Eleven months! One more month until Wilder is one, I just can’t believe it. His face is basically how I feel about him almost being a toddler. I just want to keep him a baby forever. He’s had a pretty busy month… his top 4 teeth popped through, speed crawls all through the house and pulls himself up on anything and everything.

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.

The quote from Mean Girls, “these sweat pants are all that fit me right now” has never suited my life more. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I dislike being pregnant in the winter. Especially this winter where it’s actually been cold and rained more than I’m used to and I’ve needed to bundle up. I know being pregnant in the summer comes with plenty of it’s own challenges, but I’d gladly trade stuffing my body into sweaters and sweatpants for the wardrobe options of the warmer months right now.

Now that Christmas is less than one week away, it means New Years Eve is right behind. I thought I’d share a fun and festive look for the big night. This sparkly maxi dress gives me some disco ball vibes, which I highlighted even more with my metallic silver leather jacket. But since I’m six months pregnant I dressed it down on the bottom with my trusty vans high-tops. Kind of a mullet of looks – glam on top, casual on the bottom.

Ever since we announced our pregnancy I’ve gotten a lot of questions about if we know the gender. I mentioned in this post, but we did a blood test back in September and actually found out then. I did a poll on IG stories the other day asking what you thought we were having and the results came back an even split. Exactly the same number of votes for a girl and same for a boy. What are the odds?! We plan to spill the beans soon… but first I thought it would be fun to test out some gender predicting old wives tales.

And just like that it’s November. Don’t blink or it will be 2019. Over the weekend I posted an IG story wearing this outfit and got lots of questions about my chunky cardigan. It’s the Free People Sunday Morning cardigan and I purchased during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Sadly, it’s mostly sold out in this light grey color but it’s fully stocked in black here and a few other colors here.

How is it already the last Monday in October?! We are gearing up for Halloween over here by visiting one last pumpkin patch. This was actually the second time Crosby and I went to this one, but we had to bring Jeff back over the weekend. When we left our house it was cloudy and cold (and we dressed for that), but once we got there it was hot and sunny. Between the weather a wild toddler and running on little sleep we didn’t last long. But we did get to do one last lap around the pumpkin patch.

This is a typical everyday outfit for me. Casual basics that are wearable, comfortable and practical. Just swap the shorts for jeans when it gets a little cooler and you have a look I wear year round.

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.

TGIF! Was this week extra long for anyone else! For me it was because Jeff was out of town and I was solo parenting until last night. I did had some help, but I am exhausted. Shout out to all the single parent’s out there, I have a huge respect for you. ALSO today is the first day of public access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I wanted to share this look because our Thule Urban Glide jogging stroller is on sale. I also have a fun giveaway at the bottom of this post – don’t miss it!
