Working Mom #OOTD

For those of you moms out there that work full-time, you know the challenge that comes along with kid-friendly-weekend-clothes versus work-week-professional {I hope I escaped the house without spit-up or mashed avocado on myself} clothes...right? For me, it's all about style and comfort...and wardrobe pieces that serve multiple purposes.

Here are some of my recent outfits of the day:

Glasses // Sweater-Similar // Pants c/o // Wedges // Handbag-Similar

Hat // Sweater-on sale for $22! // Skirt c/o // OTK Boots // Handbag-Similar

Both looks work great for work, and the second look with the hat is a good example of how I make it work for the weekend. Margaret M generously sent me the pants and skirt to try out and I am hooked!! The pants are SO comfortable! They are super stretchy but still structured...I am going to buy more they're that good! :) They come in two lengths, as do the skirts, so they're very versatile...and there are a ton of patterns too! Definitely check them out and follow along on Facebook and Instagram.

What are your go-to looks {and secrets!} as a working mom?!

Our Weekend in 3

This weekend started off pretty terrifically...I was announced publisher of the paper I've been working at for the last six years. // I celebrated my brother's fiance's bachelorette party. // And we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the park.

Being five months pregnant, I would say that it was a pretty good weekend overall! ;)

How was your weekend?

Target Haul

For me, going Target is a pretty special day trip. The closest Target is about 45 minutes away from where I live and therefore I always look forward to my excursions and try to make the most out of them. This past Saturday was one of those days and I wanted to share some of things I purchased!

This probably does not seem like a big deal, but I don't have a little weekend luggage bag that I can tow around with me. I always seem to be carrying a duffel bag around and that becomes a huge pain. So this little bag is the perfect solution...and I think the print is super fun and feminine.

Can I tell you how much I love these pumps? They are the perfect nude color...almost like a blush and they make your gams look like they are a million miles long. They have great padding on the inside and a decent sole on the bottom. This makes for a comfortable shoes-which is a definite perk from Target. Can't wait to wear these to work soon!

I have received several tips to try this new dry shampoo from Suave. It has a sweet lemon scent to it and for $2.74 a pop, it's a great value! I tried it out today and loved the results. We'll see how it goes from here!

And one other thing I purchased on this haul is actually from Bed, Bath & Beyond:

Pure Beech Jersey Knit sheets are hands down our most favorite sheets in the whole wide world! They are super soft and almost silky...but most importantly, they are just ultra comfortable. I would highly recommend checking these out!

Anyone else take a fun haul this weekend? Sometimes I feel like it's the little things in life!

{OOTD} Work Days

It's funny how it goes, but for me, there is a clear distinction between work and play...especially when it comes to fashion. While I tend to dress one way during the weekends (whether it be super casual or super fancy)...I like to have fun with my wardrobe during the week days...after all, we spend 40+ hours there a week! Here are some of my OOTD's during the work week:

I normally would NEVER...EVER wear this color yellow (or should I say "bronzed ochre?)...especially in a pencil skirt! But I was inspired by a fellow blogger Closet Chronicles and decided I just had to have it. And really, I never looked back. I love it.

Blouse: BB Dakota

Skirt: J.Crew

Watch: Michael Kors

Tights: Who Knows? They're basic black tights.

Pumps: Nine West

My second OOTD, is a casual Friday outfit:
