Rainy Spring Days

We have had QUITE the rainy Spring here and Utah, and thanks to some really cute and comfortable rain-wear, I haven't complained a single time about it! I always cook things that my mom used to cook on rainy days since it reminds me of home. This last week I made no-bake cookies and chicken and broccoli casserole :)

Rainjacket: Helly Hansen, Boots: Joules, Leather Bucket-Bag: The Sak, Jeans: Rock and Republic, Half-zip Jacket: Upsessive

How to Train Your Dragon Costumes

I had a lot of questions from my friends about these costumes so I thought I would share how I made them. I think I ended up spending about 2 hours tops on these and only about $10 or less. My mom made the boys' Toothless costumes by using Pinterest posts as her guide- you can find those on my Halloween board.

Dressing The Baby Bump

So, I have a little story about maternity clothing...this pregnancy has by far been the hardest for me. I have been feeling nauseous most of the time (and I am 22 weeks!) and the only way I feel good is if I keep eating ALL THE TIME. It is super annoying because I still don't feel great that way and have gained more weight than with the last 2 pregnancies. I can't complain too much because I am just really grateful to be pregnant and to have pretty easy pregnancies. But, this is becoming a problem when I try to get dressed in the maternity clothing I have already had that is fitting me like I am 7 months pregnant.

So, the other day I was trying to put a cute outfit together for a date with my husband and thought I had found a pretty cute and pretty flattering outfit. Then, the Fed Ex guy surprised me with a package from Miccimo. It was like Christmas- I went in my room and pulled out all of the goodies they sent and put everything on. One after the other I was shocked at how much better their clothing fit and looked than the "cute" outfit I had just spent 15 minutes putting together. I even kept the dress on that they had sent for an hour so that I could show my husband how cute it made my awkward body look.

Miccimo KNOWS pregnant bodies. They are SO good at dressing them- trust me. So, I hate to even show you my awkward fashion blog pictures I attempted, because they really don't do the clothing justice. I am still trying to get the posing thing down- you'd think I would be good at that since I'm a photographer, but I am just not good at posing myself. These are three pieces they sent that worked well together.

The blazer is so comfortable and works well with almost anything. You can wear it open or close the clasp in the middle:

What I Wore Wednesday

I just want to say first off that doing these posts is a little intimidating...I really don't have much style and really struggle when putting outfits together and accessorizing.

This has been a good way for me to do something that scares me and has forced me to actually get dressed every day and even wear jewelry! It seems like such a task at the time, but I always feel much more put-together and confident when I do!

Thanks for all your sweet comments - even when I know there has to be a lot of "constructive criticism" that a lot of you are holding back sharing :) You are helping me be more open-minded and artistic with my style and maybe one day I will know what my style actually is!

Allie's doctor's appointment, errands:

Black shorts - Banana Republic Outlet...7 years ago :)
Shirt - Thrifted $2 (thanks mom!)
Silver hoop earrings - Diamond Shark online $2
Silver nail polish - Bon bons (my fave)
Ring - gift from my sister

Playing with Allie outside, working on some projects, and organizing my closet:

Racerback tank - Target $8 (thanks again mom!)
Undershirt - Shade
Jean shorts - cutoff gap jeans

Shopping with Trey and Allie (Read about that at the bottom of my post)
Iceberg for blueberry milkshakes later

Shirt - Guess
White tank - Shade
Capris - Target (yes I know they are very wrinkled!)
Feather earrings - Charlotte Russe $4
Shell Bracelet - Cozy Clothes

Church on Sunday:

Shirt - Thrifted $2 (it looks brand new too!)
Brown lace tank - Downeast Basics $5
Skirt - Banana Republic Outlet - $30 about 7 years ago...
Shoes - Target

Grocery shopping, stopping by Trey's office for lunch, and editing pictures:

Shirt - Thrifted and adjusted (taken in on bottom, sides, and neck)

Shorts - Lucky $30 w/ gift card (otherwise I wouldn't have paid that much)
Earrings - just made...may be selling a few pairs on etsy soon...

For those who care, this last Saturday I FINALLY convinced Trey to go shopping with me and get some clothes. He hasn't bought clothing for himself in 4 1/2 years! Not just because he hates shopping, but also because he is SO picky. No one even tries to buy him clothes. I stopped trying after the first year of marriage because I got tired of having to return everything :(

So, we went to Old Navy. He bought exactly one button-up collared tee and one pair of cargo shorts...its a start. He thinks he is done for another couple of years. :)

What I Wore Wednesday

Some of you know why I didn't get around to taking pics of my outfits every day this last week...So, instead I have posted some random days from the last 2 weeks...

Staying at home all day, cleaning...getting ready for my family to get in town :)
