Lost Files

I was cleaning up the folders on my desktop and found a few outfit photos that for whatever reason didn't get posted. It's funny, I look in the mirror and think I look pretty normal and wonder how...

Chain Gang Vintage Swap: Cobalt Blazer

Hey guys! It's vintage swap time again. Tanya from November Grey and Jennifer from Belle de Couture came up with the idea to send a vintage item to different bloggers and see how each styled it. We...

Real Clothes

3 weeks postpartum and da-yum it feels good to be out of maternity clothing. I had to order some new pants because I'm about 20 pounds away from wearing my regular jeans, but I don't care as long...

Developments

With no sign of baby making an appearance anytime soon, last Friday my husband took me to my 41-week appointment and then to lunch. I woke up that night at with strong contractions, but they were...

Point Taken

I'm going to try to be careful not to get too repetitive here. So let's get the usuals out of the way - still pregnant, very little clothing fits, shirt + pants + boots, blah, blah, blah. Anyhoo. I...

Almost There (Cross Your Fingers)

I don't think I've ever included such a close up of my face EVER. On any form of internet. And especially not when I'm pregnant, exhausted, and my eyelid starts to get droopy. I was trying to show...

Giving Up

I've been being forced to get really creative with what I'm wearing the rare times I leave the house. I have 2 maternity tops and 1 dress that haven't given up on covering the belly. So the formula...

Outfitted

You'd think all this not walking or exercising would give me lots of time for blogging. It does. However, I've gone mostly into lurk mode. I might be the whiniest pregnant woman that ever...

New Years

The girls were with their grandparents for New Years Eve which meant Andrew and I had a day-long date. Here's what the phone (and mirror) says I wore: Lunch Date vintage jacket and purse eBay scarf...

Almost There

I can't believe I'm one of those people taking "selfies" with my phone in front of the mirror. Heh. Taking my outfit photo almost daily for the last 2 years has formed a habit that is hard to...

Flashback Friday VIII

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Instagramming

My husband dragged me kicking and screaming into the modern cell phone era and I have to admit I shouldn't have been so resistant. I know I'm like years late to the party but I'm on Instagram!...

The Poncho

I swear I'm still 8+ months pregnant in these photos. This poncho just magically makes it look like I'm not!

Everyday Everywear

My criteria for taking outfit photos right now is asking myself, "Am I dressed?" If the answer is yes, I wait for a break in the rain and go for it. Forever 21 top Free People velvet skinnies Urban...

Flashback Friday VII

Every year I wish for the opportunity to arise where I can turn to someone and urgently whisper, "We need a little Christmas right this very minute." Unfortunately the right time has never...

Sheer Thing

So maybe a sheer skirt (with leggings underneath!) isn't the classiest thing an 8-months pregnant mommy in the suburbs could wear. But the insomnia and joint pain has made me sassy indeed and I DO...

Madewell Private Party

For any local readers, Madewell is having a private shopping party/DIY night where you provide the garment (either bring it in or purchase it there) and they'll have the supplies on hand for you to...

Better Bigger

I didn't think I liked this Old Navy dress but I guess I just needed a few months to let the belly fill it out more. It's a relief to have at least one piece of maternity clothing that actually...

Flashback Friday VI

Lumberjane

I've said this before but I can be very surprised by the outfits that my husband likes enough to remark on. Sure, this compliment included a crack about lumberjacks, but still. vintage hat,...

Girly

I love the holiday season. Family, food, friends, celebrations and only mild side-eye when you wear your 4-year-old's giant glittery bow. Bow borrowed from Arlie (much to her confusion) thrifted...

Flashback Friday V

Outfit #1 - Work Look - August 2011 Outfit #2 - Crazy McGee - November 2011 Outfit #3 - Guess What I'm Looking At - January 2012 Look #2 reminds me to go dig out that weird little crochet tube. I...

Red Accent

Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! random hat ASOS maternity tee and leggings thrifted jacket Coach purse

Experimental

These jeans are an experiment, along with the velvet Free People skinnies. I ordered them in the next size up and I'm hoping they take me through pregnancy and beyond. I'm one of the 5%* of women...

Flashback Friday IV

I am definitely wearing all these outfits again (someday). Except the jeans. R.I.P. awesome jeans. Outfit #1 - I'm A Rebel - July 2011 Outfit #2- Taking Notes - November 2011 Outfit #3 - New...

Grunge Lite

I got so sick of wearing this striped tank dress during our lingering summer weather that I was sure I wouldn't ever want to see it again. But as I haven't been keeping up with laundry I had no...

Early Cold

Still loving my $1.29 sweater. Still not able to bother with eye makeup. thrifted sweater Madewell necklace ASOS maternity leggings Steve Madden boots (33% off at Nordstroms! You can see they're a...

Flashback Friday III

Seriously. I can't believe I ever complained about my stomach. EVER. I can only hope it goes back to that! Outfit #1: Overall, I Like It - January 2011 Outfit #2: The Blues - May 2012 Outfit #3:...

A Bit Of Color

I had to give in and buy more maternity clothing since I'm actually outgrowing stuff. That never happened with babies #1 or 2 so you can understand that I'm a little scared of what things are going...

Front Yard. Back Yard.

Random stuff: -Obviously the true star of these photos is our yard. I think every house has it's best season, and ours is definitely fall. -Oh, and to explain photo #1 I'm giving the belly a bear...
