OOTD: Coral & Dots (and Maia too!)

Yesterday we started week 2 of classes. Besides enjoying being back in the classroom teaching my wonderful students, I also really love putting together outfits for class! ;-) It's fun to have a reason to dress up. For yesterday's outfit I pulled out this old skirt that I love because I can wear so many different colors with it. It's also a great summer-to-fall transition piece because the colors work for both seasons but the material is light-weight enough for the warm weather that we've been having. I paired it with this coral cardigan that I got on sale earlier this summer.

While I'm at school Maia gets to spend time with her daddy and they are developing their own little routine. It's funny how he's found things to entertain her and keep her happy that are different than the things I do with her. She loves to have some "tummy time" on the couch next to him while he works on the laptop (but doesn't really like to do this with me for some reason). He found a radio station on the TV that she loves listening to -- her favorite music used to be what we called "Lawrence Welk" songs but lately she's been into this "Groove" station that he found. heehee :-)

Here she is snoozing next to her brother Jeffy:



Showing off her cute little bum! We both happened to be wearing coral and dots that day. :-)



Mommy & Maia:

Book Club: The Help

I just finished The Help over the weekend for the book club that Carol at In Pursuit of Pretty Things is organizing. Has anyone else read it? I thought it was really good and I'm looking forward to discussing it with the other book club members. If you've read the book or plan to soon, go over and check out Carol's post and plan to join us for the discussion!

Back to School OOTD: Color-Blocked

It's been a busy few days here! My sister came for a visit over the weekend to see Maia and she really enjoyed getting to spend some time with her. Then Maia turned one month old on Monday! I can't believe she's already that old. The time is flying by.

Yesterday was my first day back at school teaching twice a week for a few hours. Luckily my husband gets to work from home on those two days so he was able to take care of Maia while I was gone. He said she did great! I missed her a lot though.

Here's my first day of school outfit:



Color-Blocked Sweater Skirt (Anthropologie)
White Blouse (Ann Taylor)
Necklace (Anthropologie)
Wedges (Target)

And a couple of cute Maia pictures ;-)

Happily gazing at her Aunt Gina:



Snoozing:

Anthro + Baby

Check out Molly's recent blog post about Anthro-lovers rocking the baby bump: HERE. I sent her a couple of pictures of my favorite Anthro outfits that I wore while I was pregnant and she included them along with some other very stylish ladies. I love seeing how others styled their bumps and remained fashionable! ;-)

Maia: Pretty in Pink

Sporting her new headband & polkadot socks! :-)

Mommy & Maia: First Anthro Shopping Trip

Can you believe Maia is already 3.5 weeks old?! This weekend my mom and I took her on her first shopping trip (we had to buy some presents for her daddy's birthday) and of course we had to make a stop at Anthropologie.



She was getting a little sleeping and yawning in this picture but she enjoyed the bright colors and music in the store and the sales people loved seeing the littlest Anthro fan. :-)



My mom got me the Colorblocked Sweater Skirt to wear on my first day back at school next week.



Did anyone else do any shopping this past weekend? It was a tax-free weekend in Florida so we got a little break on our purchases! :-)
