Sporty

Now that I'm in the home stretch of my pregnancy, I prefer to wear more casual and comfortable clothes. Luckily maternity pants are SO comfortable. When I don't have to dress up, I like wearing athletic wear around the house or for running errands. I can still fit into most of my non-maternity athletic bottoms since they are more elastic in the waistband. This is one of my fave sporty styles that I've been wearing lately on the weekends.

I bought this preggers shirt back when I first found out I was pregnant because I thought it was so cute. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to wear it much longer as my belly is getting too big for it (it's not a maternity shirt, which is a bit ironic, haha). :(

I just have to point out this awesome Thirty-One bag that I received from my friend Kristie! I think I have a thing for purple plaid (it's also the print of my main suitcase that I use when I travel). This bag is perfect for anything that you need to carry ~ I am impressed with how much it holds. I think I may use it to carry around all the baby stuff when baby girl gets here. :) Thirty-One bags are so versatile, come in many prints, and can be personalized! They have a lot of cute storage and thermal options too.

Pants ~ Under Armour

Purple + Teal

I always like playing around with different color combos, and I really like this one! Guess what - this is my first post wearing maternity clothes! The shirt is maternity. The jeans are my regular ones - I can still wear them using the rubber band trick! :)

Many of you know by now that I have a thing for impractically small clutches. This is one of my favorites that my hubby got me for my birthday last year. I love how it adds some edge to an outfit with the spikes and studs.

What I'm Wearing

Top ~ Motherhood Maternity (non-maternity option)

Jeans ~ WHBM

Shoes ~ Bakers (similar here, here, and these are fun!)

Necklace ~ ??

Bracelet ~ Guess (similar for under $5)

Clutch ~ Henri Bendel

Sunglasses ~ Oakley

Purple Maxi Dress

I haven't wanted to commit to buying any maternity clothes yet, but I know that time is quickly coming! I found a couple of maxi dresses when we visited the outlet mall in San Marcos a couple weekends ago. The comfortable, stretchy material makes maxi dresses ideal for pregnancy and this one should hopefully fit my belly as it gets bigger.

This dress is sleeveless, so I added a blazer to dress it up and make it work appropriate.

The dress without the jacket:

Obligatory bump pictures :)

3-Year Anniversary

Today is a great day ~ it is my 3-year wedding anniversary! My hubby and I took a spontaneous trip to Austin this past weekend to celebrate. We took the dogs with us and it was a lot of fun hiking with them around the city.

Here are some of my favorite shots from our big day. My wedding colors were black, white and red (with a couple splashes of purple thrown in) and my theme was polka dots. :)

He is so handsome :)

The cake was a little untraditional, as was the cake topper (we love football and played on a flag football team together!)

The bouquet toss was brutal ;-)

These photos were taken by the amazing Lacy over at More Than An Image.

Thrift Style Thursday: Hats!

Unfortunately I do not own a thrifted hat, but I love hats and still wanted to participate this week. This dress is thrifted though! I love that it looks like a blouse and skirt, but is effortless as one piece. I think this is one of my favorite outfits to date.
