My Week in Outfits - August 12th

I really felt a burst of motivation this week and I am going to work really hard at picking up posting more regularly on my blog! That being said, I’m holding myself to a daunting goal of posting my real-life, mom friendly, yet still stylish outfits on here EVERY. DAY. If you know me, you are well aware that I don’t have people around me on the regular at my beck and call to take my outfit photos so I will be lugging my tripod out with me every day to get some quality shots of what I’m wearing coffee/toddler stains and all!

Come back to this post every day to help hold me accountable… let’s see how many weeks I can keep this up!

(We’re already starting on a Tuesday, did I fail before I even started?! Haha)

Tuesday 8/13

Lace Cami and Denim Shorts

Leopard Top and Button Fly Jeans

Dropped the ball today and forgot to take an actual outfit photo but everything I wore is linked below this random shot I took when I was testing lighting haha!

Friday 8/16

Dressed up Basics

OUTFIT ABOVE DETAILS:

Top // Jeans // Sweater (old, sorry) // Necklace // Custom Name Ring

Well, that was actually much harder than I thought it would be. I think I figured out the sweet spot/time for lighting in the area I’ve been taking my photos, so next week should be much more consistent!

Hope you enjoyed this first week in outfits!

Save vs. Splurge Spring Bags and Shoes

There are so many fun Spring shoes and bags out already, many of which I already own from previous seasons! As I’ve been shopping these past couple weeks, I’ve realized that a lot of my key Spring pieces that I’ve purchased are also available at other retailers, some priced much lower, and some priced higher. I figured it would be helpful to make a guide of the items I own (some I own the “save” version and some I own the “splurge”). I have to say that most of the affordable options are equal if not BETTER quality than their pricier twins so if you’ve had your on one of these fun pieces but didn’t want to splurge, you can feel better about saving a few bucks on the affordable option and still get to enjoy all of these Spring trends!

SAVE

SPLURGE

I can’t wait to style these pieces and share them with you all summer long! I am particularly excited about my woven slip on mules. They are SO comfy and very versatile, perfect for any occasion.

Happy Friday, friends! Thanks for reading!

Yellow Shoes and an Ice Cream Date

Jeans: EXPRESS, Shoes: SAM EDELMAN, bag (under $50!): GLAMOROUS, Top: similar HERE and HERE,

Today I wasn't feeling the greatest, between being almost 32 weeks pregnant and starting my day off with a bad headache, I spent most of the day laying on the couch registering for the hospital and signing up for pregnancy classes. I also got a nice long nap in before Dustin got home from work. He convinced me to get up and go for a walk and ice cream to see if it made me feel any better. DUH ice cream makes everything better! We walked by the river while we ate our ice cream cones, it was so perfect outside! 

I've been looking all over for the perfect yellow shoes that are compatible with my third trimester baby belly getting in the way of buckling or tying anything onto my feet, and these fit the bill. They aren't only easy to put on, they're super comfortable and reasonably affordable! In case you haven't noticed I've been on a shoe buying spree for the past few months since my feet are one of the only parts of my body that haven't expanded to the point that I don't know what to put on them, so shoes, shoes, and more shoes it is!

I'm wearing one of my favorite t-shirt dresses since it is long enough to cover the fact that my pants don't button or zip up (they aren't maternity, obv). I just scrunched it up to make it look like a shirt! Unfortunately it's no longer available, but I'll link some similar options at similar price points. I am so obsessed with these jeans, I got them to wear after the baby was born but I couldn't wait. They are super comfy and stretchy and under $100! 

Can we just talk about this woven bag?! I linked it in my last post as well, but I just can't get enough of it. I love all the color it adds to the most basic outfit and of course the poms are too cute!

I'm going to start dinner now, and then go to bed early. I hope you all are having a great week, thanks for reading!
