Spring Showers

The perfect outfit for a rainy day.  Also, at this point in my pregnancy with this baby...slides are EVERYTHING! I recently hacked off a couple of inches on these jeans & I love it...I think I might be ready to move on from rolled hems to frayed ones...

Today did not start off the way I imagined...our biggest girl is home sick with Dada, who is trying to get everything he can done around the house & our littlest girl is at her last day of daycare.  We took timbits to celebrate & she is really enjoying being there by herself.  I continue to wind down in my position, like I just sent off what felt like a million goodbye emails & it is just a tad bit sad.

Goodbye To The Way Things Were

Phew, another crazy morning in the books! Switching utilities over between two different cities that are hours apart requires a little more legwork than I previously estimated.  All done & ready to go for this weekend though, so I have at least accomplished something today.  I have been saying some goodbyes to the way things were already more than anticipated, but I'm still left feeling oh so excited for this move.  Most of all, us girls are excited to see the Mr. each & every night!

I discovered this sweater while packing up my closet & was thrilled! It has been tough to find items long enough to cover the bump & it was a happy surprise.  I cannot wait to 'shop' in my own closet again after baby boy makes his appearance & style more rediscovered pieces I too found packing...

It'll Be Alright

Loads of big moments happening today...this baby is 36 weeks baked, it's the final week of work for me, & we sign the final papers for the house this afternoon! No big deal, right? If I'm being 100% honest, I'm freaking out just a little bit!  I found a quote in high school that basically said 'if something excites you a little more than scares you, it's worth doing' & I have sorta used it in every major decision I've made in my adult life.  So, here we go again, using a piece of wisdom that is so simple but also so significant...

Today is just about being comfy, but also looking put together.  I am so sore from just going nonstop all weekend that I feel like I ran a million miles & these boots are the comfiest pair I own, if you can believe it! I loved the idea of a white-washed outfit with a few statement pieces, the faux fur & over-the-knee boots were just what this outfit needed to take it up a notch...

THE Best Part of March

The best part of March for me, is March Madness.  Am I an avid college basketball fan? No & to be honest, I haven't watched a single game up until yesterday.  I love March Madness & the excitement of building my bracket.  The girls & I tossed on as much Iowa gear as we could today (aka Herky clothes as Zo calls it) to cheer on our Hawkeyes today!

But Maybe We Will

Luckily, my head cold has decided it was finally time to move on & I'm feeling so, so much better (aka extra energy to work on some blog posts).  This outfit, combined of a few items I had in storage that I recently sorted through.  I originally purchased this little tiered dress for a country concert a few years back, only to be disappointed when it arrived at it being much too short to wear as anything other than a tunic top.  It never laid right until this big 'ole baby boy bump appeared & voila...instant maternity fav!  I've layered it a few different uber casual ways on weekends, but decided to give it a go on here.

I Need a Change of Scene

Phew, another busy weekend in the books! We're in desperate need for a change of scene & we get one in just two short weeks!!! We've been so busy packing that yesterday, we decided to just take it easy.  The girls napped & this mama got to snuggle up in bed with my 3.5 fav guys (the Mr., both pups, & the bumpcake)....it was amazing & totally what I needed after a crazy productive Saturday.

Again, totally still working with a few things left unpacked wardrobe wise.  I'm having fun finding new ways to wear the same old things, especially with limited items.  I liked the combination of textures for this outfit & it only works with these otk boots (otherwise this dress is way too short with my bump).

You Know When You Know

This poncho has been a favorite of mine for almost four years now.  It's taken me, comfortably, through three pregnancies, 3 fall seasons, & several bonfires when the weather reaches my favorite temperature.  It pairs so well & the print isn't too 'in your face' or noticeable that it can't be worn multiple times within a small time frame.  Everything I've accumulated since then also seems to be within the same color scheme...major points for these cost per wear scenarios that work out in my favor.

All Caught Up

For once, I am all caught up with sharing what's new in our world.  Since I was too lazy to post on Monday, I'm making up for it with an outfit post today.  Be forewarned- you are about to see a whole lot of this cardigan.  I kept it back purposely for like 6 outfit posts I had in mind, which pretty much gets me into the new house & reunited with my full wardrobe.  I got this tunic for my sis-in-law's baby shower just over a year ago & sadly, it's become neglected.  It's a beautiful shade of burgundy & I've already imagined in styled for fall with tights, OTK boots, & an even chunkier cardigan.  A little too dark of a color scheme for spring, but I really liked it...

The March Capsule Collection

My closet is officially all packed up & ready for the move! Although it's still a few weeks away (17 days to be exact), I'm trying to do my part by packing closets, drawers, & cupboards.  We've been doing a form of extreme spring cleaning, purging everything we haven't touched in the 7 years we've been in our current home, my closet being no exception.  Outfits will be pretty limited moving forward, even more so since less & less is fitting the way it's suppose to at this point in pregnancy.  I'm liking this challenge...

Photo Friday: Baby Boy Update

Happy Friday! Is it just me, or did this week fly?! I decided to dedicate today's post to an update on our sweet, growing boy.  The nursery decor & baby supply lists are dwindling, with items being crossed off daily.  My hospital bag is pretty much packed (I have a few last minute items to toss in this weekend), he has a name, & we are pre-registered at both hospitals (just in case).  We've planned a little day trip to visit friends this weekend, since it's the last weekend for suggested travel.  Here's a few sneak peeks into the nursery theme...

Really getting some use out of my letter boards lately (via Target, sleeper via Old Navy).

Baby essentials: swaddle blankets, bedding, & receiving blankets (all from target).

Baby blanket (via etsy) & Baby brother cap + swaddle (Amazon) for the hospital :)

More receiving & swaddles, can't have too many with a newborn! The girls still sleep with their original swaddles :)

Happy Weekend!

Miss New Bootie

New booties I've been dying to wear.  The snow is putting a damper on that, with these being faux-suede and all.  A simple outfit with a pop of red lipstick, just for that added element of surprise.  All these tunics are really starting to show their worth & have been the best option for keeping the bump covered/cozy.  I tossed on the vest for some texture & a pair of statement earrings to complete this casual, everyday outfit for me...
