Date Night: Stripes and Florals
Last Friday, my husband and I went out on a date. It’s something we’ve tried extra hard to do at least twice a month ever since Asa was born; I think several people gave us the advice to make a point to continue dating each other after marriage and especially after kids, and I think it’s great advice! Not only does it keep each other the focus of your relationship and remind you both to value each other as friends and lovers, but it also teaches and reassures your kids as they grow older that their parents have a solid relationship. No matter how much they protest seeing you kissing…

Maternity Style: How to Mix Patterns (like a boss)
Every once in a while when I am thrifting, I come across garments or patterns that really bring me back to a place of nostalgia. Whether it’s a jacket that I totally remember wearing in the snow (oh, the bright puffy 80’s-ness!) or turtlenecks that take me back to my really nerdy multicolored Harry-Potter-esque glasses days (although I didn’t know about HP at the time), I love sorting through racks of clothes and being reminded of those years. Most of the time, those things make me laugh. But here and there I come across a piece that is nostalgic in the best way. This dress is one of them. It…

Maternity Style and a Giveaway! (CLOSED)
Happy Tuesday! Today’s post is going to be short because I am trying really hard to update Etsy and also because… tired pregnant mom. Not gonna lie, I’m SO ready to be done being pregnant! I thrifted this skirt on Saturday because I had nothing to wear that fit for a wedding we were going to… on Saturday. Last minute, much? Sadly, I didn’t get to take any outfit pictures other than the one I posted on Instagram, but I think this skirt is destined to be something I always pair with other patterns! I already have two or three different outfits dreamed up and all of them include another…

Maternity Style: victory rolls and a vintage clutch
So I’ll be super honest here: I have not been feeling inspired to get dressed these days. Retro maternity style is hard to figure out, especially considering true vintage maternity style in my preferred era was… wearing a tent. And I don’t really want to wear a tent. But then a few days ago, a friend who knows I love vintage gave me an entire lot of 60’s-80’s vintage her mom was giving away, including jewelry and purses and wigs (hey hey!) and as I mourned the fact that none of the vintage clothing would fit me, I wondered… why am I not dressing like the vintage woman I want…

Silver Propet shoes, florals, and stripes
I am very excited to review and show you the second pair of Propet shoes, which are a pretty silver flat with laser cutouts. These, as they suggested, do fit much better in the toe and are every bit as adorable and comfortable as the leopard print ones. I actually really love silver as a flat, too; I find that I rarely wear black shoes, but white tends to get very scuffed, and I’m not in favor of a nude shoe ever. So silver is a great substitute neutral. I love that these have the cutouts in them; it’s perfect for what I’m guessing is going to be a very…
