Outfit Of The Day: Minty Mama

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

As the weeks roll by it seems that comfort is key as of lately.  Even most of my maternity jeans sound unappealingly tight not to mention that the waist band is always folding over under my big belly.  Luckily, with warmer weather approaching I can probably get by on a lot of dresses and such. I’ll try to step up my game a bit next week. haha

We were in the Bay Area for an extended weekend celebrating the baby with a little shower. It was so visit my parents and see all our friends!My parents rule and they totally busted their butts to make an awesome shower. My mom planned and scheduled and decorated each detail and my dad slaved away cooking tons of yummy food (which was all devoured, even though he made extra!). We really loved our visit, even if it was short. We will be back in the bay in August for our close friends wedding and hopefully we will stay for a bit longer then (since we will be on maternity leave). We are already looking forward to it.

But for today I’m back at work and back to regularly scheduled outfit posts:

Outfit Of The Day: Crazy Pants Returns

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

Apparently I’m just gonna be wild all week. First it was pregnant profanities and now its wild leggings. I have been known to rock a wild legging (exhibit A) but a small part of me wondered if I was channeling Kim Kardashian’s couch dress incident in these pants! HaHa.

But like any pregnant lady, I love a good stretch pant. Not to mention these ones were $5.99 at Ross. And wild as they may be, I also think they are fun and Spring-y.

Floral Leggings: Ross ($5.99)

Shoes: Sperry Top Siders (via TJ Maxx) $29.
I was getting pretty upset with the fact that none of my shoes fit anymore and I popped into TJ Maxx to see what kind of cheap temporary options I could find. I had actually tried to check out a pair of Vans like this over the weekend. But when I asked to try them on I requested my pre-pregnancy size and there was no way these feet were fitting in there so I left defeated. Pre-pregnancy I usually wore like a 6.5 or 7…occasionally a 7.5. When I tried these on at TJ Maxx the toe might have fit for a size 7.5 but they felt tight and uncomfortable, so I ended up purchasing a size 8. Once I have the baby and the swelling goes down they will be too big for me, but right now they are just the right amount of roomy.

I thought this sweatshirt was hilarious and awesome. I didn’t think anything of the fact that I am pregnant and about to be a mom. When I showed John he was kinda of like “you cant wear that”. Not in a bossy way, but in a “I’m pretty sure that’s frowned upon” way. It had never occurred to me and I thought, “aww man, do I look like a dirt bag?” But this morning when I decided to wear it he said I looked cute. Plus, my hair covers most of it. It is repeated on the backside but its black ink on a black sweatshirt so it’s much more subtle.

The sweatshirt is from a web store called….SheInside. Yeah. Weirdest name ever. As you can imagine, not only based on copywright infringement but also on that name, it is not an American company. I was hesitant to buy from the site initially but after finding another blogger who had purchased from them before and seeing that they had free international shipping I decided to go for it.

Outfit:

Sweatshirt: She Inside ($28) – apparently no longer available. But here is a similar Comme des Garcons parody

Hat: Vans ($30) – John got this for me while we were out shopping on Mother’s Day weekend. He likes me in hats, but I don’t wear them all too often. I figure, if you are going to have a baseball hat, and you are not at a baseball game, this one is pretty fun.

Shorts: American Eagle (via TJ Maxx) – non maternity shorts, just several sizes larger than my pre-maternity size so they sit lower on the hips, below the belly.

Watch: Nixon – The Kensington ($175)

Earrings: Chanel

Shoes: unbleached Converse All Stars ($45)

Outfit Of The Day: Repeat Offender

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

You guys may have seen this dress a handful of times. (Like here and here) But unlike some Hollywood starlet, I don’t have a new dress for every day of the week (nor should I). Its a little bit harder to disguise this dress as something else (compared to my Black Liz Lange dress). But I love a stripe (maybe too much) and I think this dress is fun and I still feel good in it. So I will continue to rock it as many ways as possible with slight variations and accessory changes and hopefully its not old news for you all.

PS my friend mentioned today “you wear the converse a lot lately huh?”….um yeah, they are all that fit, aside from flip flops. Blurg. Right now my biggest issue is water retention and swelling but I think my feet might also be slightly bigger (although its hard to tell when nothing fits anyway). I realllly hope they don’t change in size after the baby. It would be so sad to have to retire so many of my beloved shoes.

Outfit Of The Day: L.A. Baby

Gaelyn • 1 Comment

Inspired by this non maternity look I spotted on Pinterest I thought it would be fun to pair a crop tank with a maxi. To be honest, this is the only crop top I own. I mean. I’m thiry years old. It’s kind of a wonder I own even one right? I used to wear this one over another tank pre-pregnancy and I thought it would be fun over the maxi today.

Outfit

Maxi: A GILT purchase
Embroidered L.A. Tank: Brandy Melville – full length version here

Denim Vest: Target (similar)

Shoes: Converse All Stars (unbleached) – This maxi is starting to get a little short thanks to the babe, so I actually think the converse look a little better than sandals with this one.

Watch: Nixon (The Kensington)

Bracelet: Target ($8)

Brass Arrow Earrings: These were a gift from John but I’m guessing etsy

Outfit Of the Day

Happy almost Friday everyone! What, that counts right? I can feel it, it’s coming, it’s just around the corner.

Hope everyone gets to do something fun for Mothers Day, if not for yourself than for your mother or someone elses mother!

Personally my mother lives in the Bay Area so I won’t see her. Luckily I will get to see her when we head that way next weekend for the baby shower her and my sister in laws are throwing for us!

This weekend however we will be spending the weekend with John’s mom. She lives in Carpinteria (a small beach town near Santa Barbara – we were married in the backyard!) I’m looking forward to the visit. We always have fun together and the weather is forecast to be pretty nice. Even though it’s just a short drive away from us, it feels like a little mini get away!  I’m gonna pack my pregnant lady bathing suit and hope that we will get a little beach time in as well (since she is less than a block away!)

Speaking of Mother’s Day. My own mother sent me the cutest card ever. I mean the fact that she thought to send me my first Mother’s Day card was sweet enough. If you follow my on instagram you may have seen photos. The card features a 50′s full skirted lady on the front. Her skirt is real fabric. When you open the card you find that the skirt is actually a keepsake handkerchief. How cute is that!?

It’s kind of weird to think of this as my first Mother’s Day. And while I don’t intend to be celebrated it is a sweet thought that people would tell me Happy Mother’s Day. It also puts a whole new perspective on the holiday and my own Mother. Anyhow, I’m a little early on all this Mother’s Day talk, but the weekend is on my mind!

Outfit

Blazer: Target ($29.99) I love the zipper detail on this jacket. It actually does zip off if I wanted to sport a crop jacket, but I’m not sure that’s a good look for a pregnant lady…maybe some other time. I also happened to be wearing stretch pants on my way to yoga when I tried this on and I felt like even in stretch pants it dressed it up and made it much more put together and I decided that was a good thing since I may be headed more and more in the direction of stretch pants all the time haha.

Satin/Sheer Stripe Top: A pre-pregnancy Old Navy item

Black Skinnies: Old Navy Maternity

Its really just gonna be these or flip flops from here on out I think guys! My little feeties are really getting swollen in this last trimester. Its common given all the extra blood flow and the huge baby is getting in the way of that flow, so it is starting to pool at my feet and ankles. :( Tuesday night it was so bad that my once skinny toes all seemed to be touching each other and the skin felt like it was being stretched to the max. John got me a giant bowl of ice water and instructed me to submerge my feet in it. I figured this was some sort of sports trick and I had no alternative idea so I went with it. It hurt like hell at first. I mean ice water on your feet is not pleasant to begin with. Then it felt like the cold had shocked all the blood to go elsewhere and I started getting shooting pains up my calves like all the blood was panicking to exit the feet! But once I removed them from the ice they actually did feel better and the swelling went down. I’ve also started adding lemon to the insane amounts of water I drink lately because I hear that can help as well. I’ve already been propping my feet up at work but now I am also trying to wiggle and stretch them more as well.

Lipstick: Kat Von D Backstage Bambi

Earrings: Kate Spade

PS I definitly had an ice cream sandwich treat at lunch and the baby is currently doing a happy dance.

Just came across this picture from The Marcy Stop and this color is killing me! Love it. My ombre color used to be more blonde but I axed it in the fall thinking I wanted darker hair for the season change. Doh! Now I really want this!
