And I could keep on going
a leopard came and played with my plaid
Another week as a Tres Chic Mama and I am showing off one of my favorite outfits right now; plaid and leopard mixed together. Now if my feet would just stopping swelling I could keep wearing these sandals. You can see the details here.
these are a few of my favorite things
it rained school supplies today
[Blazer Gap, Tee The Limited, Pants Vila]
Woke up to find I was 26 weeks pregnant, that puts a spring in your step metaphorically speaking. There truly is no spring in my step and even my students have noticed how slow I am some days. Oh well, with two in there I figured it is ok to slow down. So on with sparkles and slouchy pants, so comfortable and about as close to sweats as I will ever get.Happiness is when students present you with post-it notes and dry erase markers like they are a fine bottle of wine. Once again brought to tears by my amazing students and their thoughtfulness. Thea has conquered all of the baby gear, claiming it as her own. It is particularly interesting too see her try to unstick herself from the Bumbo. Kisses from husband and help froma father-in-law to try to finish the nursery ranks up there in happy land as well.
when in doubt wrap it up
I am having a bit of a fashion crisis, you see, the beely has gotten rather large and everything seems to be too short. So the cute penilskirt outfit I had planned fell through when the slit on the back was a bit too revealing. It doesn't help that the weather has turned to a glorious 80 degrees and I am trying to figure out if I like the airconditioning or not.
So sometimes we reach for old friends, and this dress counts as one of those; a wrap dress I bought during my last pregnancy. Not meant for pregnant bellies but it doesn't seem to mind and off I went, happy that something could wrap my evergrowing shape.
another way to style a maxi dress
Same dress from my Tres Chic Mama Diary but styled differently. I absolutely love that it is long enough and that it offers enough style to be worn to school, plus once again, it is non maternity. With days like this where the fog rolls in and the mist hangs in the air, I never know how to dress. And yet, this day, it worked.
off to the farmers market
[VIntage Wrangler denim coat, Zara Sweater, Buttondown Old Navy, Jeans Gap, Chukies]
Waking up early on a Saturday morning after yet another restless night and yet how can you not be happy? Off we go to the farmer's market which here in Madison is HUGE with the promise of freshly squeaked cheesecurds, a steaming cup of tea and a freshbaked almond croissant. I don't think there could ever be a better start to the day then that. Even if my face just wasn't cooperating this morning.
And if you ever wondered what 25 weeks pregnant with twins looks like, here you are.
this was done in less than 5
Some bobby pins and one braid is all this was. It stayed put all day and was as about as easy as it gets. This one will be a keeper.
sometimes it is just a detail
[Dress Target, Belt and Earrings H&M]
Another day of amazingness at school, so much love at home, and overall quality time spent. As a friend pointed out; that belly seems to grow in front of our eyes. So I grunt more and walk slower, definitely waddling by now, but at least I am waddling in style!
Wore a blazer over this but forgot to take a picture of it, oh well, chalk it up to pregnancy brain. I was so pleased though with my hair that I thought about doing a tutorial on it since it took me about 5 minutes to do, if even. Haven't gotten around to the tutorial and don't know if anyone would be interested, but there will be close ups of the hair soon.
