I have to say that I am really loving being a stay-at-home-mom right now.  It’s so great being available all the time for my kids and not having to worry about my maternity leave ending soon.  It wasn’t an easy adjustment for me at first.  I really loved being a working mom too. There are some days where I really miss starting my morning early and heading to work.  I loved being a preschool teacher.  I loved the kids, I loved my co-workers, but most of all I loved planning out my work outfits.  Call me crazy, but I loved planning out what I was going to wear for the workweek.  I’d plan out my outfits for the week in advance.  I’d always try to mix and match my clothes the best I could and wear something new each day.  I always felt that when you are working with the same people every day, you start to learn their wardrobe.  That’s why I always tried to wear something a little different each day.Read more

3 ways to style leopard paper bag shorts
I have a friend who is always giving me great content for my blog.  She often will text me when she needs help picking out an outfit for something, whether it be for church or vacation.  Recently, she texted me to ask what you would wear out for dinner with a friend as an adult.  Haha, we are not used to going out with friends, so sometimes you just get stumped.  I thought about it, and I feel that a pair of paper bag shorts are perfect for a summer dinner date out with a friend.  You can dress them down or dress them up.  These types of shorts are my favorite shorts for summer by far!Read more

Postpartum Summer Outfits

Postpartum nursing-friendly summer outfits
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything fashion-related posts on here, so I figured today I’d share a few of my favorite postpartum summer outfits.  I completely forgot how busy life can get with a newborn.  They eat and poop around the clock.  Add a busy 4-year-old to the mix and your outfits get put on hold.  That’s why I’ve been pretty much rotated through the same outfits over the last month or so.  I’ve mostly just been wearing rompers and jumpsuits every day.  I love them because they are cute, comfortable, and effortless.  They take no thought to throw on with a pair of sandals and you can call it a day.  I’ve also been loving anything with buttons and pockets.  Buttons are perfect for nursing and the pockets are great for putting pacifiers and other necessities that I don’t have enough hands to carry with a baby in them.
