I’m late getting this posted, but I finally have my iPad back. Blogging is much easier when I can use this sweet little piece of technology. Lyla has been using it for preschool stuff and watching Netflix. I decided that with my Christmas money I would buy Nate a Kindle Fire HD, so they can use that and I can have my iPad back to myself (at least mostly to myself)

It’s Friday people! Honestly, this was a very long week. I don’t have big plans for this weekend except for attending my cousin’s wedding on Sunday afternoon. Saturday, I plan on sleeping in and going about my day in as relaxed a way as I possibly can. This is my second to last weekend off, before, Nate and I are back to working opposite shifts on Saturdays. Double this with the fact that he works Sunday mornings also, weekends aren’t easy for us if we want to see each other at all.
What are you doing this weekend? For those of you who have gone back to school to teach or learn, or have children in school how have the first days gone? Have you fell into your stride and figured out schedules and such? I’ve been writing out my lesson plans for the first week of classes, and now I need to come up with choreography for combos too. I love my job!

How does one keep it fun when you are stuck at home most of the day? You let your four year old pick out your outfit. Lyla is a big fan of color! When she picked the tank top she told me “you need a little pink mom.” All together this is a comfy, end of summer outfit. Two thumbs up Lyla!

Color Blocking: Wearing two or more solid blocks of color in a single outfit.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well it is simple, yet it is a trend we have seen on NYFW’s runways again for spring/summer 2012. Now the reason it is popular, and mentioned as a trend is because color blocking is most commonly styled with bright colors. Often almost neon shades! That isn’t something for the faint of heart. However, you can still wear the color blocking trend by doing the simplest definition of the trend. Combine two solid block of color.
That is what I did for today’s outfit. I simply combined to solid block of color in the form of a shirt and a cardigan. However, I chose two colors that I don’t normally wear together for my color blocking outfit. Red and Purple. Because, it was cold out I decided to add a scarf and knee high socks with my oxfords. What do you think? What is your opinion of the color blocking trend?

Color blocking is featured as a way of dressing that can be very slimming. For the pregnant fashionista it can also be a very cute way of framing your little bump.
Wearing your button ups with a growing bump can be really tough. Most women have a tough time buttoning up their tops shortly after they get a positive pregnancy test. A cute way to style them during pregnancy is to tie them up as a crop top over your belly. Meggy did this while pattern mixing. Isn’t is a cute look? I wore this style with my husband’s button up, because, mine wouldn’t fit over my expanded chest line.
This is one of the joys of pregnancy. To quote this fashionista, “Getting to hike my skirts way up. This one was practically sitting right under my boobs.” I personally have made quite a few pieces work quite far into this pregnancy by hiking them up higher than normal. Once you can’t do this and can’t get it zipped; try a Bella Band and don’t tuck in your blouse.
