Tweeded out

It's not against the rules to wear two colors of tweed together right?  I wore this Jones NY tweed dress with a purple tweed blazer I purchased at Plato's closet.  I added a black Express turtleneck and black tights to make it Nebraska appropriate!

Chambray

I am on a huge dress kick right now.  I'm pretty sure I haven't worn pants for at least a week now.  The other day I wore this J. Crew chambray dress, Express turtleneck sweater, and Premier necklaces.  This is actually just two necklaces.  I thought they looked pretty cool together. 

Boho

SHEA UPDATE:  All went well and baby was born.  I'm going to let her share more about it when she's ready :o).  

I have only embraced the "boho" look in the last year.  Bohemian means living without regard to conventional rules in one sense.  To me it means finding simplicity in life and appreciating the beauty in the world around us in little details.  The other day I wore this dress from Plato's Closet, a grey cardigan from Ross, black tights, a black turtleneck, and black leather boots.

In keeping with the "boho" theme I thought I would share a picture I took recently of a very tasty snow pea I was eating.  The light shone through it in such a lovely way! It is amazing to me the intricacy of even the simplest parts of our world.

Weekend look

On the weekends comfort is key.  I wish I could run around in leggings and shirts, but I'm just not that confident outside of my own house.  I purchased this Blu Heaven dress not long ago at Plato's closet.  I love the soft knit and the fun crochet back.  This will be great in the summer.  For now, it makes my legging look more appropriate ;).  I also wore it with a grey cardigan I purchased at Ross' in Ireland when I was there for Shea's wedding!

I apologize for the tired look...this was early in the morning.

Spinach-Tortellini Soup

In the winter time I love having soup for dinner.  It's especially great if it's homemade, and easy to make.  I used this recipe and had great results.  I used free range/organic chicken broth and frozen spinach that had been thawed out.  You just add diced tomatoes and pre-made tortellini.  I have had good results using the pre-made fancy Italian kind of pastas stuffed with cheese and sausage.  At Hy-Vee in Lincoln they had another brand, called V's.  It was frozen, but they turned out very well.  The soup was done in literally 30 minutes.  This one has now been written in my cookbook as a keeper!

Pink tweed

I purchased this Gap pink tweed suit way back in college on a Mock Trial trip.  Yay for outlet malls!  I wore it with a shawl collar creme sweater, black tights, and another Macy's purchase nude pumps by R2 with wee bows on them!

I took this by Holmes Lake here in Lincoln.  We have had some lovely weather lately.  It's so great to have a lot of green space in the middle of the city.

Basic Black with a Pop

This will be my last outfit post for a while. Today is my 'due date' but no sign of Baby T yet :( He is taking his time apparently! I am hoping that something will happen this week though so keep your fingers crossed for me. This dress is actually sleeveless but with the black top underneath it is hard to tell. The back is also open but I unfortunately didn't get a pic of that. I was tempted to wear my pjs out and about but couldn't in the end so I begrudgingly dressed up LoL!
