What I Wore | Copy Cat

WhatIWore: I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the choir when I tell you guys I’m all about repeating outfits. I hate the idea of never wearing something you love twice (or three or four or twenty times). Please call me the Repeat Queen. Or just a copy cat. Whatever! 

We’ve photographed this top 3 other times (see links below), but I actually end up wearing it more often than that. It’s my go to ‘cool girl’ blouse and I’m definitely going to wear it postpartum too! 

I think I’ve done 100% better getting dressed during this pregnancy than my last. I’ll chalk it up to experience and having an easier time physically for the past 7 months (in hindsight, I was in so much pain for the duration of my pregnancy with Felix and I just thought it was par for the course). I hope to put together some of what I’ve learned in a post between now and my due date (or after… who knows?!)

And… HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you! 

What I Wore | New England Vibes

WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore yesterday to my OB appointment. Last time I told you that I tried to wear roughly the same thing each time, but this morning I was just too chilly and just wanted to layer up. See also: we took these photos after the appointment in the parking lot, so I didn’t realize my boot was zipped weird. Oh well - you get the picture, right?

When: October 27, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Scarf: Vintage
Sweater: Motherhood Maternity
Blazer: J.Crew
Jeans: Jeans: AG ‘Stilt’, (regular sizes here)
Boots: UGG Australia

Where: Doctor’s Appointment, Coffee Shop

See also: Another way I’ve styled this blazer here (and an inspiration board here)

Honestly all that’s on my mind right now is what I discussed with my doctor (nothing bad… just a change in plans) so I’m going to leave the writing short today. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and a Happy Halloween! Let’s see if Felix will even entertain the idea of putting on the costume I spent 10 hours on (rookie mom mistake???)

What I Wore | Comfy Cozy

WhatIWore: Good morning all! Hope you had a nice weekend. I’m throwing things back to last Thursday for today’s post. Here’s what I wore for a quick visit to a branding and marketing class at IU that a friend of mine teaches. I love being on campus and with students! This particular course was in the newly renovated Kirkwood Hall, which is home to the new School of Art + Design. I’ve been hearing about these plans for over a year and it’s really amazing to see everything come together so quickly! 

When: October 13, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Sweater: ModCloth (last year)
Maternity Dress: JCPenney
Tights: We Love Colors
Bag: J.Crew
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: On campus visit

I’m all about this type of cozy yet pulled together type of outfit - it’s perfect for a crisp and gray morning. Everything is knit, so it’s got the comfort factor, but it’s not yoga pants, ya know? It’s kind of hard to put into words, but do you ever have those days when the thought of wearing pants feels far too constricting? Even when I’m not pregnant I feel like that some days! PANTS. That’s how I felt the morning I wore this. Also worth mentioning - the dress is navy and gray stripes and I’m wearing it with black tights and boots. I felt the combination of the dress with the bluish toned gray sweater was enough to balance out the tights that don’t necessarily match. I also think this dress will be cute with an olive jacket and booties for a little more of a casual setting! 

What I Wore | Black & White

WhatIWore: I still have a few hold outs from my non maternity wardrobe that are still wearable, but as this belly gets bigger by the day, I’m having to pack things up or set them aside. I’m glad I got to wear this top one last time. it’s not quite a tunic, but the longer length worked well enough over full panel pants. Here’s how I styled it last fall at my normal size for a comparison. 

When: September 6, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Blouse: ModCloth (similar in solid here)
Jeans: Jessica Simpson (similar regular sizes here)
Tote Bag: J.Crew
Booties: Rag and Bone

Where: Coffee Shop and Errands

My jeans are new (maternity) as is my handbag! I knew I’d let myself get a new one this fall (No size fluctuation to worry about!) and because I have black and brown covered, decided this pretty burgundy shade would be a good choice. It’s also nice and roomy so I plan on using it for toting around baby stuff in January. We do have a diaper bag, but I hardly ever use it. I just toss a diaper and some wipes in my purse and we’re covered! I know a smaller baby will need a few more things, but our outings are generally short and we live in such a small town that we’re always 10 minutes from home should we have the need to get here fast! 

SALE ALERT Today is the last day for 25% off designer denim at Destination Maternity. I’ve purchased four pair there and my favorites are the AG stilt which is over $50 off!
