Closet Raid.


I don't really condone theft, so let's actually call the stealing of my dad's tee: "Indefinite Borrowing." There. That sounds so much nicer, right?

I started wearing this shirt right after I found out I was pregnant with Tatum. It's super soft, flowy...just generally the most comfortable t-shirt ever. So it was especially perfect during that time! Sometime during the course of said pregnancy, I must've left it at its rightful owners house (darn!), because a couple of weeks ago when we were visiting back home I was looking for something to wear on the car ride back to Springfield, when I stumbled upon it in my dad's closet. Lucky me. 
And lucky dad that I didn't steal the other super cool vintage tee that I found...Oh, but I wanted to.

Fall Fashion Week, Day 3.

I'm super hoping I'll be able to sneak this post in to the link up just in the knick of time! As I'm writing this, I have yet to take my outfit photos, though. And Josh isn't home. So we'll see what happens! To save time, I figured I'd go ahead and write the post. : )

Today I was supposed to have a meeting with a restaurant downtown, for them to review my art and see if they would be interested in displaying pieces in their restaurant + selling them. We went to the restaurant, but there was no one there. Luckily it's only like a two minute drive from my house. (Which also means that Red Velvet, Decades, Wild Honey + some other cute shops are only two minutes from me! Who knew!) So, I didn't get an answer today. But instead of going back and possibly not meeting again, I told them I'd just email them photos. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon! Crossing my fingers that it is a style that they'll be interested in. 

Speaking of my art, I plan on re-opening my old Etsy shop soon. I'm excited! And I hope you will be, too. : )

{i'm holding Rilo in these pictures...not that you can tell.}

I'm also breaking my way into the world of cookie baking/decorating. I have no idea why. One night, I was browsing Pinterest, and I just had this overwhelming urge to start. I think it'll be really fun! If it's something I'm good at I might even try baking for parties and things. I'm basically into doing anything fun that can earn us some extra income!

I really liked this outfit. Yeah, it's pretty basic...BUT. It was super comfortable for me! And being pregnant, that's obviously really important. And I also liked that it was a way to break from my monotonous jeans routine. The skirt I'm wearing is actually a dress (maternity maxi!).
It actually wasn't very chilly today, but wearing the sweater made me feel a little more comfortable with the look. And I totally love the glittery, gold striped sweater. I think it'll be a pretty piece for around the holidays! : ) Lastly, how great is that clutch?

Also, I know I'm looking totally rough in these photos, but we took them after having basically the scariest night of our lives. So. Forgive me.

Be sure to let me know if you're participating! I want to see what you're wearing. : )

Oh, P.S. ! We totally found the cutest little kitten this evening! We were driving home and we drove past her on the sidewalk. I told Josh to go back. I ALWAYS think we see kittens. But it usually turns out to be something dumb...like, a weed. Or plastic bag. Or a styrofoam cup. (All of these things have actually happened. Please don't even ask about the time I thought a dirty window spot was a puppy.) But this time! It really was a little kitten. She is just precious. I'm pretty sure I'm naming her Rilo. Josh wouldn't let me use it for Tatum's middle name...so I will just use it for a pet.

Fall Fashion Week, Day Two.


Today has been a pretty lovely day! 

We went to church this morning and had a really nice time. We've only been to this church one other time so far, but I really enjoy going there and hope that it's a place we can set some roots in.

After church, I went to the mall to return some shirts I bought for Josh for Christmas. They were too small + he didn't like one of them. How do I know this? Oh, just because I suck at shopping early for Christmas. This is the SECOND time I have purchased him early gifts this year + ended up giving them to him, because I was too excited. 
I also bought a cute new coat, crochet headband/ear warmer, fingerless gloves, and a big, chunky scarf. Getting all prepped for colder weather! 

After shopping, we went out to dinner. Cici's Pizza. FANCY. It was fun, though! : ) While we were out eating I got a call inquiring about wedding photography. I'm hoping I'll be able to do it!
And tomorrow, I have a meeting with a restaurant downtown for them to review my art and see if they'd like to display any. Which means I will be a busy little painting bee tonight!


cardigan: Forever 21. /// dress: pacsun.

Don't mind the fact that my lower half didn't make an appearance. I'm not wearing pants. Just kidding! That'd be weird. But I'm wearing the same jeans I always wear. (I only have one pair. Whatever.) So I figured we would be fine without them in the photo today. If you miss them too much, I'm sure they'll be with us tomorrow.

I'm so excited that this dress fits! I didn't bother trying it on, which in retrospect was kind of dumb. But it fits! So I don't care. And how great is that chevron pattern cardigan? New favorite! 

Are you participating in FFW? Let me know!

Fall Fashion Week, Day One.


jacket: forever 21.
t-shirt: forever 21.
tank top: forever 21.
jeans: JCP, maternity.
shoes: forever 21.
owl coin purse: i've forgotten!

Holy walking Forever 21 ad! I went shopping there yesterday, so that's why. I wanted to take pictures with my Canon, but by the time I got around to doing outfit photos (let alone getting dressed), it was night time + I had been planning to do them outside. Hopefully the rest of the week I'll actually be on top of it + put my camera to some good use! 
I really wish I had for these pictures, though, because the t-shirt has really cute metallic striped detailing.  Oh, well!

My favorite part of the outfit is definitely my shoes. I just love them! I normally don't wear lace-ups or tennis shoes, but I couldn't pass these up. 

Are you participating in Emery Jo's Fall Fashion Week? This is my first time. If you're participating, be sure to let me know in the comments! I'd love to see what you're wearing. (In a totally non creepy way, of course.)
