Man, some Mondays are just such a challenge in the mornings! I look at how I struggle now and then I go, how am I going to manage with a newborn in a few months! The answer is simple really, I need to be less lazy at night and get things ready the night before hand. I think I'll figure that out one of these days! Anyway, I'm here and I guess that's all that matters for the moment! And it's Inspiration Monday with two birds! Today's model is Kate Beckinsale in some super fun patterned pants.
Sadly, I have no fun patterned maternity pants. And it's also going to be in the low 80's again today because summer just can't let go even if it's October tomorrow. So I opted for a skirt instead. And more of a tuxedo jacket than a moto jacket. It's a "if you blink" type inspired outfit today!
Jacket - Mossimo, Target
Shirt - White House, Black Market, from cousin
Skirt - Mossimo, Target
Necklace - Clothes Mentor
Shoes - DSW
I gotta say, I'm kind of impressed by my 6 1/2 almost 7 month pregnant self still wearing non-maternity items sometimes! Again, hooray for stretchy bands!
Did you all have good weekends? We had some rain on Saturday, but I did a little shopping with my mom. The weather cleared just in time for our very good friend's housewarming party in the evening and we were able to sit outside and enjoy a bonfire. Sunday was absolutely gorgeous outside, so the Pants Monkey and I took advantage of the weather and visited our local zoo for a bit. It was crazy to think the next time we go there we could have our baby boy in tow. I can't wait to introduce him to our zoo, it's such a wonderful gem in the middle of our city.
And that's about it. I'm off to face Monday armed with coffee and a positive attitude. I can turn this hectic morning around! Head on over to two birds and check out the other Inspiration Monday looks!
I love that outfit! So cute! Glad to hear you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh the zoo is always so great because you can never have the same visit twice! We took the baby there about a month ago and she slept through the whole thing, but I had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat striped skirt is so cute on you! I try to do whatever I can at night too...saves me so much time in the morning.

Super cute skirt! I like your take on Kate's look. Mondays are pretty rough no matter how much planning you put into it. I will say that it does pay off to prep the night before. The #1 priority for me is to have that coffee pot set on auto brew :)

ReplyDeletewhat a fun look! i love the striped skirt. i'm glad you had a good weekend! also, you just get used to rushing around in the mornings...and people give you more leway when you have a baby ;)
