Bumpin Bodycon

I definitely thought dressing my bump would be super easy. Especially because I majority of my pregnancy was in Fall/Winter. Give me a pair of leggings and an oversized sweater and we'll call it a day. However, I have to admit I have struggled a bit recently. The weather has been changing and my bump feels like it's growing by the day. 

My one go-to this whole time has been a bodycon dress. 

If you've followed me for a while you know that I have a love/hate relationship with bodycon dresses. Sometimes I love them. Sometimes I hate them. haha

I quickly learned though that they can be a pregnant girls best friend. 

I picked this one up from Target a couple months ago and figured it could grow with me. 

I styled it here for Spring with a leather jacket and some booties.

It would also be cute with a jean jacket and white sneakers or by itself with a pair of sandals.

I took my regular size medium and honestly, it's a little big. Will definitely last me these last 7 weeks!

Perfect Body-Con Dress (Part 2)

Happy Thursday! We are so close to the weekend y’all and I can’t wait!

 As promised today I am back with an outfit repeat! I last styled this dress in a totally casual/end of summer way. Today I decided to dress it up a bit more for a fall date night feel. This would be the perfect look for dinner with your guy, or drinks with your girlfriends on a Friday night. I think that’s why I love this dress so much… not only is it extremely flattering, but it’s also very versatile. (And under $60!!!) Another great date night look for when the temps really drop is pairing it with this leather jacket, and black OTK boots! Just in case two looks for the same dress wasn’t enough now you have a third idea!

This dress already came in a ton of different colors and I’m pretty sure they have come out with even more since the last time I posted.  There’s also a long sleeve version now that I totally have in my cart!  (I will probably pull the trigger this weekend on that one.)

Dress: Nordstrom (long sleeve version here) | Jacket: American Eagle old (other options here, here, here, here, here, & here) | Shoes: Lulus old (similar here) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in 01 Always Red

I hope you have enjoyed me showing you the same pieces styled a different way. Let me know in the comments below if this is something you would like to see more of.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. The weather has been PERFECT here this week, and is supposed to continue through the weekend!

Thank you for reading! It really means so much!

P.S. Check back Monday (yes you read that right!) and every single day next week for my guide to NYC!!

Bodycon

I want to start this post by saying I am not typically a bodycon dress kind of gal! I never even entertain the idea, no matter how cute they look. I know I will hate it once I put it on. I have wide hips and they are definitely my LEAST favorite body part. (Not complaining just saying.) So if anything accentuates this, its bodycon dresses.  Anyway, this one is too good. I saw it on the rack and thought “this might actually be slimming…I’ll give it a try.” And let me tell you, I am so glad I did. First of all, the ruching is amazing. It’s the only reason I was able to buy this dress. It hides everything and doesn’t make it super tight looking. I also love how soft the material is. It’s definitely a throw on and go, piece. It makes you look pulled together but, is so comfy. Lastly it comes in a ton of colors, which is always a plus in my book. As this means you can buy multiples.

I have been dressing it down for the last few weeks of summer, but stay tuned. In a few weeks, I will show you how to transition it into fall and dress it up a bit.

Dress: Nordstrom | Shoes: Steve Madden | Purse: Target old (similar here) | Necklace: Forever21 old (similar here, here, & here) | Sunnies: Nordstrom | Lipstick: MAC Cosmetics Amplified Lipstick in Blankety layered with MAC Cosmetics Lipglass in Snob | Watch: Apple Watch Series 1 Gold 42mm Face with Cocoa Band

I hope everyone has a great Friday Eve! I am looking forward to the long weekend and hopefully will get to start it a little early tomorrow.
