Style: June ‘09
I packed away all of my maternity clothes today (yay!). I was tired of wearing them, even though my one-month postpartum body still looks a bit pregnant. Now I need to focus on clothes that fit my slightly more rotund figure, are easy to take care of, and work for nursing. I [...]
Style: May ‘09
I put together my May style post a bit early, frankly because I could use the distraction. No, the baby has not arrived yet. Looks like I’ll be going from overdue to truly post-term. I’m scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning.
So for now… fashion! Glorious frivolity!
I’m eager to wear normal clothes [...]
Style: April ‘09
Oh, April. My last month being pregnant, hooray! One last maternity look before I have to start dressing 24-7 for easy boob access.
I like this maternity shirt dress, and of course it’s easy to find shirt dresses like this one for the majority of you that are not currently pregnant. I [...]

Spring is almost here! Maybe that’s why I’m loving bright kelly green these days…
For my fellow pregnant ladies, this maternity smocked shirt dress is pretty cute. And for everyone else? This silk pleated dress is beautiful, but this keyhole dress is really sweet and more casual (though I’d lose the belt).
I love [...]
My Kooky Ring
For those that had noticed the ring in my last shot, here’s a better photo of it:
It’s from Ananas, a shop here in Oak Park. The ring is handmade, but unfortunately I don’t have any other information about it. Brandon bought it for me after he saw me admiring it and trying it [...]
Style: February ‘09
I think sweater vests are terribly cute, especially this striped red one with a simple white t-shirt underneath. A black pencil skirt and low red heels make the vest seem more feminine, and the little librarian pin is a cute touch. The yellow resin necklace is a quirky addition (I actually bought it [...]
Style: January ‘09
A new month, a new style post. I have a lot of fun making these, so I hope you enjoy them!
I adore the huge print on this chainlink-print dress. Absolutely adore it. I often like to add colored tights but here I think I’d stick with gray. I’d also wear my [...]
My Organized Closet
Somehow, I can leave dishes in the sink (instead of loading the dishwasher that’s two feet away), and I’ll let random things pile up on the dining room table, but I am not someone that can shove a bunch of stuff behind closed doors and consider it “put away”. Yes, I DO that (I’m [...]
Style: December ‘08
Looks like I’m loving ruffles this month…
I’m not normally a big fan of Steve Madden shoes, but I saw these Impereal T-Strap Ruffled Pumps in a shop window and was instantly smitten. The Knitted Ruffle Dress from Boden looks like the kind of comfy, warm dress that would be perfect all fall and winter [...]
Iowa Wedding Weekend
Here’s what Brandon and I looked like this weekend:
The first look is a variation on my October Style Post, and the last look is my November Maternity Style Post.
