Color rut

I think I'm in another color rut!  Last week it was peaches and pinks, this week so far it's been white and blue.  And today I decided to add red accents even though the 4th of July is still a couple of days away.  I'm just channeling some patriotism early I guess!  I have a completely different and fun outfit planned for the 4th though, but I had to get some use out of this dress at some point, right?


I bought this at a tiny consignment shop near my house.  It's not my favorite place to shop, I feel she overcharges just a bit, but I wanted to see what she had for maternity.  There was one tiny little rack and I found this Motherhood brand dress.  It wasn't too expensive, so I decided it could live in my closet!  I think it'll be good for next summer too when I'm nursing, the buttons at the top do come undone.  And it's adjustable for weight going up and down.  Pretty good dress all around I'd say!

 Dress - Motherhood Maternity, consignment
Bag - Fun Sisters Nisswa
Necklace - Clothes Mentor
Earrings - swap w/CC
Sandals - Impo, from cousin


Speaking of feeling in a rut - this week is the longest, slowest, most pointless week of work for the entire summer.  Half of our staff is on vacation the entire week.  It is so hard when the holiday falls right smack in the middle of the week. Because of vacation time I have coming later this month and next month and then wanting to save time for when the baby comes, I am not taking any time this week.  So it's just going to be a very long week overall.  I am even coming in on Friday too.  Dedication right?

  1. What an adorable striped dress! I have a feeling this week is going to be slow for me too. I'll also be at work on Friday...I really wish the holiday fell on a Friday or a Monday instead.

  4. That is a cute dress! I can't believe how dead it is around here either. Everyone seems to have taken the full week off.

  5. I think it's a great dress and will take you pretty far into your pregnancy. Plus, who doesn't love stripes?? Today is my Friday and I am so happy to have a whole week off! Heather

  9. I always feel so guilty this week -- all of the US bloggers are getting all patriotic, and our country's celebration is over. In fact, I wore coral and zebra print yesterday for it, so I'm definitely not quite channeling the patriotism. Of course, we were helping friends move, so not entirely a patriotic celebration to dress for either!

  10. Color rut or no, you look cute as a button, as they say! Congrats on your upcoming baby. That is so sweet!

  11. I was just commenting on another blog how much I love Stripped Dresses especially Black+White ones and would love to add one more and a Navy+White, too. Yours is so cute & versatile for Nursing also. Loving your shoes as well. How far along are you now? Will you find out the baby's gender?

  12. I have no idea what I'll be wearing on the 4th. I'm spying all my fashion blogger friends (like you!) so I can steal their outfits. I love that striped dress!

  13. Such an adorable striped dress. I think you'll get a lot of use out of it. Good basic dress all around. It'll even look cute with tights, boots, and a sweater!
