New Mom Shopping

Now that I'm not super duper pregnant... I want to go shopping! haha Of course, there are still limitations. Items have to be breastfeeding friendly! Also, I'm not about to go buy pants/shorts that may be too big in a few months. So, mostly, I'm eyeballing blousy tops and shirt dresses at the moment!  I also need to find a nursing cami that I really like (or do this) because tossing one of those on under just about any shirt (one you can pull up) definitely simplifies things. Some drawstring pants would be nice too because I'm finding that my over the belly maternity pants are too loose but I don't fit into all of my regular pants yet.

1. H&M shirt dress  2. Forever 21 crochet dress  3. Old Navy soft pants  4. Old Navy drapey denim pants  5. Old Navy embroidered blouse  6. Forever 21 crochet paneled skirt  7. Marc Jacobs dress  8. Victoria's Secret cover up  9. Gap fit n flare shirtdress

Outfit: Chevron

How cute is this cardigan?! And it's from Target! I mean, not that Target doesn't have great style but I think this looks more like a cute boutique find.  I tend to steer away from dolmain sleeves because I'm top heavy but y'know, sometimes you just have to go with it. The fabric is very lightweight so the oversized fit is more flattering. 

 

DSW booties, Target cardigan

Canucks!

It kind of sucks to be back in 75f weather, honestly. haha I was really enjoying the 55f weather in Canada! Still, I was excited to wear my new Canucks (Vancouver, BC hockey team if you ware like "wtf is she talking about?") shirt when I got home so I threw on this easy outfit. It's such a soft, stretchy material which I definitely prefer over the typical thick cotton ones. It's actually a mans shirt, although I definitely think it looks more feminine.

Zooshoo boots

Typical Me

Here's a closer look at what I wore...Thursday? I don't even remember. A pretty typical outfit for me. 

 Yellow and pink eyeshadow!

Drink Local

I wore this on Wednesday out for Thai food and to Iron Fist Brewing Co. I've been a beer girl for a long time and the hoppier the better! And I love to shop local so I've really been enjoying the fact that there are SO many breweries around here. We went to a bunch more Thursday night and tonight I'm going to another haha 

I got my hair cut again on Tuesday, shorter than ever! It grows so fast though that I figure I may as well go pretty short, that way I can ride it out longer until I feel like it has to be cut.

Target shoes, skirt (20% off clearance today! So less than $16 each)

Old Navy earrings

A Bit Boring

This is a very basic outfit that I wore yesterday. Part of me thought it was too "boring" to photograph but really, we all wear basic outfits now and then yeah? So I feel like including them in the blog now and then just makes it more realistic. Plus, what's boring to one person may not be to another. I realize not everyone considers wedge sneakers to be a basic item haha

 Target sweater. Victoria's Secret jeans (different wash).

Floral Peplum

A simple outfit from last week. I'm really into sneakers lately. With the weather slowly warming up, they become my comfortable go to shoe when I have a lot of walking to do, instead of boots. The weather here is surprisingly cold still but it's supposed to hit the 80's this weekend! That'll be nice. I foresee a trip to the beach in my near future.

I accidentally labeled two of my pictures with where the items are from. haha Is Tuesday morning brain a legit excuse?

 Victoria's Secret jeans 

ps. How cute is this Free People video showing off their February new arrivals? It's like a mini movie. It makes me want to dress in flowy clothes, don a hat, twirl around outside and make out with my husband. Gorgeous couple too. I've been crushing on him since I started watching Girls!

Black & Blue

Here's a simple outfit with the VS high rise legging jeans again. Indoor pictures are so boring in my apartment but it was the best I could do that day.
