What I Wore | Country Wedding

WhatIWore: My cousin Annie got married this weekend and it was so lovely! We had such a wonderful time celebrating her and Will and being with so much of our family. I was in such a happy mood this morning driving home after brunch. It’s so invigorating to be around good people. I love my extended family! I wish I saw everyone more!

Here’s what I ended up wearing for the big day. I was tipped off by an instagram friend to this dress and it was… drum roll… under $50. As you can see it’s plenty long on my 5′9″ frame (plus 2″ sandals) and the wrap front made nursing Bea super easy.  For reference I bought a medium. There are a lot of pretty prints available, but I love how this navy floral looks in person! I actually got the taupe short sleeve version too, which was a little shorter and I didn’t have a slip so the navy won out. You can see more photos from the day on my Instagram!

What I Wore | Palazzo Pants

WhatIWore: Good Morning! Coming ‘atcha with an internet connection and a new batch of outfit photos. For the past week I’ve been spacing showers a littttle too far and wearing the same tired jean shorts every day. Moving house with two small kids is quite the challenge. A week or so later and I’ve starting to feel more settled! I am so in love with life out here, but me time has been non existent. So yesterday morning, I got showered and hit up Target right when they opened to do a little shopping for myself, then came home, changed and had Adam do outfit photos for me! 

Unlike my unsuccessful journey to the Fashion Mall in Indy, I really did well finding things yesterday! These palazzo pants and sleeveless jacket are two of them! One of the things I’m coming to terms with is that I just like what I like - so even if that means I buy another black and white print or olive jacket - so be it. If one shouldered ruffles aren’t your thing, there’s no need to push the issue, #amirite? 

When: May 23, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Sleeveless Jacket: Target (Mossimo)
Pants: Target (Mossimo) - now on clearance online! 
Sandals: Rockport (gift from previous partnership)

Where: Errands all over town

These pants really surprised me - for a high rise elastic waistband they are really flattering. Bonus points because they’re incredibly comfortable too. And long! I wore them with flats but I could shimmy them down an inch or two at the waist and do with a short heeled sandal too. I paid full price in store, but I saw they’re on clearance online, so run run run to get yours! 

As for the jacket, it’s a great option for nursing mamas who’d like a light layer for modesty and something more than just wearing the same basic tee shirts day after day. 

What I Wore | Blue Moon

WhatIWore: This. Dress. Is. The. Best! I don’t think I’ve felt more beautiful in anything in a long time! My initial draw to it was the V cut on the back of the dress (I was looking for pieces to show off my bee). When I tried it on, I thought it might be a little more darling (and a little less daring) if I added a lace knit cami underneath which unfortunately covered up the back too. No matter, it’s still a beaut! I just love the cut and the fabric and the skirt and the color and… everything! Wouldn’t this make for a beautiful bridesmaid dress she could actually wear later?

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in Crazy Tort
Dress: ModCloth
Cami: Target
Shoes: Marshall’s (old)

A quick note on the color of the dress. While it reads a deep cobalt in these photos, to the naked eye it’s much more navy! 

What I Wore | Stripes and Floral

WhatIWore: Of all the pretty pattern mixing a gal (or guy!) can do these days, stripes and floral are probably my favorite. A two colored stripe can work with so many different kinds of prints, but I’m a sucker for flowers. I like the way this combo came together, although I think I need to alter the skirt to fit a little better. How do you rock pattern mixing most?
