Perspective
Some of you may have seen a little bit of this via Instagram and a compare-contrast picture I posted yesterday. But since I’m sick today, I thought it was a good time to expound upon my thoughts. Yesterday, as I was going through my Pinterest outfit archives to save old outfit pictures for a remixed-items album on Facebook, I came across these pictures above and below, and they made me sad. Not because I was going through a bad time in any of these particular pictures or because the images themselves are depressing, but because I remember exactly what I thought of myself on any given day when these pictures…

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…

Polkadots and Pregnancy
So lately, people have been asking if I’m having the baby soon (as in, they think I’m almost due), and when I tell them I still have three months, everyone tries to backtrack really hard. It’s incredibly sweet of them to really not want to offend this pregnant woman by thinking I look… well… really pregnant, but here’s the thing: dude, I’m pregnant. I carry the kid ALL in the belly, so I know it sticks out. And you know what? That’s totally and completely okay. In fact, I love it. I love looking really pregnant. First of all, I know I don’t look fat, so let’s not even worry…

Cold days and paleo plans
You guys, it is COLD. Finally! I lucked out and snagged these pictures RIGHT before it started to downpour (again), and I have a feeling that the weather is going to be really temperamental for the next few days. Last night, the torrential rain came in 3-5 minute intervals. Today, I think it’s rained five times since I’ve gotten up, with broken clouds in between. But I love it. As you know, I’ve been really hot through pregnancy so the cool weather is welcome! If you’ve been around long enough, you know that a few months ago (okay, like… six) Mr. Owl and I embarked on The Whole 30. If…
