fall fashion

I've been on a bit of a fashion kick lately. Maybe it's because I feel in between in sizes - not quite fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes yet I will not continue to wear maternity clothes however, I don't want to buy all new as I hope to be in my old clothes soon. I also feel somewhat in between in my stage of life - I feel like I can't dress like a college student yet I want to know what's trendy, and then even though I know I'm a mom I don't quite fit the mom trend of high waisted pants and snowman jumpers. I fit somewhere in the middle of all that and have struggled lately to find things that look good, feel good, and are yet in style and appropriate for my age, life stage, and size. So I challenged myself to take a picture of myself dressed and ready everyday for a while. I did this for a few reasons 1. because I wanted to force myself to get ready every day as I feel that is so important for someone that works from home and stays at home with a little one. and 2. because sometimes you just need to see yourself in something to know that it's time to part ways with something because it's either too big, too small, or just isn't cute any more:)


Well I thought I'd share those photos with you all in case some of you are feeling similarly. I'm not sure all of these are great outfits - in fact I know they aren't but I thought maybe it'd help some of you get some ideas too. Or maybe it's just my "therapy" to tell myself that I'm not alone in this "in between" phase and you can still look good while there! :)

went to a triathalon this day - black nike pants, nike yellow dri fit & purple puffy vest with out of control hair :)

black mock neck 3/4 length shirt with dark washed jeans worn with leopard print flats

jeggings with cream and white stripped hoddie worn with camel boots

jeggings with graphic printed top and short sleeved open cardigan worn with white gladiator sandals

You probably noticed a trend of dark denim and my jeggings. I'm loving jeggings with loose fitted tops and my boots so far this fall and I think dark denim is slimming so that's why I'm living in them these days :) I recently bought several varations of the open cardigan that I'm excited to wear this fall too!
