Pink Hawaiian
So I have been borrowing from my shop closet recently because… well, it’s all pretty stuff, to be honest, and I might be getting a little bored with my regular closet. There’s a real danger in doing this, though, because everything I wear from the shop I end up wanting to keep! This dress, for instance, is the perfect color of pink on me. And it’s got flowers on it which we should all know I love (65% of my dresses are florals. Seriously.), and it’s vintage, and it’s got a twirly skirt. The only thing that could cinch it would be a) if it were a tad smaller (it’s…

The Cat’s Meow
Okay, I have to say: this is probably my favorite outfit I have worn in… a really long time. I LOVE this shirt (and please tell me nobody ever tried wearing this as a dress. That’s where I found it, in the dress section at the thrift store…), and while I’m usually all about lots of color, I really like the overall palette of this outfit. But mostly, I’m just really in love with this shirt. I mean, you’ll see in the detail shot: it’s covered in cats. Cats wearing bow ties. Could it get any better? I wore this on Wednesday, the day when the pregnancy sickness came back…

Stars and Stripes
Happy Fourth of July! So far, today has been great for me. I have the day off, which is wonderful (except I’ll have to work tomorrow, which means I can’t stay up too late…), and I slept in till an uprecedented 9:30. You guys, when you’re pregnant, sleeping in is even better. It’s like heaven. The weather isn’t looking too promising but I’m going to have faith in the forecast, which says it’ll be sunny and in the 70’s by one o’clock. I hope. The clouds this morning do allow me to wear this cardigan, but I’m sure I’ll be losing it later. Do you all have any exciting plans…

White Eyelet and Red Snakeskin
I have to confess: I took this belt off within five minutes of getting to work. It’s one of the sad things of being pregnant; lots of my favorite skirts and belts don’t fit so well any more. But that just gives me leave to buy MORE skirts and belts that DO fit! It’s also made me wear dresses a lot more, because there’s more stomach room in most of my dresses, and the waists aren’t usually as snug. We’ll see how long that lasts. I have also been trying to wear the lightest (as in, coolest) clothes possible, and the least amount of layers I can get away with,…

Polkadots and Confessions
I have a confession to make: I have been hiding something from you guys for a few months now. I really didn’t know how to break the news on the blog, and have just been waiting for the right moment to do so. I thought I would be able to keep it to myself for a while longer, but I can no longer do so. It’s just getting too big to hide. Mr. Owl and I are going through some life changes right now. Very important and serious ones, and I thought is as good a day as any to tell you all what’s going on. These next few months…
