What I Wore | Embroidered Blouse

WhatIWore: When you’ve got nine people staying together, getting out of the house on time is nearly impossible - but, BUT!!! We managed to round up everyone for some family photos AND get to dinner by 5 (because… babies). This is what I wore that night. I knew it would be windy and chilly and the only long pants  had with me that weren’t overly casual were these ecru jeans. 

When: March 15, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Blouse: Old Navy
Jeans: J.Crew Factory
Sandals: Clark’s (older style)

Where: Dinner at the Sandbar with the whole crew

I’m not a huge fan of bright white jeans, especially in the winter. Especially during snow storms. But for a tropical climate I think they work year round. This pair is a high rise version from J.Crew factory and it’s not that intense bluish white you see in summer styles (this is called ‘frost wash’). I went up an additional size because I think overly tight white jeans aren’t a great look. Also because I knew I’d be doing my part to eat as many donuts as possible while on vacation (grand tally - 9) Part of me wonders what the hell I was thinking buying them with two messy kids, but I made it home without any stains so I guess that’s a win. 

I love this top - I’ve been wearing it for a couple weeks now. It’s great for easy nursing access and the style and color are a great bridge between getting dressed for winter and spring. It also comes as a dress (it’s from Old Navy)

Baby Bea is wearing a romper (which I like to pronounce ‘womper’) that Nana gave to her (from Old Navy) and a headband that matches her MilkMaid swaddler.

La Vie en Rose | It’s a Girl!

I’m so excited to share some fun news with you! Our growing family is excited to announce we have a baby girl on the way! We are thrilled! This pregnancy has been so different from my first so I had a hunch we’d be adding a daughter to our crew. I even started a baby quilt for her room a few weeks before I knew for sure!

We’ve had a name picked out since before our first was born, so now we just need to narrow down a middle name. Knowing her gender has done a lot for me and pregnancy bonding and it’s so fun to say ‘she’ and to prep Felix for his little sister. Last night in his sleep he reached over to my stomach and said BABY! We’re expecting some adjustments, but also really looking forward to all of the sweet and wonderful little things that come with a new baby.

For those of you who’ve asked, the dress is from ASOS, Adam took the photos this morning at the park, and the bouquet was a collaboration between Adam and I (he went to the florist and picked out a bunch of pretty pink blooms and I arranged them!).
