Dress – Old Navy; Blouse – American Apparel; Hat – Target; Shoes – Red Valentino; Jewelry – Premier Designs Jewelry (and there’s a giveaway for these pieces on my other blog today!)
To brainstorm out loud if you will, and figure out ways to restyle tired pieces and make them look new (this dress is 4 years old after all), to realize what looks good on you (like hats perhaps), and what looks wrong on you (like maybe just too much stuff). It’s like one big Mensa think tank, only we are trying to figure out ways to incorporate neon into our wardrobe, not solve math equations. Works for me! Happy Wednesday friends, and thanks for allowing me the rambly post. I’m obviously tired and must go to bed!
Some days I wonder why we style bloggers do what we do. I mean, if pressed, I can of course tell you why I post outfit pics on a weekly basis. But sometimes when I just think about it at a glance, I realize how silly it must seem to those that don’t blog and get it. And to continue to post outfit pictures while pregnant seems even stranger at times. It’s not like in my condition I can try much that’s ground breaking; my outfits are pretty standard after all.
But then I stop and realize that while this outfit may not be ground breaking, the addition of a sheer blouse over it as a layering piece, instead of a cardigan, is something new for me, and in turn may give someone else an idea they may have never thought of, give them another option to get more use out of a blouse in their closet. Or topping off my look with a hat reminds me that I feel good in hats and I should wear them more often.
I’m not really sure where I’m going with this and I realize that I may be rambling a bit, but I guess my point is that I don’t post these outfit pics just to fetch compliments and “oh you look so cute!” comments (although let me tell you compliments are amazing while pregnant). I post outfit pictures to give myself ideas, to give you ideas, whether you like it or not I guess

You look adorbs! I love that maxi on you and the sheer shirt makes it the perfect look! I need to try that.
You look SUPER cute (and I am not just saying that to make you feel good!). I am really liking the navy and teal combo. The mix of colors looks good on you!
PS…new make up?? I know you have been trying new things. Whatever it is it looks pretty!
Thanks! The only thing I did differently was I blended my two shades of shadow a bit and applied as one. Other than that, pretty much all the same products I normally wear…just more
Yoi are quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously. I hope I’m half as fashionable as you are during pregnancy!
Oh thanks so much Lori! I’m sure you will be
Love your striped maxi paired with the turquoise. Great color choices!! You look wonderful!
I love the layering. Stripes while pregnant and you pulled it off so perfectly! Have a great week. Visiting from WIWW.
What a gorgeous maxi. You look amazing.
Creamy
you look amazing!

Lovin’ the maxi dress and the sheer top. I’ve been searching for the perfect maxi for the summer
When I finally get one, I’ll have to try it with a top like this!
Beautiful! I love the way you dress your bump- I stuck to mostly basics throughout my pregnancy, but now I wish I had been a little more daring!

With my first two I was pretty basic as well, but since this is my last, I wanted to try and be a bit more fun with my outfit choices. Thanks so much
As someone who’s tipped out of my twenties, and has children, but still wants to be stylish, I find your posts really helpful. So many fashion blogs and magazines are aimed at young things who are so fashion forwards I could never try it, but you’re a stylish mom who shows me accessible fashion that *I* could really wear day to day, whether I’m with my kids or not and I really appreciate that.
All the best from London (and totally loving your hat).
You are one smokin hot mama. You look amazing!
Yes your eye makeup is what caught my eye in this pic – new technique?
You look like you’re glowing in these pics, and I’m not trying to play up on the pregnancy cliche. I love the illuminator and/or concealer you used around your eyes — you must dish on the details! XO
Just discovered your site and I love it. Great postings. I’m a huge DIY gal and love a nice fashion post.
Great site! Love the DIY and fashion postings.
My family always say that I am killing my time here
at web, but I know I am getting familiarity all the time by
reading thes good articles.
I do agree with all of the concepts you’ve offered to your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners. May you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
