Spring Showers

It was this week last year that I was crazy pregnant enjoying the spring weather at my outdoor baby shower.  Here we are a year later already, but now I am enjoying spring storms and showers.  

Thankfully, instead of having a giant belly and penguin-walk like last year, I have an adorable 10 month old and am slowly working on getting my pre-baby body back.  I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy, we are talking 50 pounds, but I am proud to say that I am just 8 pounds away from my pre-baby weight right now.

With that being said I don't dress like I used to.  Adorable cute clothes are hard to find, especially since I am a larger size than I was once was.  In a desperate attempt to add some clothes to my wearable collection, I gutted my closet to see what would still fit me from before baby.  That is when I found this little polka-dot number.
This shirt has been in my collection for a few years; the ruffled bottom and zippered back attracted me to the shirt years ago, and seeing as how ruffles are huge right now, I knew it was perfect.

For a stormy Spring day I paired the top with my black skinny jeans and Hunter rain boots.  I didn't feel like a lot of accessories were necessary with this ensemble, so I kept it simple with a pair of stud earrings.
Hopefully I will be back to my pre-baby weight by swimsuit season, but for now I am pretty proud of myself for how much weight I have lost so far.  Now to prepare for today's predicted thunderstorms.

Stripes & Chucks

Once upon a time I wore cute skirts and dresses on a daily basis.  Now, I am all about comfortable.

Having an eight month old requires me to be on my hands and knees on the floor most of the day, so skirts and dresses just aren't practical anymore.  I live in stretchy jeans, slip-on shoes, and shirts that can take a little baby tugging and drool.  
This particular day I wore my favorite stretchy-skinny jeans with my new Chucks.  I have never owned a pair of Chucks before but when I saw their new slip-ons with suede laces I knew I had to get a pair.  They were a little snug at first but I am slowly breaking them in.  (I seriously love these shoes).  
Paired with a comfortable striped shirt and fringe scarf, it's the most comfortable outfit that I have felt cute in for quite some time.  
Stripes are a classic, and never go out of style.  Plus, the slouchy fit is perfect for moving around in.  The scarf has to be my favorite component; not only does it keep me warm while being the perfect accessory, but it gives my little one something to hold on to when I am holding him.  

I know I have over-worn this outfit, but you can't have too much of a good thing right?
