Capes are not just for Batman!

Capes seem to be everywhere right now! I love them.  Luckily I already had this one from Dillard's a few seasons ago.  It is wool, a wintery fabric.  But, the shorter sleeves make it a nice piece for fall too I think.  I wore a bright green Express tee with a fun blow detail underneath.  My pants are black pin-striped from Express.  I wore leopard print Nine West pumps for a fun print accent.  For accessories I wore a Tiffany's silver ball necklace and silver earrings stamped with a cool black design.

Comfy in Leopard Prints

This top is a new purchase but actually not maternity wear. I am wondering what it will be like when don't have a big belly...I bought the size I would normally wear so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. It came with the necklace which is just a simple dark metal chain but it was nice to get something for free! I dared to wear two different leopard print items together but since the jeans are bootcut you can't really see my shoes so I'm not sure it counts :D

A bit blurry but here's a close up of the print of the top!

Textured stripes

The other day I wore a silk J. Crew striped tank with white pants with a subtle tan thin stripes.  I love the modern look of the painted stripes on the top.  For work I added an Antonio Melani suit jacket with white buttons and white stitching details.  I also wore nude pumps from Dillards.  For accessories I wore long J. Crew pearl and gold necklaces 

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me).

Here is this week's contender...Marcia Cross! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

So, what do you think? ♥

Finally Jeans That Fit!

I've been a little sad that I can't fit into any of my jeans anymore. I have searched lots of places for maternity ones but because I am pregnant AND short it hasn't been a very successful mission...until now! I picked up these lovely bootcut dark wash jeans at Debenhams and they are so comfy! The stretchy waist does go up a little high (covers my entire tummy) but they fit so well I overlooked that issue. For this outfit, I paired them with yet another top from Penneys. I've started working on Thursdays now so my week is getting fuller but it is nice to get out of the house while I still can!

Bow Tie detail

I've really been loving my J. Crew pleated silk skirt lately.  I did not mean to wear the same shoes, but for some reason the black and brown detail of my Cole Haan strappy shoes goes well with the colors int he skirt. The pattern is so fun.  I paired it with a T-Shirt with a Bow detail on it.  I think it looks kind of like a tie!  I wore a black Banana Republic blazer with the outfit at work.

Floral Frenzy

Penneys has provided me with some of my favourite items of clothing. Sometimes it can be frustrating to shop there because their sizing is not uniform..a size 8 might fit more like a size 10. The fitting room lines are usually rrrreeeaaalllyy long as well so this adds to the problem of wondering "even though I have what my size should be, will this fit properly?" before making a purchase. Luckily, they have a great return policy. I had to return this dress, go up a size and try on 2 different dresses in the same size before I got one that fit well. But for 13euros I'm not complaining. It is really comfy and colourful! The boots are also from Penneys and you may notice the price tag is still on them (25euros). That's because I'm debating whether or not to keep them. Hubby said they make him think of wrestling which I sort of agree with but they are flat and reasonably comfortable and I don't own a pair of lace up boots. What do you think, keep them or take them back?
