Actually a Dress

As this belly grows bigger and bigger, it’s getting hard to find shirts that are long enough. This top is actually a dress technically, but I’m loving wearing it as a top with leggings. These leggings have been my best friend these last few months. I dare you try and take them from me! It’s not happening 🙂

I have been so grateful that it has been warming up lately. Considering it hailed most of the day today, though, I’d say the weather is still feeling a bit moody. I try and keep a jacket with me for those swings that sneak up on you. This jacket is fun and a little edgy!

For my makeup I decided to keep everything pretty neutral except my lip color. I like to add a little pop sometimes! I’m wearing Desert Sunset blush, IIID foundation, honey illuminator, eyeshadows sabrina, mama, oak, and trust all from HERE

Hope you are doing well! Have a beautiful week and be kind 🙂 XO

All you Need is a Light Jacket

Christmas always comes and goes so quickly! It is a bit of a whirlwind. This year it was a chill whirlwind haha if there is such a thing. We just enjoyed each other’s company and played games. It was lovely! I hope you had a wonderful holiday as well!

We were blessed with a fairly warm fall this year compared to past years. This winter has had some beautiful days as well, even though right now it’s a bit on the snowy side. If you happen to live somewhere where all you need is a light jacket, I envy you a bit! This jacket still works for us snow people too, though. It’s light enough to still be able to wear a coat over outside, and classy enough to hit a nice dinner for date night!

I chose to pair it with a simple black dress, but I have also worn it with some skinnies and boots. It is so versatile and the little step detail in the front adds some structure and interest to any look.

This jacket also works with a growing belly 🙂

As always, I’d love to see your styles, so tag me on Instagram and show me! Hope you have a lovely week eating those leftovers and recovering from the excitement 🙂 XO

Flowy Fall Maxi

I love when the leaves are both on the trees and on the ground. It’s a small window, but I always appreciate it. I love driving down streets downtown with big, mature trees! It feels like a tunnel of amazing fall-ness 🙂

This dress from Make Me Chic also adds to the feeling of amazing fall-ness, because it is perfect for this weather! It is fully lined through the skirt, so it is warm enough for these cooler days, but still flowy and easy to wear. The olive color is one of my favorite colors to wear in the fall and winter! One of my favorite parts about it is that it can be dressed up for a formal holiday party, or worn more casually as well. I love a versatile piece that stands on it’s own!

I chose to pair it with simple gold jewelry here. I plan to dress it up with more jewelry and heels next time! I love how comfortable it is, yet looks so classy.

What are your favorite fall items? We are fully embracing the pumpkin everything and hot wassail! XO
