a little bit of fit

This top is a recent addition to my maternity wardrobe – I’ve also got it in black & gray. I like the feel of these tops, but mostly I was looking at what I could comfortably wear as a tunic now, and as a shirt later, when my bump prevents any other top from meeting my pants. They’re nice and flowy, but I’m learning they need to be paired with some structure so I don’t look and feel like a blob. Something structured or more fitted somewhere in my outfit, is helping me to feel a lot more put together and human lately. While leggings and loose tops are great, something to define my legs or bump go a long way.

I added the vest so I wouldn’t be wearing leggings as pants, but instead as pants under a tunic-type layer. This scarf is a gift from my sister-in-law many Christmases ago and I’m always impressed that it manages to go with almost everything, especially since the gray can lean purple and the dots can lean highlighter yellow in the wrong light.

Happy Spring!!

Mr. Picks Mondays: Butterflies

My Mr. picked this flowy butterfly print top, and I added the cardigan for a bit more coverage at work. Then we had a delicious dinner and frolicked with the pups.

I had a great weekend - I saw a dear friend of mine who is in the Peace Corps and has been on the other side of the world for the past year 16 months-ish; visited with a friend who just moved back to Colorado (hadn't seen her since our wedding); made it to a housewarming party, and spent some down time snuggling with my sweetheart and pups. Oh, and I ate well - of course!

Have a great week, my friends!
