Coming to a close
Well, you guys, it’s the last day of the year! And what better way to end the year than with a fabulous dress? Sunday Millie sent me this adorable 60’s number, and I LOVE it! My husband is skeptical about the fabric– it’s a mixture of satiny and rough — but I told him it doesn’t matter. The pattern is cute, I happen to like the fabric, and it’s one of those awesome tent dresses that can be belted for shape, or left flowing if you’re feeling lazy. I keep thinking I should be writing a deep and thoughtful look back at the year on this last day of 2013,…

This is real life
Yesterday was the first day of my pregnancy that I have thought “Yeah, I’m done.” I’ve been feeling less-than great, and I think it’s all the tempting holiday food. But it could also be that I am now 21 days from my due date, and almost full term! The misery had to set in sometime! So I thought I would share real life with you. I didn’t leave the house yesterday, I didn’t wash my face, I didn’t put on makeup, I didn’t brush my hair, and I didn’t edit these pictures other than cropping. And, to be honest, I’m fine with that! I might look less glamorous in these…

Fall Colors and Pregnancy Updates
Do you ever have those days where you have several different outfits to post, and you just can’t decide which one to go with first? This week has been like that. I have three different Dressember outfits in my backlog, and after debating a lot about which one to share first, I decided… might as well keep going in Chronological order. Haha! I have a hard time sharing posts out of order from when they happened! Please ignore the weird stain on the dress skirt; I have no idea where that came from! But that happens a lot. I can’t see anything past the top of my belly, so I…

Slowing Down
This outfit marks the last one that I will be wearing with heels. Sadly, as I mentioned in my last post, I discovered that it totally stresses my husband out that I’ve been wearing high heels while pregnant (because I fell down… in this outfit, right after I finished taking outfit pictures. Scraped up my knees, bled on the tights — thank goodness they’re red — and scuffed one of the sleeves of the dress), and lately I’ve also finally been feeling some harsher pregnancy effects, like my hips being out of whack and the groin soreness getting worse and worse. So, goodbye to heels until sometime after January! I…

Week one of Dressember 2013
One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven So far, I have loved doing Dressember, and I hope some of you have taken an interest in it as well! Even if all I do is wear dresses every day with nothing raised, it’s helping to bring awareness to a great cause, and that is worth it! If you don’t know what Dressember is: this year, women everywhere can wear a dress every day in December to raise awareness and money for the International Justice Mission, whose goal is to rescue victims of slavery, sex trafficking, and other forms of oppression. And even if you missed…
