Date Night Style + A Link-Up

Date night can look different for everyone - this is my romantic take on a date night look! I styled a romper from Pitaya (they have such great options!) and I love the simple grey with the leopard wedge! What's your idea of a perfect date night? I really like going to dinner, or walking around beautifully lit downtown areas. However, don't get me wrong - PJ's, popcorn, and a movie is also an amazing date night ;)

10 Sweaters to Last You Through Winter + a Link-Up

This cold season has been great for me and my evolving mom style. I've learned that two things help make an outfit complete for me when it comes to cold weather. Comfy leggings (love these $14 ones from Boutique Amore) and an oversized sweater. You can pair these with ANYTHING. A pom-pom beanie and OTK boots, or some booties and a floppy hat like I did here. The possibilities are truly endless. Because it's likely going to be pretty cold for a few more months I've rounded up my favorite oversized sweaters to last you the rest of the winter months!

Guide to Formal Dresses for the Nursing or Pregnant Mom + A Link-Up

Are you a nursing mama? Maybe you're expecting? Then this post is for you! I had THE hardest time finding a cute (aka non-frumpy) formal dress for the few weddings and other events I've been to recently! I have totally been wanting to share these finds for a while! This sequin dress is absolutely divine and comes in three colors. I think you'll like the other options I've linked below too because not everyone is big on full body sequins, haha.

NURSING: ACCESSIBILITY IS KEY

When choosing a dress or any outfit for nursing, the key is accessibility. I've learned that you really have to get creative if you're opting for something that's non-maternity specific (which I try to do). If you have straps, you can easily pull them down, of if there's a plunge neckline you can just whip your boob out through the middle. I've honestly done it all. My favorite is the strapless because you just pul it down! 

PREGNANCY: WAISTLINE IS EVERYTHING

If you're pregnant - you can definitely find dresses that are non-maternity, it's all about the waistline! It must hit right above your boobs so there's room for baby or you can opt for a body-con dress if you're brave! It's the one time you get to confidently show off that belly bump! Pregnant bodies are simply beautiful; embrace them!

MY OUTFIT: Pink Blush dress c/o (comes in 3 colors)

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES:

1. IVORY FLORAL WRAP DRESS

2. SEQUIN FLOOR-LENGTH EVENING GOWN

3. VELVET MAXI DRESS

4. BLUSH PLUNGE NECK CHIFFON MAXI DRESS

5. CAP-SLEEVE EVENING GOWN

6. SLEEVELESS V-NECK MAXI FORMAL DRESS

7. 3/4 SLEEVE MAXI DRESS

8. STRIPE STRAPLESS MAXI DRESS

Mommy & Me Winter Layers + A Link-Up

I am stoked to be sharing this $27 sweater with you. It is so cozy and I love that G has one to match! They aren't from the same store but they are almost identical! These jeans have literally been worn non-stop since I got them too. I can't believe the price of them, honestly! I am definitely warming up to sweaters this year though. In years past I've felt that my shoulders were too bulky to wear chunky knits but ever since I started eating a plant-based diet my arms really have gone down a ton. I'm thankful.

MY OUTFIT: Sweater (only $28) | Pants (only $59 and an amazing deal - they're seriously my favorite) 

G'S OUTFIT: Top ($9 available in white!) | Pants ($6)
