a little bit fall.

So I've just realized that I am kind of love with the way an open scarf looks (hence the last two outfits). I think it adds a lot of interest to a relatively simple outfit. I especially love the way it looks here. It just adds so much.

And I am really starting to feel like myself more and more each day. I feel like my sense of style is starting to come back and I am not just restricted to maternity wear and large oversized items. I feel like I lost my style a little bit during this pregnancy because I wanted to cover up my arms or I felt like I had to try to mask my large belly. I don't have those problems anymore. And it makes me so, so happy! I feel like a new and refreshed me and I am ready to dive back into my closet (and this blog)!

On another note, I have become a reading machine. It's one of my favorite things about nursing. Every time I wake up in the dead of night to nurse B, I have my trusty Kindle by my side. I've blitzed through three books since he was born. Having a good read awaiting me every time I drag myself out of bed makes those dreary nighttime hours go by so much faster. And more importantly, it makes me love nursing. What is usually a tedious chore becomes a beloved, quiet moment between me and my babe (and my book of choice). And dare I say, maybe it makes me hope just a little (teensy bit) less for a child who sleeps through the night. Right now I'll take my quiet, peaceful moments where I can get them.

Linking up with Style Elixir, Because Shanna Said So and the Pleated Poppy.

  1. I love the open scarf too - and the combo of jean shorts + army jacket to suit the current weather but still feel a little fall. Love the ensemble, and so glad to hear you're feeling more yourself - I'm encouraged by that for after my pregnancy, and I'm encouraged about all this Kindle reading! I got one this summer just because I thought it would be handy for nursing (usually I prefer real books...) - what have you been reading?!

  4. Recommend any of the three books? ? ? I know this is a fashion blog, not a book club. Baby Brennan and Talinn may call for an elephant imitation when you wear that scarf! You look great. And I always want to go shopping after I see your ideas.
