaitlyn_bouch) but if I win friend request me and you’ll see it. :)

  325. Kaitlyn says

    I would definitely pick the orange and teal. It’s a combination I wouldn’t normally make, but I saw it on your site a few weeks ago and still love it!

  327. jenna says

    I looooooooooove the orange!!! and your blog. I read it everyday with my morning coffee… and my kids climb up on my lap and ask about the baby. “oooooooooooooh mom! a baby! what is the babies name? does the baby like baba’s? can he walk?” and on and on.

  333. Renee Thielman says

    I love the rain confetti medium pouch. It’s so cute and would be great for holding all the little randoms in my purse/diaper bag!

  342. Rose Benson says

    I love your shoes and headband in the pictures above! Where did you get the shoes I want a pair!

    I love your moss headband and posey market tote the best!

  343. Melanie Seguin says

    I love your totes/diaper bags. I’d like to add that overall, I always enjoy the color combination you come up with. Love your line in general.

  347. Jamie says

    I love the camera straps, especially the new one with grey and white spots. My camera strap is itchy and boring. I need a Gussy version when it is available!

  348. Elizabeth says

    My favorite item is the Turquoise Metroid iPad case. I’m getting an ipad for school soon, so that would be perfect for carrying it around in!
