like whoa

when: friday, sept. 16, 2011

what i wore:
turtleneck: american apparel
jacket: target
necklace: target
skirt: debbie shuchat, hand-me-down from linda
tights: we love colors (olive green)
heels: poetic licence (won on twitter from @wemusthaveshoes)

where: work

i actually like this outfit better in photos than in the mirror. i thought the bottom half was strong (inspired by this pin) but wasn’t sure about the top half. eric picked out the necklace for me because i was running late (as usual) and he usually picks something different than i would. i like having his perspective. he thought the bubbles of the necklace would work well with the dots on my skirt…what a little fashionisto.

nerdy chic

when: thursday, sept. 15, 2011

glasses: charlotte russe

bow tie necklace: c/o hollydoll
jeggings: american eagle

where: work, midwife appointment

after a week of simple outfits, i really wanted to try out my six-item theory. plus it was 39 degrees outside when i woke up so i was all for layering. i think i could tweak this outfit just a bit (crop pants and flats, pocket protector, tape on my glasses) and wear it again next month for halloween. it is my least favorite holiday so i am always trying to find an easy and cheap costume from the things i already own. remember last year i was amelia earhart?

did you have a good weekend? my parents came down to visit and we had an awesome time enjoying each others’ company, the farmers’ market and three new-to-them restaurants. you can see photos from our weekend on our family and lifestyle blog.

week 14 pregnancy style my outfit

missed out

when: wednesday, sept. 14, 2011

what i wore:
sweater: h&m
leggings: be maternity via target
shoes: isaac mizrahi for target

where: work, date night

did you score anything from the missoni for target line? the huz and i went to check it out on tuesday evening but walked out empty-handed. i went to a different target the next night and…nothing. i went my whole life thinking iowans are not hip or fashionable, and then boom — all the missoni stuff is gone before i even get to target. jokes on me.

does anyone know if they are going to be restocking online or in stores? i would love to get these flats and maybe a decorative pillow (or two) for our couch. my birthday is in two weeks and i wear size 9.5…just sayin’… ;)

» i wasn’t planning to post another baby bump photo this week, but this sweater dress combined with the sun going down made this one my new favorite!

week 14 pregnancy style my outfit

week 14 of 40

when: sunday, sept. 11, 2011

what i wore:
dress: h&m
necklace: gap
leggings: be maternity via target
shoes: isaac mizrahi for target
purse: le mode accessories

where: work at bridal forum, dinner, grocery store

non-pregnancy update first: someone recognized me today! (hey, melanie!) i was actually checking out her boots, and then she came over and told me that she follows me on twitter. she knew it was me because of the top knot bun. woo! being recognized in public was a goal of mine so i was thrilled. please, if you ever see me around — say hi! :)

babe is the size of a lemon this week. we have a check-up today and have been praying that everything is and looks good!

my belly kind of exploded this past week. sometimes eric and i just stare at it in disbelief. i’m carrying so low that he says i look like a dr. seuss character, and i totally agree.

i feel like this is a special time in our marriage that we’ll never get back: a time when we’re expecting a child — and the excitement and planning that comes with it — but it’s still just us two. {hence why we have date night every single week.}

i ate four pieces of pizza for supper one night last week — double what i’d usually eat. and then we had popcorn and ice cream sundaes. the hunger strikes come on randomly.
