Spanish Influence

As a pregnant woman, I belong to a list of forums for moms-to-be. Its a natural decision because I really don't know anything about being a mom so, it is nice to log into a site and see that other people fear and love the same things you do about being pregnant. One of the things I saw on one of the sites was to spend 10 minutes a day with your baby...however it is that you can interpret that. My way is to dance in the morning with my belly. I know that seems really corny but, music is a huge part of my life and I want my child to hopefully love music the in the same way.

This morning I hit shuffle and The Gipsy Kings came on. I have this secret liking for Spanish guitar music and I am not really sure where it originated. I have a few mexican style dresses but, considering the gloomy, rainy 45 degree weather this morning, I chose this dress which is sort of my next closest option.

Cardigan: Kohls

C'est la fete Nationale!

Ok, it is Bastille Day but, I didn't wear red, white and blue in honor of my French heritage....instead, I wore my new dress from Anthropologie! My mom was nice enough to buy it for me after I fell in love with it on a recent Mom/Daughter shopping day over the weekend for my mom's birthday. I wore it today because my grandmother would have loved this dress so it was a little bit in honor of her. She had a huge love for southwestern anything. We used to take vacations with her and my grandfather in the summers to various southwestern states. I even wore the turquoise Navajo jewelry I inherited from her.

The best part about the dress is the beaded detail on the waist. I really love that it is so colorful and can be wore easily summer-winter.

Untitled

I apologize for my horrible blogging ability lately. The world has just gotten so busy. I sound like a broken record, I know. However, I seem to have found time to shop because I have bought so many wonderful pieces over the last few days. Including this beautiful navy and ivory scalloped skirt from Anthropologie. Usually I just walk into that store and try everything on but, never buy anything because it is too expensive. But this skirt was amazingly 40% off! I was so excited I wore it the next day to work!

Blouse: Forever 21

Skirt: Anthropologie

Leggings: Hue

Shoes: Target

Because the outfit was so dark, I went with classic makeup: neutral eyes, red lips. The red lipstick is more of a berry but., it went well with the floral top without looking too spring (it is still 35 degrees here in Chicago).

Today was slightly different. I spent the day with my best friend at the IKC Dog Show in Chicago. Now, disclaimer: I don't like dogs. I am a cat person. BUT some of these dogs we just adorable! My favorite was this little guy!

Two Days of Meetings

Our office is pretty business casual and most of the younger girls dress fairly trendy so, when I realized I had two meetings with vendors in two days, I took the opportunity to dig out some of the more business formal outfits I own. I don't wear them as often because I feel fairly dressy compared to my coworkers when I do. In fact, I am not going to lie, I feel fairly dressy on normal days too (and you see those outfits most of the time when I post them).

Day 1

Necklace: ModCloth

Shirt: Express

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: Target

Day 2

Jersey Cardigan: Francesca's Boutique

Necklace:F21

Blouse: Rogan for Target

Skirt: ModCloth

Leggings: Target

T-Straps: Crown Vintage London

In more serious news, I have been completely obsessed with a few items for the spring and since my husband finally got a job after 7 months of being laid off as a architect, I am itching...ITCHING to shop! The following items have me breaking my New Years no-buy resolution!
