We did it! We moved Crosby into her new bedroom over the weekend… so far, so good… or about as good as can be expected while she’s teething and going through a sleep regression. No one is getting a full night’s rest around here these days. Now that we have less than seven weeks until baby boy is due, it’s crunch time to get the nursery ready. I wore this outfit on Sunday when we officially made the room switch, snapped a mirror selfie and got so many questions about where my overalls and other pieces were from, I knew I had to shoot it for a blog post.

Lots of questions regarding if these were maternity overalls. They are! I got them from Pink Blush about a month ago, but they’ve since sold out in most sizes. Sad! They seem to re-stock pretty often, so definitely keep an eye out if you’re interested. Size note, I’m wearing a small and they fit perfectly. I did find a few similar maternity pairs here and here and non-maternity here and here.

I also want to mention that Shopbop is having one of their amazing sales where the more you spend, the more you save. I’ve had my eye on these these slides for awhile now. I think they’re so cute for spring and summer. I always use these sales to shop my favorite brands – Free People, BB Dakota, Levi’s, Agolde, Peixoto, PilyQ.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the cutest little besties. Crosby gets more obsessed with Mackie every day so it was only fitting to do a little love day shoot with the two of them. I remember last Valentine’s Day so clearly and can’t believe it’s already been a year. Crosby was only 11 months old and we went shopping and mailed out her Bday invitations. This year we made Valentines and are going out to breakfast for heart shaped bagels. So crazy that next year I’ll have another little Valentine.

(See my post from last year with the same balloons here)

Jeff and I typically don’t go overboard on Valentine’s Day. This year we’re actually celebrating tomorrow with a special 4D ultrasound and dinner. We tried the 4D’s with Crosby but I had anterior placenta so it was really hard to get a good shot. Fingers crossed we get one this time!

I got Crosby this dress before the holidays and she actually wore it one of the times she visited Santa. It’s out of stock now but I thought it was perfect for Valentine’s Day too!

I found a few other dresses I love with a similar vibe:

One of our favorite brands for clothes for Crosby is Masala Baby. This dress is so cute for spring/summer. Love the tassels.

This dress is so sweet and a great neutral. Thinking about getting it for family pictures next weekend.

This one is another sweet dress that’s the prettiest shade of blush.

This velvet dress has a similar vibe and it’s currently on sale.

Love anything that comes in a two-pack… how perfect are these dresses?

The prettiest party dress and such a great price!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about baby shower dress inspiration and thought it would make for a fun blog post. Early on in my pregnancy I decided I wasn’t having a shower this time around. I was pregnant with Crosby exactly two years ago and was blessed with two beautiful showers for her. We have a lot we can reuse on baby boy and I’m often sent new products to try out. There’s really no need for another shower.

I will admit, as I got further along in this pregnancy I realized the shower is for more than just the stuff. When you don’t have one it makes your pregnancy almost feel anti-climatic and a little sad that there’s no celebration. But that’s probably the pregnancy hormones talking.

Let’s talk baby shower dresses! 

First of all, don’t feel like you have to wear a maternity dress for your shower. For my first baby shower I actually ended up finding my dress at Forever 21 (see the blog post here). There are so many cute options that are non-maternity and still work with a growing bump.

I love this dress (also comes in black) for a shower. It looks super comfy and would be so flattering with a baby bump.

Another favorite from Free People is this dress (comes in ivory too). The square neckline is a fun touch, but the dress itself is so flattering. I love a tighter dress with a slit with a baby bump. I’m thinking about ordering it for maternity photos in a few weeks.

I think wrap dresses can be really flattering for pregnancy. This one is really pretty and would work great with a bump.

I took a deep dive down the Forever 21 site to find the best bump-friendly dresses. First we have this one that I actually wore in our family photos last fall. I went with a small and there was still plenty of room for a bump and think it will actually fit better now. I also love this one with the crochet top. This flounce maxi, this baby blue one, this sweet one with the floral print and this leopard print slip dress. My tip for purchasing from F21 or really any non-maternity dresses is to go up at least one size. When in doubt order 2 different sizes just in case.

As far as maternity dresses go, my favorite place to shop for them is Asos. I got my blush baby shower dress there two years ago (see post here). Lots of the maternity dresses are just maternity versions of regular dresses on their site and the others are usually cute too. This one is so pretty. Another one I love is this one. It’s actually really similar to the dress I wore.

Pink Blush is another maternity go-to of mine. Their dresses are cute and flattering for pregnancy. Love this one (it comes in green and blue too) and think it would be perfect for a shower. This off-the-shoulder dress is another option I love.

Hope you had a great weekend – thank you for reading and following!

Spring is right around the corner, well hopefully sooner than later. I’m already thinking ahead to breezy pieces and light layers. One of my favorite things to carry from season to season is a cardigan. I wear them all year round – everywhere from over my pj’s at home to over my clothes in the office. They are the best transitional piece and I love adding them to my closet.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now we’re officially in the holiday crunch – I can’t wait to decorate my house! Before that starts I wanted to share some of my favorite Black Friday sales in case you’re like me and would rather shop in your PJ’s than fight the crazy crowds.
