Pregnant in Peplum

I feel like peplum has made a triumphant return and being a little more than 4 months pregnant means I have no qualms with this situation ;) I remember how popular the style was in 2013-ish because multiple of my friends wore peplum to my bridal showers and Lisa and I each had peplum tanks that we wore relentlessly.

I don’t know that it ever actually went away but I really like some of the new ways I’m seeing it styled throughout retail outlets and via other bloggers. There are so many cute styles, whether it's stripes, polka dots, short sleeves, tank top, long in length or cropped and I will admit, I want them all! A little extra ruffled material around the waist is not only fun and feminine but perfect for a rapidly-growing bump and my maternity collection...it seems to be happening overnight, guys! I think I need a few more of these babies (clothing, not humans that is…let’s just start with one of those for now!)

Everything is Coming Up Roses

I swear, the sun comes out for 5 minutes during a Midwest February and everyone loses their mind. Me included, since this particular day was still pretty chilly but I couldn't wait a second longer to have bare legs, if only for a few moments. I grabbed my husband for a quick stroll in our downtown while might I add, happily bouncing along in my carnation printed shoes. I'm a true sneaker fan at heart anyway but I specifically love these because I don't own anything else like them and they're such a fun, Spring style. Not to mention, by pairing them with this rose embroidered utility jacket, I feel like I was sending a subtle message to my husband about Valentine's Day. If we're being honest, I'm more of a peony gal but I promise not to be picky ;)

In addition to sneakers, you guys know where I stand on stripes (or if you don't, you can find a little background info here, here and here). Hint, we're in love. In fact, I've actually worn a very similar outfit before which is perfect proof that I can't stay away from the stripes & army green combination. This dress is going to be on heavy rotation for Spring because while it's long sleeves, it's not too heavy and it has a pocket, so need I say more? Plus, I think there's some room for baby to grow so I hope to get a lot of use out of it!
