I'm 37 weeks pregnant now and today's outfit is one of the last of my dresses that still fits and is comfy to wear. It's a vintage striped sun dress with little clear buttons on the straps. I picked it up at an estate sale last summer and I really love it, especially during St. Louis' 100 degree summer days. I think I may replace the clear buttons with red or blue ones and add some fun rick-rack or other trim to it at a later date.
My little lobster pin is one of my favorite, new silly accessories. I found him at an antique mall for $1. The dish that he was sitting in had a matching lobster pin in it so I bought them both. My little "love lobsters" are named Sally and Pete.
It's been a long time since I've had the energy and desire to do something fun with my hair so today, I did some asymmetrical victory rolls. I had some fly-aways here and there but hey, I'm out of practice! I'm also in the process of crocheting all new snoods for myself. I love the way a handmade snood stays put without a bazillion pins and it doesn't sag over time like these yucky cheap ones. Waiting for Rhys to arrive has given me a LOT of time to keep my hands busy with my hook and yarn.
Baby Update: yesterday afternoon, I went to the hospital with contractions. They were regular and going pretty good for about 2 hours when they suddenly stopped! After an exam and being hooked up to the monitors for a few hours, they sent me home. Aww, bummer! Oh, well- it just means that my little bun gets to bake a bit longer! :)

You look absolutely wonderful. Adorable, even! I'm quite impressed that you can manage to be so very cute and so very pregnant at the same time, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit, you look so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI adore that LoBsTeR pin.. I think I just have a thing for living water creatures with claws. lol
You look really beautiful! I envy you, when I was in that week of gestation I looked like a barrel full to bursting, swollen face, swollen feet nothing feminine .... you look soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteYou look great and I love your hair.I agree about the snoods,I have some and i think the elastic is to tight in them.They don't want to stretch enough.That dress is so cute and love the lobster pin.I also love your shoes.they look really comfy.xx
ReplyDeleteYou look super fab as always! I adore your lobster pin! Too cute! Your hair is amazing too! Now that mine is growing out, I can do better rolls. I cannot wait til it's even longer so I can do proper up-dos.
ReplyDeleteAgain, you look lovely! Kudos to you for making pregnancy look so chic!
What a beautiful pregnant woman you are! When I was pregnant, I could hardly put on lipstick and wanted to hide from the world. It looks like you have been taking very good care of yourself and you won't have much baby weight after, either. Lucky!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you look fantastic! The whole outfit is feminine and chic - this is maternity wear chic. I know one of my firends who will be so excited to see some of your outfit posts :). I just found your blog on IFB today (I started my own blog yesterday) and came to check it out. Congrats on the new baby too!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
