The sun is finally shining but we're still bundled up over here. It seems like it's been the longest and most real winter we've ever had. Our winter clothes are getting a lot of use! I wore this faux fur BB Dakota coat all weekend... even around the house. It's been a favorite for months, but I'm looking forward to swapping it out for something a lot lighter... soon. We cannot wait for warm weather!

A little more pink to close out the love week. I've mentioned it before, but Forever 21 is really my favorite place to buy non-maternity maternity clothes. Especially stretchy dresses like this one. They're really affordable (this one is $15) so no worries if you don't want to wear them after baby and I always go up a size to make sure they'll fit.
Over the weekend I was feeling so blah and uninspired with the current rotation of things that fit me. I decided to shop my closet, if you will, and put together this look with pieces that are all a couple of years old. Sometimes I think I have these pregnancy wardrobe delusions where I put something on thinking it will still fit the way it did a few months/weeks/days ago and then get frustrated when that's not the case. So I went back to some old faithfuls that worked my first pregnancy and was happy and comfortable all day.

Once you get to a certain point, a really hard part of pregnancy is getting dressed. I'm not the biggest fan of maternity clothes and try my hardest to wear my pre-pregnancy stuff as much as possible. Of course some things are no longer an option, like my fav high-waisted Levis with tops tucked in. But I did have a few pairs of jeans that were still (somehow) fitting... until recently. After the first of the year nothing was comfortable anymore. Enter the Bellaband. Now I can wear my favorite stretchy jeans un-zipped and un-buttoned and NO ONE has to know.
Happy Monday! We had rain allll weekend and it's supposed to continue into the week. So today I'm sharing a sunnier look from a much warmer and dryer day. I'm convinced this is the $15 dress everyone needs for spring - pregnant or not. It's not maternity and so flattering, either way. When it gets warm I'm always reaching for easy pieces like this that are comfortable and can be worn multiple ways.

It's no secret I love any reason to match with Crosby, but Valentine's Day makes it even more fun! We are loving red right now... specifically our new red dresses. I mentioned I got Crosby this one last week and I picked up this red ribbed mini for me as well. Our weather was so perfect over the weekend we couldn't wait to break them out to celebrate a little early.
