Dress: Target
Blazer: Forever21

I wore this dress a lot when I was pregnant. It is really the perfect basic black. I can put anything with it, so naturally, I reach for the leopard print. It might be a sickness. Seriously.

Denim Shirt: Piperlime

Jeans: Seven
Boots: Carlos by Carlos Santana (via gift)
Necklace: Carson's

If you don't know much about how to layer. Start with a denim top and put almost anything with it. It is like magic! I love this outfit. It makes me so thankful for layering. Also, I'm psyched to be wearing these fab jeans again post baby!

When it is this cold, my brain doesn't even work. I love the color of this sweater. And it is probably the warmest one I own, BUT its also super super itchy! uck! What do you do about itchy sweaters? not wear them? wear long sleeves under them?

Baby Austin is doing much better. He thinks paddy-cake is hilarious!

Getting dressed and making it to work when your 3 month old baby is sick is a whole new experience. Last week I didn't get to post any outfits because my brain was all baby and all work. This week we're hoping to be back on our game. The little Munky is doing MUCH better - much to my delight.

This week of no new outfits is brought to you by...

This sick baby:



Austin was diagnosed with RSV over the weekend, so we have been a bit off our game this week. He is doing better and breathing pretty well now, and he's been in good spirits the entire time!

Oh Parenthood!

This was not my favorite outfit and not my favorite day. The redeeming quality of this outfit is these lovely shoes. Believe me when I say that I'll wear these shoes a LOT when it gets warm out. Yay for leopard shoes for being a bright spot in my blah outfit on my blah day!

Sweater: LOFT

I really enjoyed wearing this outfit, but just so we're clear, these aren't "technically" pants. They are leggings which I wouldn't normally recommend in a professional setting unless you are pregnant or they are under a dress. But I make exceptions all the time and today was one of those days.

For some reason I feel like wearing these with these tall boots make them look a little less like straight up leggings. Oh well! I make the rules anyway!

I could totally play in traffic in this outfit, but man do I love that neon! This outfit is pretty exciting because this is what I wore to go Wedding Dress shopping with my baby sister! This was her first time checking out some dresses since her engagement in December. I am so excited for all the wonderful exciting things that will happen in her life over the next couple of years!

Blouse: Macy's
Pants: LOFT
Blazer: H&M

Everytime the temps get subzero,  I reach for these pants. They are ever so slightly big on me, but I wear them anyway in the name of warm legs. This blouse is one that my sister and I bought together a long long time ago. We were supposed to share it, but I think I have had it most of the time! (sorry sis)

As a bonus, it is stretchy and great for breastfeeding! I see my wardrobe through new eyes these days!

Sometimes you have mornings that just don't work! This morning was all thrown off including spending way too much time scouring my entire closet for something I want to wear. Somedays this just happens to me, but it is extra difficult because poor baby Austin was not happy about having to sit around waiting for me. Having a baby can sometimes make getting out the door and off to work a harrowing experience!

I know chunky sweaters work nicely with leggings/skinnies, but do the work with pencil skirts? That is what I set out to learn. I think it works okay. I just love the minty color, so I'm happy about that.

I thought this outfit was fun. The colors are great together. It is a little bit out of the box for me in terms of shape, so I think that is good. Trying knew things is a good way to grow.

Sorry for the grainy photos. It is still not quite bright enough in the mornings for my photos. Plus, I got a new camera, and we're just getting to know each other. I did manage to use it to snap some sweet images of my sweet:

Over Thanksgiving I had a terribly time figuring out how to dress for breastfeeding. This gave my sister a Xmas gift idea. She went out and found a BUNCH of shirts that I can wear while nursing little Austin. This top is one of them. It works because of the scoopy neck and stretchy fabric. It is also stripey which I love and has subtle little sparkles - which I also LOVE.

As a side note, today is my 4 YEAR blog-iversary! I can't believe I have been taking photos for 4 years now! A lot has changed in four years! I should probably do a redesign sometime. I'll work on that between diaper changes. (hint: don't get your hopes up!)

Here's my lovely first outfit!

Blouse: H&M
Blazer: gift
Pants: LOFT
Shoes: GUESS

This outfit worked better than I thought. I thought people might think I'm silly for having my blouse sleeves longer than my blazer sleeves, but I've decided I sorta like it!

Maybe one day soon I'll be able to take pictures outside! Come on SUN!
