Oh baby, baby

Oh, I didn't tell you? Yeah, I'm knocked alllll the way up! Baby Cotton is due in June and I just got around to taking pictures Week 20. There's a banana sized human cooking in there.

This is my go-to "I don't know what else to wear" outfit: affectionately referred to as Pregnant Ninja (all black) with either a statement jewelry or fur piece, or both.

Stay tuned for my picks on the best maternity pants and probably a lot of TMI...

White Tuxedo Vest with Black Tee Dress

This super easy outfit was inspired by Jessica of Bows & Sequins. It's rare that I buy an exact piece from something I see online, but this vest was too cute (and cheap!) to pass up.

Camo and Stripes with Pigtails

Back in March, I accompanied Jill to an event at LOFT. At these things, there's usually a giveaway of some sort, and I wound up wining a $100 gift card! When I finally went back to pick up the card and go shopping, they were having one of their myriad 50ish% off sales, so I was able to scoop up these ridiculously comfortable jeans, a great pair pair of mint sunglasses, AND I still have money left over. Ooo that reminds me, I need to go back and spend the rest of it soon!

Camo Jeans with Pink and Yellow

FINALLY!!!!! I have been searching for the perfect camo jeans that weren't too dark, but weren't too girly either. And, of course, the fit had to be perfect. Gap had a few good looking options last year, but the fit was never quite right. Old Navy Rockstars to the rescue! I ordered these online, and they were everything I wanted them to be. The best part is that this is the new mid-rise fit, so no more booty-exposure getting out of the car!

Go-to Tuesday: Skinny Jeans at Old Navy

I'm a huge fan of shopping around, checking out new stores, and rifling through the racks at Marshalls. But sometimes, I know exactly what I need and where to get it. Go-to Tuesdays will be a weekly(ish) feature where I share my go-to stores for particular items.

Let's start off with Skinny Jeans.  Old Navy is, hands down, my first stop when I need to stock up. The Rockstar fit is my favorite (now with some great flares, too!), and I recently discovered that The Diva has a nice thickness to make white pants less see-through.

I've also had good luck with colored/patterned skinnies at Forever 21, although that is extremely hit or miss with the fit. And my newest discovery are the Super Skinny jeans at LOFT.

Navy and Black Tuxedo Pants with Red Turtleneck

Ooo girl, you know I love a good tuxedo pant! I popped into Old Navy hoping to find a new pair of skinnies, but I walked out with these babies. They are crazy comfy but extremely polished, which is basically the holy grail of dressing, amirite?!

Low-key Festive

This is what I wore to the last day of school before Winter Break. Thursday was the Holiday Concert, so all the teachers wore their Ugly Sweaters (I wore something very similar to this), so I was a little kitsch-ed out by Friday. I thought this green J. Crew sweater (found in store on sale) and JCP burgundy velvet loafers gave the essence of holiday spirit without being so in-your-face.

Star Hoodie with Leather Pencil Skirt

I found this sweatshirt in the kids department at Old Navy. Apparently, it was a big hit because it sold out already. 

If you haven't bought yourself a (faux)leather pencil skirt yet, YOU NEED ONE. I wear this bad boy to work, to dinner, and I almost wore it to a cocktail event (decided on something else at the last minute, but it would've worked beautifully).

Buffalo Check and Wedge Sneakers

It was only warm enough to wear this jacket for a short while, but MAN was is a great buy! I feel like it makes every outfit that much cooler.

These sneakers were deemed "ugly" even by the H&M shopgirl who held them for me in the dressing room, but I love them. I had been searching for a wedge sneaker that didn't make me feel like an old lady poser, and I think these are minimalist enough to work.

Striped Tunic with Sheer Panels

This is a casual summer look from before Chicago went nuclear! The black panels are sheer, with the back half a little longer than the front. My "guest photographer" (aka fiance) is still learning about capturing the clothes on camera (aka barely cares), but I swear the proportions looked spectacular in person! I've also worn this tunic with short cutoffs, which was also adorable.

A long, skinny necklace breaks up the long, loose line of the top (when it's not draped over one boob... sigh...). Bright earrings and purse liven up the color palate.

Tokyo Dragon Tee and Milkmaid Braids

Zara is having another one of their mega sales right now, and that's where I snapped up this cute tee from (yes, that's my gingham bra you can see... sorry, mom...). I wore this out on a double date with Jill and our misters. We had about a 10 minute turnover from Bar Method to dinner, so I threw this on (jeans and tee, can't get much simpler). My hair was a disaster, so I quickly braided and pinned it up.
