I have majorly fallen in love lately with Boden. Have you ever shopped there? Such cute stuff. I like it because it’s priced great, chic and stylish and perfect for my 31 year old self. The catalogs I get in the mail get one too many dog eared pages of things I would like to order. And don’t get me started on Mini Boden. Oooh the cuteness!!

I really love the pattern and bright color of this sweater. I’ve been wearing it a ton. I think I love it so much because it lets me dress simple. Jeans. Sweater. Watch. Heels. Done and Done. The pattern really takes the place of any accessories needed.

I got these cute heels at Tj Maxx the other day. They’re just a tiny bit higher than a kitten heel and oooh so easy to walk in. Makes a casual date night seem a tad bit more special.

Ok. Well I’ve rambled way too long about clothes now. It always makes me feel a bit weird now a days to write a post strictly about what I am wearing. So to change it up a bit…

It’s 12:50am at the moment and the girls have been up a total of 5 times already. Lord beer me strength. I have to keep whispering to myself “this is just a stage. This is just a stage”. This is just a stage, right? Someone please give me a glimmer of hope that one day I will sleep through the night again without being woken up 100 times.

At least I can wear sunglasses to cover up the dark circles that are forming under my eye until that day arrives.

You know that movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back? haha. I feel like that could be the title for this outfit post. I will be honest and say I’ve felt really insecure in pictures since having Finley. Well, maybe insecure isn’t the right word. I just haven’t been comfortable in my own skin I guess. A bit of that had to with baby weight but it also had to do with just getting use to this new role of being a Mom of two. Over the last few weeks a bit more of the baby weight has come off finally, but more importantly I feel like we are hitting our stride around here. We are entering into that stage where things feel normal again. I don’t quite know how to explain it other than I am feeling good. I was really nervous about going to the conference and having to get all dressed up and be presentable all weekend long. I use to love stuff like that, but that’s just not my day to day anymore. I was afraid I was going to feel so out of place and uncomfortable. I packed my outfits hoping I would still like them when I got there, and decided to let go of all the negativity I was holding on to. I was going to be proud of the weight, shape, and look of my 2 baby body and I was going to own every outfit I brought. I decided I was just going to be happy. And you know what? Sometimes you just need a good kick in the pants (or change of attitude) and a reason to wear some super awesome heels to make you feel like yourself again.

I found this dress at Marshalls and fell in love. I decided to make it feel a little bit more youthful and modern by adding a sheer button up underneath it. Thanks to Lulu’s for sending me a killer necklace and heels to complete the outfit!

What a weekend! We got home yesterday from a super fun weekend away in Austin for the TxSC Conference. It is one of my favorite things we do every year! We ended up deciding to leave Finley. Kev and I had such a fantastic time together. Well worth all the stress I had leading up to leaving the girls (although, I wish I didn’t stress so much about it!). It was nice to get to dress up every day for a change. Hair done, dresses, makeup, jewelry, heels. I felt pretty good! I will be sharing some of my outfits over the next little bit. Here is what I wore on Saturday. The dress is a legit neon orange color- not sure why the pictures didn’t capture that. I LOVE the color of this dress!

Saturday was a lovely day with breakfast in the morning with Ruche (aww love Mara & Tieka), lunch in the afternoon with Kelsey and Eric, workshops and then some thrift store shopping. Funny Story. Some kid came up to Kev in Savers and told him he looked like Macklemore. Than walked away yelling “thrift shopping”. Haha. Awesome.
