I LOVE coats

It's true. If I could have a whole closet dedicated to many many different kinds of coats I would. I never feel like I have the right coat for the right occasion. I love coats, but I don't buy many. I actually feel like I have too many now. But that's because I don't like many of them. The next coat I would like to buy, a trench coat. I have nothing good for the rain. So I would like a trench coat in tan, with buttons and a belt. Also preferably with a hood.

Fashion Saavy

This is definitely not me. But a couple of questions for those of you out there that are.

1. Can one wear socks with mary jane type shoes? If so, do they have to be the same color as the shoe?

2. I have a pair of black leggings. Can I wear black ankle boots with them?

Thanks for the fashion tips.

A few side notes. When shopping I am drawn to the same color of clothing. Are you? I usually have to consciously pick a different color in something and ask myself, "Will I really like and wear this color? Do I have things to go with it?"

Also, I've become a Project Runway fan. The drama can be a bit annoying sometimes, but sometimes it makes me laugh. Also, I never agree with the judges. Obviously they are in the fashion industry and I tend to like the things I think the average American in my neighborhood would wear.

New Clothes

I feel a little foolish posting this but I was so excited today to get the box of clothes I ordered in the mail. And it was too much fun trying everything on. I am happy to report only 1 out of 15 items doesn't' work. I think that's a pretty good score. So here's the fashion show.

Black leggings with a purple shirt (not maternity shirt). I am holding my leg weird to try to show that there is a little metal eyelet detail at the bottom. But you can't see it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these maternity gaucho pants in brown. I will live in these for the next 6 months (as long as I don't freeze). And a non-maternity hoodie shirt with a front pocket. I won't wear this very long for now.


Maternity khaki capris, very nice and non-maternity sweater, it's cut so long.

A maternity purple striped hoodie shirt with the khakis.

A green maternity shirt with the khakis.

Oh and one of my favorites. Gray leggings with a non-maternity knit dress with a cowl neck (which you can't see). Super fun. I never wear dresses b/c I never have reason to, but so fun.

I also bought some cardigan sweaters that are not pictured but should be versatile.

My next mission: shoes and boots! Wahoo!! Which I predict will be harder than the clothes. I can never find ones that fit and are comfortable. And I am all about comfort.

Hallelujah!!

Two weeks shy of Little Man's 1st Birthday and I can wear my pre-pregnancy capris. Yaahoo!!!
That's not me above.
