Maternity Fashion: Blue and White

Hi guys! I have been going through such a hard time trying to find clothes to fit this growing belly. I am excited that the weather is changing because I can wear more dresses and stop trying to fit in to my pre-pregnancy jeans. I saw this dress in H&M and knew it would be perfect for me and I love it because I can wear it after I have the baby as well. It doesn't have any stretch in it so I may not get much use out of it in the coming months but it's perfect for now. 

I was going to a concert this day so I wanted to be comfortable so I paired this dress with these adorable Aldo slides. They are super comfy and in-trend for the summer. I am excited that flats and sneakers are so trendy this summer. I can be comfortable during pregnancy without compromising style.

Leather and Leopard

I'm sure I need leopard therapy. Leopard is my all time favorite print and I own so much of it; from shoes, scarves, bags, comforter sets, and home accessories. So when I saw this top at H&M, I had to have it. I love the fact that it has the leather sleeves because it gives the top a little more edge and fun. 

It is also a great top to have because of its versatility. I love clothes that I can wear to work and out. Go out and add some leopard to your wardrobe. Trust me, its a print that will bring happiness to your day. :-)

Happy Tuesday!!!!

Hey guys!! This week has been such a stressful week with work and maintaining my household. How has your week been going? This outfit was shot during one of my casual, relaxing days. I love the way the plaid shirt tied around my waist adds a little edge to my casual look. I plan on buying a couple more plaid shirts because I really love this style. And because it is only used as an accessory, you can use an old shirt that you haven't worn in years, your boyfriend or dads, or even a great vintage find.

Celebrity Inspiration: Kim Kardashian

I am such a fan of how Kim manages to always look so fashionable while still remaining classic and simple. Yesterday, I was trying to achieve a similar look. I wanted to be comfy for a day of running around, but still remain effortlessly chic. Kim's look was right up my alley. I am a huge fan of monochromatic looks and a bigger fan of all grey everything.  But this will be my last post without color. I am excited for the spring and as a farewell to the cold weather, I decided to wear my last colorless outfit yesterday.
