Monday I'm in Love


Dress & Tights: Modcloth (2012)
Cardi: Target (2009)
Hat & Scarf: Thrifted Vintage
Shoes: Seychelles








Hello and Happy Monday!


Pardon me here if I'm late to the game on this one, but these photos were taken nearly a month ago when the Mr. and I headed out for the evening on Valentine's day.  Wow, March is here already?!  Definitely no complaints on my end!

So as my tummy grows, I am really loving dresses that have a bit stretch with an a-line cut to them.  This particular one worked perfectly for me because all of a sudden the bump has emerged out of nowhere...hehe.   I'm not much for maternity clothing (though I will admit I picked up a couple pieces from Asos that were on sale), so finding dresses like this in my closet and babydoll ones at the thrift has been my mission lately.  I'm pretty darn determined to not spend a load on clothing that I will only be wearing for several months.  Fingers crossed.  We shall see where this adventure takes me :-)

Other than that - I made a pretty bangin (did I really just type that word?), banana bread this past weekend with dark chocolate and raspberries.  Just saying, because I'm craving it this very moment (no peanut butter and pickles for me.  I have a sweet tooth all the way!)  So that is all - must go cut myself a piece for breakfast.  I bid you a fantastic week darlings!  


Love Bunches,

  11. That banana bread sounds amazing! I definitely think you can make your closet work for you while you're pregnant, especially because you have so many great a line dresses. I really love the small touches on this outfit too. That scarf and the detail on your tights are downright adorable ♥

  12. I have no doubt that you'll look fantastic (and really cute) right until the arrival of this very special person who's on his way. And your banana bread sure sounds delicious.

  15. I love the way those tights match your scarf perfectly! They genuinely look like they were from one set. You look stunning here.

    That banana bread sounds incredible. I haven't had banana bread in such a long time and now I really fancy making some.

    Thank you you for your lovely comment on my blog. It makes me very happy. Sorry to hear you get the weird neighbours as well! Once an old lady opened her window to tell me I was 'crazy' 'standing out there in the cold'. It was supremely awkward. :) Maybe some people just can't stand the mystery.

  22. I love how this dress has a cute back collar too :) Those shoes are really awesome and even better paired with those tights. I'm a sweet tooth girl myself and I'm sure it would grow exponentially with a baby on the way- though I do love a good pickle now and then ;) Cute as ever Marisa!
