OOTD - Pond Reflections Dress

I was so happy when the Pond Reflection Dress finally went on sale at Anthro last week. I was even happier when it arrived and the reviews held true - this dress definitley has a forgiving waist with the drawstring closure. I am in my usual size 0 and I think I can wear this for another month or two. On the other hand, I have the Sing Sweetly Party Dress lined up for Easter Sunday and I'm saying my prayers that it will still zip next week ;)

OOTD - Minty

Whoohoo for 80 degree temps today! I switched out the shoes from my Polyvore set so that I could break out a pair of open toe sandals instead. I was dissapointed that the BP. Berty was sold out in my size a few weeks back, but happily Nordstrom restocked them and I was able to snap them up. They are very comfortable and true to size.



In a Twinkling




When I came downstairs my husband asked "Where are you going today? To the prom?" Haha! I have already hit up the grocery store, and tonight I'll take my oldest to baseball practice but nothing glamorous on the agenda ;)

OOTD - brought to you by EA Trade Market!

When Anthro's New Arrivals fail to impress, what is a girl to do? Find goodies from past seasons for sale on Roxy's Trade Market, of course ;) I already own this cardi in the dark grey, and the blouse in the white Blue Book version - so I knew I'd be thrilled with my purchases, and putting both pieces together was icing on the cake!

My older boys started baseball last week, so I'll need to stick with casual outfits when I'm out on the muddy fields. Anthropologie Roaming Frills Cardi

OOTD - Nexus Top

It feels like time is standing still.

It still feels like Winter (snow is in the forcast for tomorrow!)


Our basement is still not completley finished (we are 99% of the way there)


I still don't know if this baby is a boy or girl (and won't for another month yet)


I still haven't cleaned my house for SIL's visit this weekend because I still have zero energy.

Wearing 3-31-11



At least I still fit into my regular clothing! I had a minor catastrophe with my Nexus Top this morning...it got stuck in my jacket zipper! I was in such a hurry, I had to just yank it out without much care. Thankfully, the already frayed edges on this top disguise the small area I ripped.

OOTD - Nothing New to Wear

The last few Anthro sales have been a big let down for me. I have my eye on a few pretty pieces, but I really want to hold out for markdowns since realistically, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to squeeze into non-maternity clothes. Here are the items I'm most tempted by at the moment
March Wishlist - Anthro
I think the flowy tops could be good transition pieces, and the dresses...well I'd be happy to wear them a couple of times and then save them for next Spring. Unfortunately, even if I bought these pieces today, it's not actually warm enough for short sleeves or bare legs. Sigh. It's another day in a sweater for me...

OOTD - The Gathering Tank

Apparently, all of your energy is supposed to return in the second trimester. I am just tapping my foot over here waiting for that to happen.

This week...
*I had an amazing ultrasound where the baby waved to me almost non-stop
*Then the nurse needed to take blood and missed my vein. Twice.
*I called about 5 different H&M's looking for the Hasbeen clogs


*I started to lose my patience when not one sales associate knew what I was talking about. They were supposed to be out on April 20th, I explained...and right about then a lightbulb went off in my head reminding me that this is the month of March.
*My son bruised a bone in his foot, which compelled me to take him to the dr. on his third day of limping, just to be *sure* it wasn't broken. And they of course needed an x-ray. Which they then called to tell me wasn't able to show anything one way or another. Helpful!
*On day four my son woke up with his foot feeling much, much better. So much in fact that he wanted to go to his tennis lesson that afternoon.
*So we did. Only his instuctor didn't show up.
*Yesterday I needed to buy a fruit tray for a teacher's luncheon at my oldest son's school. I signed up for a fruit tray because it was easy.
*I had to go to three different grocery stores to find one! Next time I'm sticking with paper products.
*My mom (babysitter!) went to Florida and my husband (relief worker!) went to Boston. At the same time.
*It snowed two days in a row. Happy Spring!
*NOTHING I wanted went on sale at Anthro.
*but some cute shoes did restock in my size at Nordstrom
*I'll end on that happy note ;)
