This time of year is always a little tricky for me to dress for. It's definitely still summer here (it will be warm until at least November), on one hand I'd love to live in swimwear and cutoffs all year, but part of me wants a little bit of fall. I'm starting to shop and incorporate a few fall-ish items into my wardrobe.
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!
on me: jacket c/o, henley, necklace, similar jeans (non-maternity option), shoes
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.
Although I do like to dress up, I'm all about practical style. It just fits in with my life. When shopping I look for pieces I can wear every day while working from home and playing with an active toddler, that still work if I am out and about.
sunglasses, necklace c/o, tank, belt bag (on sale!), jeans, old blazer (similar), shoes
Another weekend that went by way too fast. We didn't have any plans this weekend so it was nice to relax and catch up with stuff at home. Still not feeling ready for Monday! I'm test driving the belt bag trend today and I have to tell you, I already love it. I went with this really affordable black quilted belt bag... and of course, after I purchased it, it went on major sale.
