Stripes!

Apparently I'm in a striped mood this week.  Yesterday was a black and white striped shirt, today it's a black and white striped skirt.  It's also another "Pinspired" look that I figured I could duplicate rather easily even being pregnant.  Here is the pin.


And here is my take on the look.  In hindsight I wish I'd chosen a different necklace.  This shirt also looks a lot more red in the photos than it actually is.  It's much more of an orangy red when you see it in person.  Otherwise this is a nice comfy and summery outfit!


A little secret too - this was Monday's outfit.  My schedule is so goofy this week I knew I wouldn't be blogging outfits on the day they were worn.  And that's ok every now and then!  Also, this is another outfit made entirely of non-maternity pieces.  Yay for stretching out my own closet and yay for stretchy waistbands!

 Shirt - Gap, consignment
Skirt - Mossimo, Target
Shoes - Target
Necklace and bracelets - S&D


Today is my last working day this week before my cabin weekend.  I get the feeling it could be rather hectic, so I'm glad this was planned ahead of time!

I also have to share a picture of my mosaic from last night - the class was a lot of fun!  I still need to grout it after the glue dries, but here is the general idea - I made a mirror for the baby's room.

  1. That a super cute outfit! I LOVE your sandals!! The mirror turned out really cool! I'm sure it's going to look neat in the baby's room.

  2. I am seriously not sure how I survived before Pinterest. It makes getting dressed so much easier if you aren't feeling like thinking. This re-creation turned out great! Love the way your mosaic turned out too and will be special for the baby.

  3. I love that you get ideas from Pinterest all of the time, that is something I need to keep in mind! A longer necklace would have been cute, but the one you have does not look half-bad! I love the frame, how sweet to have something hand-made for the baby!

  4. Lurv your take on this pinterest outfit! Your skirt is awesome. I want one! And I think a more solid statement necklace would have rocked the outfit. But the one you have on is NOT a bad thing. :-) LURV the mirror! Can't wait to see the completed work!

  5. Your re-creation of the Pinterest outfit came out so cute! I have a similar striped skirt so I'll have to try pairing it with a red top. :)

    Your mosaic mirror came out awesome! Love that it's for the baby's room!

  13. I love the inspiration look and I love this look on you! You did an awesome job recreating it. You look super cute! (P.S. I almost never post outfits on the day I wear them! Oops!)

  14. Cute outfit, Beth. I love the red with the stripes.
    I never get my outfits posted on the actual day I wear them. They're always, at the very least, a day behind. I don't worry about it. :)

  15. This is a totally cute look! I love the striped skirt and bright shirt. Awesome job on the mirror! What a fun piece to make. My mom once made something like that out of found glass.
