Stitch Fix #1

Yay, I was so excited to see my first Stitch Fix arrive today!

Ohhhh....looks fun!

My 6 year old, Dori, was nice enough to be my photographer.  First, I tried on this maxi skirt because I knew right away that I would love it! I love the colors and pattern and it's actually not too long on me, which is so nice.  It's hard to find maxi skirts that don't have to be hemmed for me!  The navy top is mine and looks a little shabby but I already had it on, so it works :)

Next is a floral print keyhole blouse and some dark navy ankle length skinny jeans.  The blouse is cute, but I'm not too crazy about the big keyhole.  What do you think?  Plus, it's sleeveless and being at the end of summer I just don't know.  I guess I could put a cardigan over it!  I think the jeans are a pretty good fit!

Lastly is a draped-neck jersey top.  I do like the neckline a lot, but I think it may be a little too snug on my tummy.  Oh, and there is a crystal gem bracelet too, but I don't think I'll keep that.  

Hmm.....decisions!  I definitely will do this again, as I wouldn't normally pick some of these things out and it was so fun to see what my stylist would choose for me!  Here is a link to Stitch Fix if you'd like to try it out :)

Modest Monday

As a frequent reader of "The Modest Mom" blog, I was inspired by her new "Modest Monday" series and decided to post a picture of an outfit I've worn this week.  I'm a few days late in posting, but I'll try to keep up with this :)

I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant with baby #4, a boy!  I don't wear skirts every day, but I do love them and usually wear them several days a week.  The skirt in this picture is one I just made last week, from a pattern that can be found here.  I used a light-blue, cotton, old baby blanket of my first-born son for the maternity panel, which made me a little emotional bringing back all those memories :)  I was quite busy sewing last week, as I made two maternity skirts!  I'm wearing black leggings under the skirt for some extra warmth, and the grey boots certainly aren't the cutest and most stylish, but I've worn them so much this winter because they are so warm and comfortable!  The shirt is from Motherhood Maternity, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some shirts there that aren't low-cut :)  So there you are!  I don't feel very "cute" this pregnancy, as I started out weighing considerably more than with my last one, but I still try not to look frumpy even when I feel that way.  Some days that's easier said than done, and I pull out my comfy velour pants, though :)
