Pregnancy Style Recap

May 3, 2016 Lauren

As my due date approaches I wanted to get a recap up of what I wore and some style tips during pregnancy. I think one of the best pieces of advice I took was don’t be afraid to wear pre-pregnancy clothes and incorporate them into your pregnancy pieces.

There are some non-negotiable pregnancy pieces for me. Leggings and jeans that go over the belly. Everyone is different but I couldn’t get comfortable (in later pregnancy) with elastic/waistbands digging into my lower tummy.

Pictures and items will be list left to right, top row than bottom row.

Blazer Series: Part 2

March 3, 2015 Lauren

Since I started this series I decided I should publish a little “How to” for blazers. They are so versatile but sometimes that can be really overwhelming when creating an outfit. So here ya go!

Step One: Blazing it up. Find a great structured blazer. If you don’t have one already I would recommend black or navy as they are very neutral and can go with many blouse options.

Step Two: Top of your game. A soft blouse/ t-shirt or sleeveless shirt to go under the blazer. For a more casual occasion I go with a plain t-shirt and for a dressier occasion a blouse. Feel free to spice it up with a pattern or a bright color! Just remember your shoes and accessories will need to compliment one another.

Step Three: A mean jean. A well fitting pair of jeans. Remember jeans can be colored or regular. Whatever you feel most comfortable in or whatever color is suiting your mood! I prefer a dark wash denim with my black blazer. It gives it that dressed up crisp look. But when I am going more casual a light wash jean is my “go-to”.

Step Four: Pump it up. A nice pump really helps balance the jean and blazer look. Gives you classy and edgy look. Go for a fun color (magenta) or pattern (leopard)!

Step Five: Bling, Bling. A statement necklace is the icing on this outfit. If you haven’t gone bold with your shoes, or top here is where you can make your impact.

Step Six: Show em’ what you got. Have fun in your new outfit!
