Sparkle

I feel like one of the characters from the movie Sparkle except I am few shades lighter and can not sing to save my life. I scored this skirt on cyber Monday, boy did I have fun shopping on the internet that day. I think I was a bit delusional because I bought everything in my pre pregnancy size. Until I get back to that size I am embracing my curves and learning to work around them.

 Cheers to a little sparkle in our lives.

29 Weeks Pregnant

So I am 29 weeks Pregnant and have officially switched from planning a home birth to now having a hospital birth. Once I am able to compose myself of my disappointment I will write more about it here. For now here are my pics for the week.

Don't be fooled the hair in the bun means my hair needs a good washing.

Cheers.

28 Weeks Pregnant

I may be capping off my use of non-matrenity clothes here really soon. My options are dwindling but until then I am in non-maternity most of the time. This dress I have had for awhile but have actually never worn it (I think). These were two camera shots right before leaving the house for church.

We ended up having a mini photo shoot with Lady and she totally cooperated in being prompted for poses. It was totally adorable but most of the pictures came out blurry or I would share her cuteness instead. I do however have the picture below where she posed next to me.

I have to be honest I feel kind of awkward after so many photos and I just wanted to fly away from my husband and the camera.

 Hahaha I had nothing left so I curtsy instead. 

Au Revoir.

27 Weeks Pregnant

The internet has been off because our modem or router was not working. I know nothing about those things so it was out of my hands to get fixed. I quiet enjoyed not being on the internet for a few days. But I am back and have lots of wonderful things to share. Here are some photos of last Sunday before church I was 27 weeks pregnant. I am trying to embrace my chipmunk cheeks.

 I have to add a silly face. 

 Cheers.

Giraffe

Recently I have been really into animal print but not all over my body. I have had this piece in my closet for awhile and it was given to me by a friend. I finally dared to wear it and I loved it paired with these shoes.

 I think I am 24-25 weeks pregnant in this photo.

Shoes to Serendipity

I bought these shoes in a coral color and I have a picture but because its so bad appreciate the photo above.

These shoes are very comfortable but there really high. I love heels and I only really wear them to church now but I think with spring and summer I will mix them into my weekly wardrobe. With a toddler its better to go on the side of comfort especially when I am running after her. 

I wore the above outfit to a Easter Egg Hunt/ 2nd Birthday Party. I love the unexpected pop of color, I think these will be one of my favorite shoes this season. 

Walking on Sunshine

In the perfect world you can buy something that is eco conscious, gives back and is so stinking comfortable.

Well it looks like we found perfect!

My whole family loves their TOMS

I have wanted a pair of TOMS since last summer and we finally got some this spring and there perfect.

Ladybird got a pair of Tiny TOMS and that's all she wants to wear. We bought them for a fun project but we haven't completed it yet so cant wait to show it finished. 

In honor of One Day Without Shoes read this below and join the cause.

For every pair of TOMS purchased a pair of shoes is donated to underdeveloped countries.

Shoes to Serendipity

I heart Instagram

I bought these shoes last May for my sisters graduation because I forgot my shoes for the dress I had brought. (I would say it was a clever plan for a new pair of shoes except I did not plan it) I received offers all day for a shoe swap because everyone loved them. They scream a Florida vibe to me. I have been wanting to wear them since last May I just couldn't think of what to wear it with. 

Mom, baby sister, Me, older sister

Not the greatest photo but this is what I wore for my baby sisters high school graduation.

Shirt I bought in London, Skirt Goodwill, Belt Banana Republic Outlet, Shoes DSW, Watch Fossil, Bracelets India

This is what came together! I love this skirt especially because I bought it at goodwill last year and it was a very happy addition to my closet. I enjoyed dusting off these pretty shoes and putting the outfit together.

You were created for Greatness,

God Bless

Serendipity

I thought of a cool creative way to display outfit post. My favorite part of anything creative is how one idea just spontaneously comes together or something planned comes together. The finished product. 

My new featured post will be called "Shoes to Serendipity"

Google Definition Serendipity: The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way: "a fortunate stroke of serendipity".

How it will work:

Spotlight a clothing item or accessory and then serendipitously show how it came together. 

This is new so bare with me as I work out all the details.

Shoes:

I have been searching for a  pair of taupe ankle boots for sometime and I finally found an affordable option.

I originally bought them for a denim dress but getting dressed this morning for church my outfit serendipitously came together.

You were created for greatness!

God Bless

Outfit of the Month(s)

OK so I figured while I am procrastinating to write my three page paper that is due tomorrow and that I have not even started, this time was as good as any to write a few blog post.

I think I wrote about this a month or so ago about how I feel like I finally found my style in clothing. I feel so comfortable and I am finally feeling like it fits my personality and I get to be creative. I have embraced a style of dress some call "street style" I am not unique in this but I feel good in it and I feel my age. No longer am I dressing to impress others but myself. Feeling confident overflows into all areas of my life.

I now look at clothes as a way to express my self almost like art. Not to tut my own horn because I am not that good or good at all. I just take ideas and dress myself like everyone else one leg at a time. But a few friends and some teenagers (biggest compliment of all) have asked if I would go shopping with them. (Ahhh... really....me... who am I ?!)

I wanted to post a few outfits and maybe make this a regular thing.

Warning:
Photos are taken myself in front of a mirror without any editing and sometimes no makeup. I have hand prints on my dusty mirror and a toddler at my feet. So not glamours but its just me : D

On our way to church

Love this photo because of my little lady 

Wow Crystal overload! I totally understand if you don't want to see me for a few days after all of these photos. I don't know the appropriate amount of pictures someone can have of themselves in one post but I will try and promise I will only do this once.

Have fun with your clothes.
