My Little Black Dress

-

When I was pregnant with Kaylee, I did not purchase any maternity clothes at all! Here's a post I did of maternity fashion on some clothes I wore. I just didn't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that I would wear for short period of time. I would dig through my closet and wore whatever I could fit..or buy regular dresses that I know I can wear after having a baby.

My big little black H&M dress I wore throughout my pregnancy. I know you cant really tell, but my tummy was HUGE!


4 months after baby. Best $15 I spent EVER haha!


Baby K just recently turned 4 months. I have been taking a photo of her sitting in this white chair every month. See month 1-3 here. I got the idea from Making It Lovely.


Hope everyone had a great long weekend! Mine definitely went way too fast and I can use another 3 day weekend. Glad I have half day this coming Friday!

Our friend's mom watched Kaylee for us so we went to see Transformers 3 in 3D with our friends on Saturday night. I don't know what's worse..falling asleep half way down the movie or the fact that I was wearing my sunglasses by accident for a good 2 min. My friend sitting next to me was shocked that my 3D glasses was so stylish! haha #ineedtogetoutmore

    I love, love, love that little black dress. Its fabric and design seems soft, feminine and romantic. You looked great and very stylish when pregnant. I looked totally like a sea lion , all bloated lol. I think I only bought 3 maternity clothes and the rest I just bought regular clothes with loose fitting.

    Kaylee seems to be a little chubby now. Those chubby arms and legs...yum..yum.

    Adorable little baby. You don't look huge at all you look great. I on the other hand was, and wish I could go back to my normal size but I'm working on it.

    Hi! I'm a new follower & I LOVE this post! I can definitely relate. I'm at 30 weeks and thus far I've only had to buy 2 pairs of maternity jeans. Thankfully, my style is maternity friendly and I won't have to spend a ton of money on stuff that I won't use anymore once the pregnancy is through. You look great during and after pregnancy!

    Black truly is the "slimmest" color out there. You're so lucky you didn't gain a lot of weight on your face (one of my biggest fears, hahaha). Truly a versatile LBD, and I agree, best $ well spent!

    speaking of sunglasses at 3D flicks. i once threw my good ones in the 3D recycle bin after a show and the next sunny day rooted around in my bag to discover this brain stumble moment. a shopping sesh for newbies followed thereafter - baha! ♥

    H&M has the best little black dresses, I got one for my senior banquet there and wore it to about 5 weddings and a few showers too. I finally retired it last summer and haven't found another yet as nice & versitile.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
