Friends, first I want to thank you for your sweet sentiments yesterday. It felt good to put closure to the issue by writing about it, so thank you for understanding.

Now onto our regular scheduled programming as promised. You know what kills me? I hate it when I buy a brand-new top that I am really excited about. And then I go out for Korean food and somehow in my haste to fill my belly, I end up spilling the worst part of said food on my shirt. You know the greasy stuff that NEVER comes out...yes, that would be what found it's way onto my shirt. Granted, you can see none of this in the photos but trust me it's there. And it will always be there. As a pregnant lady with limited wardrobe options, I cannot afford to slobber the contents of my lunch all over brand new shirts. Not cool Lindsay. NOT cool.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. I really cannot tell you how many shirts I have had to get rid of because of this issue. Sad...very sad.

I might have a tiny resemblance to Chewbacca in this outfit, but I don't care. This vest is so warm and cozy. Perfect for Chicago winters.

If I wasn't pregnant and hadn't walked a million miles this day, I would have swapped the knee-high boots for heeled booties for a chic-er look. But I am pregnant and I did walk a million miles, so boots it was.

Another very, very sad side effect of this pregnancy is that I hate the idea of lipstick. Like absolutely HATE it. And if you haven't gathered from the title of this blog I LOVE lipstick. It's very, very tragic. Sometimes I can manage it like this day. But as soon as I come home, I wipe it off. Who am I?!? Since when does pregnancy change something so central to who you are like lipstick?!?

Oh and when the lipstick comes off that means the real clothes are replaced by my husband's t-shirt and my trusty pj pants. Just being honest here people.

Lastly, I just want to thank all you lovely readers for your sweet comments to our big announcement yesterday. You guys make me want to be one stylish pregnant lady! Thank you for joining me on this journey!

saturday style: holiday party pizzazz!

{Dress | Earrings | Shoes | Clutch | Wrap | Lipstick}

Let's pretend for a moment that I'm not a stay-at-home mom who is feeling a bit under the weather, but instead a glamorous young adult in a big city with a fancy holiday party to attend. Wouldn't this be the perfect ensemble to adorn from head to toe?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend with real holiday parties to attend. See you Monday!

Happy Wednesday everyone! How is your week going? Mine has been super busy (this seems to be the theme this week). It seems like I can't get any of the little things done like going through the mail, doing the dishes or putting laundry away because I am running around doing a million big things (like trying to get my oven fixed STILL). Am I even making sense?!? One day I would just like to do nothing. Maybe in five years when my kid is in school? Don't burst my bubble here.

Anyway on to the good things...like this sweater. Can I just say, I love it. I mean paisley on one side and stripes on the other, does it really get any better than that? People, it's all about the little joys in life like a two-sided sweater. And finding your long lost wide leg jeans. That's the stuff dreams are made of.
