Think Pink
The entire day I wore this outfit, I had “Think Pink” from Funny Face running through my head. I felt SO deliciously girly, and I loved it! Not that I don’t normally dress girly on a day-to-day basis, but there’s just something about having a pink-dominated outfit that makes a girl feel pretty. What’s funny is that when I was little, pink was not my favorite color, and it hasn’t been until the last year or so that I’ve started to really love the girliest of shades. I’ve been watching Extreme Cheapskates lately; does anyone watch that? Some of the people on the show… oh my goodness. I mean, there’s…

Red
You guys, I am so, so, SO in love with this dress from Shop Vintage Minnie! I’m not going to lie, I wore it for three days straight when I got it in the mail. It’s not only red, which is my favorite color, but it’s got flowers on it, which you all know I’m addicted to anything floral, it fits my pregnant belly, and it’s vintage. A combination like that is irresistible. There’s a similar blue one available if anyone wants to, you know, send it to me. Haha! Plus, it looks good with boots OR heels. I wore it like this just for a day out and about…

28 weeks
Yesterday, I was browsing through my Pinterest board of old outfits, and I came across a few images that made me really miss not being pregnant. I started to feel all those silly feelings you get when you see a skinnier version of yourself– less glamorous, less confident, less beautiful — and you guys, all of those feelings are ridiculous. So I decided I was going to do a glamorous maternity shoot with myself, to remind me why I love being pregnant. But as I was getting ready, searching for an outfit to wear, trying out different hair and makeup, nothing really felt right. Every time I thought about what…

Flower Child
Do you ever have those days where you have all the pictures, but nothing to say? This is one of those days. I think I might be a reincarnation of my mom’s highschool era. Oh wait: I do have something to say. I love this cat. You’ve probably all seen pictures of him on my Instagram, because he is obsessed with our house and attempts almost daily to come inside. Apparently he used to live here, and now he lives across the lawn in the other house on this property. I adore him. He is always purring and meowing loudly, he’s cuddly, he loves to be held, and he’s just…

1960’s Houndstooth
I could have titled this post “how to create a retro outfit from modern garments”, because despite my love of vintage, nothing in this outfit is older than 3 years. I actually just bought this dress last week, and after having searched for a white lace dress for at least a year, it was a great triumph to find one under $25! Of course, it’s really dangerous for me to own white garments, because not even three hours later, while wearing it, I dropped a piece of sweet-and-sour chicken (yeah, I do occasionally stray from paleo!) on it. Thank goodness for pre-spot solutions. It’s so funny, I have several concerned…
