week 38 . the end {the beginning} is near!

We are closing in folks. At the present moment, the only room that can stay clean in the midst of our "to do list" is the nursery...so that's where we stopped quick to take pictures on our way out the door for yet another graduation party.

It was pouring rain outside, we've evaded the typical June in Seattle and have been thoroughly enjoying sunshine and 70 degrees...until yesterday, when we snapped these pictures.

I'm all about sale shopping and these maternity pants from gap were just the ticket. Under twenty bucks and a great post-pardum pant, I couldn't say no.

pants: gap maternity on sale (similar not on sale)

t: asos maternity (similar)

shoes: go to black wedge (similar)

earrings: gold tags

bracelets: own

I'm doing my best to utilize all the Lucia K. Jewelry I can before Kirsty moves south and we can't connect really quick over coffee in her front living room...where I usually give my two cents on the new pieces and hopefully "sample" a few in my daily life and buy a few to give to close friends for birthdays and the like. I know that she hasn't started grieving fully yet, but I have (I'm sure the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy has added to that grief exponentially.)

I'm not sure if this little guy is going to arrive early or late, but we'll keep you posted!

best!

week 37 . pregnancy stripes

I've been seriously missing in action, just growing this small (will probably end up being large) child. The weeks have slipped by and my outfits consist of leggings, a long tee and my hair pulled back...which has meant very unexciting pictures.

This week was different. Remember these pictures? Remember how I hoped to transition from cheap maternity dress for the early weeks to cheap tee for the later weeks. I am now at those later weeks...just in the home stretch.

I'm at the pregnant point where people stop and stare when I walk by or insist on commenting "is that baby come soon or what?!" Which I never know how to respond to because I'm not sure they are actually asking or if they are just stating the fact that I'm large. Either way, my response is usually, "I know right, I'm getting pretty big...any day now!"It's the best I can do to put on a smile and keep on walking...

I can't stay locked up in my house, I'll be doing that the first week (or more) of this kid's life just so I can catch enough zzzz's. Either way, my husband planned a date night last night (thank you!) and we headed out to a quiet dinner and a stroll along the waterfront. It was a great night...just warm enough without the long sleeve, sunsets, fro-yo and pictures to boot!

maxi skirt: GAP (non-maternity)

top: XXI

shoes: Seychelles 

earrings: Tag

Thanks for taking part of this journey with me (in part) I'll be back next week with another post, assuming I haven't gone in to labor :)

quick change {what i wore}

I happened upon this dress at a great consignment sale last weekend.  its an easy summer dress that I think I can dress up or down.  I was meeting two of my favorite friends for drinks and it was perfect to just throw it on and run out the door.

dress - consignment sale score!

shoes - frye

earrings - Lucia K. Chloe

linking up with pleated poppy for what i wore wednesday.

happy wednesday.

channeling my inner flower child just a little bit.

my inner flower child moment.  

might be the need for a side-braid to hide the unwashed hair.  

or these awesome new shoes I had been wanting and then they went on super sale!  

{like 60% off folks}

or all the flowers in bloom.  I felt a little festival-like today.  I don't know about you but I always love the free people style but never quite sure how, or where, to pull it off.  they always have oodles of lace.  sold.

so there is my turquoise racer tank bra and worn jeans.  my attempt!

tank - old

racer bra - queenannedispatch.com

jeans - Hudson

shoes - Faryl Robin

earrings - Lucia K. Copper Taylor

sunglasses - Marc by Marc Jacob
