Dear Baby

Work Clothes/Play Clothes

Happy Wednesday sweet readers!

How’s the week going so far? I’m tickled it’s already Wednesday and we’re halfway through - we’re headed to the mountains of NC this weekend to enjoy the fall foliage and spend time with family. I’m already dreaming of log cabins and the smell of wood smoke and drinking hot cider!

Play Clothes- out to dinner with Brent. Eh. When I looked in the mirror after choosing this outfit, I felt great - but looking at this photo - Everything looks too loose and the proportions are wrong. (Also, note to husband/willing photograph: This filter on the Olympus PEN camera makes me look like a vampire)

Jacket - Minx Boutique in Asheville

Yellow top - Forever21

Wide leg jeans - a tiny boutique off Divisidero in San Francisco.

Play Clothes - NCSU football game. Go Pack! I realized while attempting to get dressed for the game that I wear very little of my Alma Mater’s signature red. The only thing I could find in my closet was a red belt! I’ve made a mental note to remedy that situation this fall - but this ensemble was really comfortable

Black and white wrap - c/o Francesca’s Collections. Here is a similar one in RED!

Red belt - Off a vintage dress

Gray tank - Target

Black jeans - Gap Skinny Maternity (demi band) - I know I should retire them, but the waist is low and stretchy and they are just so darn comfortable! They don’t look like maternity jeans so why should I give them up?

Sandals - Diba

Arlo’s baby sling: c/o Baba Sling

Play Clothes - House Hunting. I’ve been taking full advantage of the indian summer temperatures and going bare-legged for as long as possible. This look was feminine and comfortable.

Dress: c/o Megan Neilsen Designs

Peek-a-boo slip: Vintage

Oxfords: Bronx

Work Clothes. It was raining and Everly insisted that we open this umbrella and that I hold it on the porch. She’s becoming quite the little style assistant.

Cardigan: Forever21

Striped top: Forever21

Blue Skirt: c/o Francesca’s Collections Nova Skirt

Shoes: Qupid

Play Clothes - Easy like a Sunday…er, afternoon This is my kind of outfit. Comfortable, button down front for easy nursing access, and lightweight.

White crochet top: Forever21

Blue Tunic Tank: Francesca’s Collections

Black Jeggings: Zara

Wedge Sandals: Target

Also - A note on The Style Mentors. I just wanted to thank those of you who provided feedback on this endeavor - positive and constructive - this is truly a work in progress and we are completely open to making as many tweaks as necessary to make it the best fit for users. We heard you loud and clear that you wanted the style packages to be at a lower price point so we’ve updated them on the site. Based off your feedback, we’re also creating a photoshoot package, where for a reasonable price, we will put together complimentary (but not matchy matchy) outfits for your entire family based on the location and the vibe you’re going for.

Oh! and the randomly drawn winner of the style package I offered up last week is Blair Sheepers who wrote:

“Congrats on the new project. Can’t wait to check it out. We have booked a family photo shoot at a local farm next month. Would love to have something awesome for myself to wear. The baby and husband are sorted. It’s mom who needs help. Great at shopping for them. Terrible at shopping for myself.”

I’m really looking forward to picking out some awesome options for you to wear at your photo shoot, Blair!

Love,

M
