Finally, Some Outfit Pictures!

Don't get too excited, these outfits aren't anything special or super stylish! At least I remembered to actually take some pictures though. ;-) Getting dressed has become a bit more challenging lately due to the big baby bump and the hot temps outside. On Wednesday I vowed not to wear one of my usual jersey dresses and instead grabbed this denim skirt. This is definitely a must-have piece for any maternity wardrobe. I feel much more pulled together in this skirt. I love the color of this green cardigan so I paired it with the skirt and a simple tank in a different shade of green. I was also proud of myself for wearing real shoes instead of flip flops! ;-) Love these Target wedges!



Big belly!



Here's one of my lazy jersey dress outfits from last week. At least I tried to be a little creative with the colors and layering the light blue tank underneath.



Even without the style challenges of being late in my pregnancy, I find it hard to be very creative and stylish when it's so hot. I'd love to hear what others are doing to get out of a style rut when the temperatures are rising!

OOTD: Pink Polka Dots

Old Navy has really been my go-to store for cute stuff to add to my wardrobe as my baby bump has been expanding. I've gotten a few actual maternity items, but there are tons of things in the regular section that have been working out well for me too. This pretty coral-pink polka dot shirt that I wore on Saturday is one of my favorite recent purchases. I find that most of Old Navy's clothes run big so I just grabbed a medium instead of a small for this top and it fits well over my stomach with some more room to grow. I like the way it looks with the shorter cardigan.

The bump is getting big!


I hope everyone is getting a great start to their week! This past weekend just flew by for us. We went to a baseball game on Saturday and tried out a new restaurant for brunch on Sunday. Time to get back to work today, I guess! ;-)

OOTD x 3: Trying New Things

It's getting warm here in Florida so I've been wearing some new clothing items lately, trying to beat the heat. :-)

First up is a new dress I got from Old Navy (from the regular clothing section) and I really love the purple color (which they call "Orchid Sizzle" online). I had originally planned to wear a beige or cream cardigan but my yellow cardigan caught my eye when I opened the closet and I thought I'd try a new color combo. I like how it turned out! I felt very Springy and the colors reminded me a bit of an Easter egg. ;-)

Dress: Old Navy
Cardigan: Bealls
Tank: Belk
Sandals & Sunglasses: Target

In these next two outfits I went a little outside my usual style comfort zone with the shirts. Since I'm short I usually tend to avoid long shirts but being pregnant has allowed me to explore some different styles. I really like this floral shirt from the regular section of Old Navy. I just went up a size to have room for the bump and I think I'll still be able to wear it post-pregnancy as a layering piece (probably belted).

Floral Top: Old Navy
Cardigan: Target
Shorts: Motherhood Maternity
Flip Flops: LOFT

This next shirt isn't something that I would have bought myself (it was a gift from Mom) but I like the plaid and the colors. It felt a little tent-like but it was nice and cool for a walk around the park and there was plenty of room for a belly full of pizza after lunch. ;-) I'm wearing my grey shorts again which I love but I'm wondering if this top might be cuter with denim capris.

Shorts: Motherhood Maternity

I hope everyone is having a good start to their week! It's overcast here but I've been pretty productive so far today despite the gloom outside.

Variations on a Theme (OOTD Catch-up, Part 1)

I've been wearing a lot of stretchy jersey dresses lately to stay comfortable as my belly expands. :-) These two dresses that my mom got me from the regular section at Bealls have gotten a lot of wear. They have an empire waist so they work great for me. I've paired them with different light-weight cardigans, stretchy belts, and sandals, and even tried layering a blouse underneath.

Today I got this purple dress from Old Navy, so I'll have yet another comfy dress to add to the rotation. I might have to pick it up in black too. ;-)

Anniversary Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated our anniversary by going out for Thai. Yum! Also, being the book nerds that we are, we went to the big library book sale not once, but twice! On Friday we got a bunch of books to start the baby's collection and then we went back on Sunday and got a ton of books for ourselves. :-)

Baby bump:



Here was my casual outfit on Saturday. I don't wear shorts often but I got these cute maternity shorts last week and they're actually really comfortable and don't look too bad. I think these will get lots of wear this summer!

OOTD: Baby Bump!

Showing off the growing bump today! ;-) I just got my new maternity jeans back from being hemmed so I'm wearing them for the first time today. They sure are comfortable, especially after having a big lunch at our favorite BBQ place this afternoon!
