When Two Become One

Oh my goodness, is it ever cold out! I feel bad even typing that, as we definitely aren't even close to what the Midwest & other places in the US are experiencing! There has been a lack of content on here, mostly due to the weather & outfit post limitations.  I can, however, share what I wore to my glucose test last week, followed by a half day at work, a meeting with our mortgage advisor, & a quick pit-stop at Moose Winooskis with the Mr. before we picked the girls up from daycare. I love an outfit that can take you from one place to another, without looking out of place (i.e. over or under dressed). I guess I just can't quit this sweater & coat combo...I purchased them together & have worn them as if they are one ever since!  Stay warm out there :)

My Birthday Suit

Totally not the birthday suit you had in mind, right?! I got this sweater & these boots (both from amazon & a stellar deal) for my birthday from the girls/Mr. & of course couldn't wait to wear them.  It's the perfect no-fuss outfit for the bump these days.  The boots fit like a dream & I was really impressed at the quality/how well they stayed put once tied tightly.  I should have some exciting news to share publicly tomorrow, fingers crossed everything goes our way today!

Shadows

Throwin' it back to shadowy, sunshine filtered afternoons.  The bump was a bit smaller & the weather was perfect for light winter layers.  This parka is surprisingly warm, almost too warm for when I purchased it.  The color is this smokey, distressed purple...totally not for everyone I realize, but it just worked for me.  I could have went the traditional shade of army green, but this felt like more of a statement piece, deserving of it's own place in the closet...

A Monday Kinda Tuesday

Today's a busy day...I've officially entered the third trimester of my last pregnancy, completed my glucose intolerance testing, & we meet with our advisor to discuss financing on a new home! Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about! We're still experiencing frigid temps up here, so I'm a little more bundled up than what you see below.  This outfit is a lazy one for me, not much imagination went into it & it's built up of newer purchases mixed with a few staples.

20 Below

Ok, BRRR!!!! It is freezing out, definitely the coldest weather we've had this year so far. Not to worry, the bump is nicely tucked away into the screaming seams of these overalls.  These have become retired since I shot these outfit photos, as this sweet baby is measuring much further ahead than anticipated (more on that later).  Loads of layers are just what I need these days to accommodate every temperature scenario, from outdoors to the office.

Photo Friday: The First of 2019!

Happy Friday! It's officially the first installment of Photo Friday for 2019 & I must admit, it may be a bit uneventful.  We've spent more time keeping our home spotless & driving around during home showings than anything else this past month.  We did manage to make time for an excursion to the farmer's market, we watched the Bears make it to the playoffs & lose, & we're just now getting to use presents from Christmas (all stored away for showings).

A brand new cupcake vendor is at St. Jacob's & their cupcakes were AMAZING (Flavourful Fondant)

Went all out for the final Bears game, both of this season + for us at our Bears Bar!

New Year, New You!

I never make any new year's resolutions.  There's something to be said about loving where you are in life, exactly as is.  Not to say there isn't room for improvement, because obviously there is always room to do something better in our lives.  I've entered 2019 with a list of stepping stones...sell house, find new house, wrap up work, have baby, etc.  All these steps/tasks are huge, life-changing events & therefore, I decided not to add any more expectations to my plate.  If we're really pressing the topic, I'd love to just be present, to just take everything in & feel like I fully experienced it, was really in the moment...you know? With that in mind, I took a risk with a new lip shade.  Was it my favorite or best look? Nah, but it was fun to try out!  I'm unsure if I'll feel like testing this hue out again anytime soon, but it was liberating to embrace something new...

Winter Neutrals, Take Two...

More winter neutrals & another outfit centered around these booties.  This vest has been a welcomed addition to the wardrobe, supplying me with just enough warmth & comfort without causing me to overheat.  This bump continues to grow, so much so that this sweet baby boy is measuring approximately 3 weeks ahead of schedule!!! Things have slowed down in the purchasing for myself department & have really picked up steam in the 'all things baby' department... #momlife

Winter Neutrals

It's definitely winter.  This look was completely built around my newest booties, with the intent of only combining neutrals.  Mission accomplished, wouldn't you agree? All of these pieces are old, acquired when I was prego with Zoey to get the bump through winter. I'm so grateful to have sister-in-laws who told me not to invest so much in maternity clothes, but normal pieces I could wear comfortably before, during, & after pregnancy. I'm 26 weeks today & this pregnancy is flying by, much too quickly for my liking.  I'm savoring every stage, even on days I'm exhausted & miserable...

In the Spirit...

In the spirit of recapping 2018, here's a little outfit post I neglected to post when I could still visibly see my toes. Looking at this outfit really has me wanting Spring to come a little sooner than later this year.  We have so many exciting things headed our way in the next few months, starting with me wrapping my head around our oldest turning three in less than a month (wtf?!)! It also helps segue into next week's outfit posts of winter whites, stay tuned...
