What I Wore: Goddess of Thunder {Fifth Sun Giveaway}

DSCF4631

I’ve reached the point in my pregnancy where comfort is key. Although I don’t look as large and in charge as I feel – trust me, it’s hard to maneuver around these days (especially getting up from bed), so I appreciate a comfortable outfit. However, that doesn’t mean I need to compromise on style. What I’m loving lately are these great maternity leggings that were a hand-me-down from one of my good friends paired with a longer and roomier fandom tee or tank. I’m loving this floral Thor tee from Fifth Sun! It’s the perfect combination of girly and geeky that speaks to my little fangirl heart.

What I Wore: Earl Jeans Brunch

IMG_4623

A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to attend a blogger brunch hosted by the lovely Netty of The Fashionable ESQ. We’ve been friends since high school and although we don’t see each other all the time, we always make it a point to support each other and our endeavors, and I absolutely love that. Plus, we start exactly where we left off every time we spend time together, which is always the hallmark of a true friendship. She is working with Earl Jeans, and they were wonderful enough to send all attendees some great pieces to wear while Love is Blind provided the absolutely delicious eats and tasty cocktails (that I could not enjoy – wah).

Now entering my 7th month of pregnancy, I was thrilled that this embellished top fit, and complemented my new maternity jeans from Old Navy so well. It also felt great to rock a heel (in the form of a wedge) for the day after schlubbing it in sandals for so long. I decided to pair this look with some Doctor Who elements, which tied in perfectly with the dark blue tones. Overall, it felt nice to dress up and spend some girl time with favorites and make some new friends in the process.

Geek Chic Maternity

So you may be wondering how I continue to make geek chic work in my favor while now starting my 3rd trimester. Honestly, it’s all about choosing the right maternity wear paired with the right cuts from your own closet. I have officially entered the phase where my regular pants do not fit in the least, so I had to go ahead and do the inevitable: buy maternity. But! I come to you with the hard work done: which fit the best and are the most flattering without looking frumpy and granny.

I’ve moved on to another crop top maternity ensemble: the crop top over the maternity tank. I personally love this look because it’s so comfortable paired with the right jeans (Old Navy’s Rockstar maternity line is awesome). I absolutely adore my Adventure Time crop because it is so colorful and allows for you to play with brightly hued accessories, like my Oh My Glob necklace & hot pink glasses!

What I Wore: Chris Pratt Fangirl

I’m sure you have seen the hilarious fangirl tees that you can purchase on Look Human. I made fun of them at first because they seemed ridiculous, but you know what? They make me laugh and instantly make an outfit more lighthearted while still displaying your fandoms. Plus, they are definitely conversation starters. I like pairing them with something other than jeans to create a more kitschy and fun vibe. My bump had me repurpose this tutu midi skirt into a dress and I threw the tee over it. Adding the polka dot sneakers made it more whimsical, which is the look I wanted to go for and tend to go for on a daily basis. Plus, it makes it much more comfortable for these sensitive pregnant feet!

I have a huge crush on Chris Pratt that has only grown exponentially since becoming a total Parks & Rec fan. Add Guardians and Jurassic World to the mix, and I am beyond hooked. I don’t know if I want to make out with him or be his best friend, which signifies the perfect relationship, right? Call me, Chris (sorry hubs).

BabyMoon Essentials

Colorful-Baby-Moon-Angel-Graphic

So next week, the hubs and I will be embarking on a much deserved BabyMoon. What is that, you ask? Well, it’s a new trend where couples take a vacation during pregnancy – similar to a honeymoon. As my pregnancy progresses, I realized I hadn’t gone on vacation since right before I found out I was pregnant and I’m really needing one more than ever. My feet have grown sore and I’m pretty tired on a constant basis. The idea of just laying around being pampered by the sea sounds exactly like what I need right now.

We’ll be heading to The Florida Keys for 4 days to do exactly that. Now it’s not the easiest vacation to dress for since I’m expanding a little more these days, so I thought I’d help out other expectant moms and just travelers in general with some great beach essentials for those upcoming summer getaways.

Now this is an area that you can really play with even when pregnant. It may be difficult to find really cute and fun pieces to wear, but it’s a free for all when it comes to accessories! Since we are going the beach route, I wanted to make sure I had a little brightness and silliness. No one takes themselves too seriously on the beach – much less in The Keys.
