EARRINGS: H&M

WEDGES: Sold out / Similar

Happy Thursday loves! It has been pouring ALL morning here in San Antonio; The perfect weather to get some blogging done! I found this dress at H&M last week for only $9.99, literally a STEAL! The material is the perfect thickness and the quality is amazing for the price. I’m 5 months pregnant, wearing a medium, and it fits perfect, which is awesome since it’s not a maternity dress! I seriously can not get over how amazing this dress is haha!

I’ve been looking for the perfect (affordable) tassel earrings for a while now, so when I spotted these on the way to check out at H&M, I got a little too excited lol. I love the color with the white beads and they are only $12.99! These earrings are perfect for the summer and dress up any outfit.

We had the balloons from our reveal party in the car, so I wanted us to take some pictures with the blue wall but we forgot our tripod! This was my first time using the giant gold balloons and boy, are they are to keep in order! The wind was not our friend. It was seriously so difficult to get the one perfect shot we did haha! Tyler felt baby Jack kick for the first time and it was seriously the most amazing moment. I told Ty I felt him kicking, so he put his hand on my belly and Jack kicked it really hard almost immediately. ❤

Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Rib Knit Dress with Pockets

NECKLACE: Kendra Scott

BLACK BOOTS: Charlotte Russe

TAUPE BOOTS: Sold out / Similar / Similar

We celebrated my brother’s birthday last night and I wore one of my new dresses from Dottie Couture. This dress is SO comfy and has one of my most favorite things… pockets! I absolutely love anything with pockets. I pictured 3 different ways you can wear this dress. Last night I wore it last with black boots and my black leather jacket because it was a little chilly! The taupe boots are from Charlotte Russe and I got them in-store not too long ago. I can’t find them on their website, but a store near you might still have them! 🙂

I’ve mentioned Dottie Couture in a couple of other posts, but seriously, this boutique is so awesome and I have to mention them again! I pretty much do the majority of my online shopping with them and have never once had a single hiccup. I even put the wrong shipping address on an order and they had it fixed within 5 minutes with a simple phone call. The girl on the phone was really sweet and super helpful too! I have moved a lot throughout the years so my shipping address is always changing. I have put the wrong address on a couple of different orders from other online stores and it was a HUGE hassle to track down and get my packages. It was nearly impossible to get in contact with some of these stores and the only point of contact was by email. Not a fun experience to say the least. Also, Dottie always has fast and free shipping within the U.S. and they always send tracking updates.

Here are a few of my favorite new arrivals from Dottie:

Happy Sunday and thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Mad for Plaid at The Pearl

DRESS: Sold out / Similar

VEST: Dottie Couture

BOOTS: Charlotte Russe

HAT: Charlotte Russe

BOOT SOCKS: Target

I am definitely mad for plaid this fall! After we shot this outfit, we decided to go check out the Pearl Brewery Farmer’s Market. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly suggest you do! It was our first time going and it was the perfect little day date. We assumed that because it is a farmer’s market, pets wouldn’t be allowed, but when we got there several people had their dogs. The market has a bunch of different vendors, live music, and delicious fresh food and drinks. I got a blueberry lemon filled coffee cake ring, as well as a freshly squeezed lemonade, and it was amazing. Tyler got a chicken florentine crepe that we split. It was a perfect, cool morning, but it started to heat up as noon approached so I decided not to wear the hat or vest.

The dress is sold out, but Dottie has a similar dress that comes with a belt AND it’s on sale! Who doesn’t love a sale?! The dress is originally $56 and is on sale for $30. They also just added a Similar dress and it is very cute! This vest is a must for your wardrobe. It is lined with faux fur and is seriously the softest! You can wear it with almost any outfit and is perfect to layer on those chilly days. The hat is another must for your wardrobe, as it adds statement to almost any outfit. Even if you think you can’t pull off hats, I would try this hat out. I have never personally been a hat person, but once you find the right hat and angle, you’ll fall in love. The boots are one of my favorites. I got them when Charlotte Russe was having an amazing sale: buy one pair of shoes, and get the second for $10. I got another pair of the same value, so I got these amazing boots for only 10 bucks!! They are also currently available online for $25. I highly recommend shopping at Charlotte Russe for your shoes. They always have amazing deals and adorable shoes. Currently all of their shoes are $25 or less! I like to wear boot socks with my “knee high boots” because my knees look a little funky and squished. The ones I’m wearing are currently on sale for less than $2, and are extremely soft and comfy.

Recently, I discovered one of the coolest apps called, “Poshmark” You can buy/sell/trade shoes, clothes, and accessories from all over and at discounted prices. It is seriously amazing! If you’re needing one last piece to complete an outfit on a budget or looking for a certain designer brand, but don’t want to pay designer price, this is the app for you! The dress I am wearing is Banana Republic and I got it for only $15 (originally $49.99), and it was in perfect condition. I have also made quit a bit of extra money selling old clothes I don’t wear anymore. More money to spend on more clothes while making more room in your closet; its a win win! You can also do even trades so you don’t have to spend a dime! Download and enjoy! 🙂
