Wardrobe Staple

blazer and booties: target, jeans: f21, scarf: gift from mama

Target's clothing clearance section has sucked me in far too many times lately.  My last trip to target had me leaving the store with this black blazer along with a few other items.  Occasionally I regret my clearance purchases a few weeks later, but I think this blazer is going to be a new staple in my wardrobe.  And it was only $10!  Have you made any good (and cheap!) purchases lately?

Valentine

shirt: macy's, shoes/jacket: target, pants: h&m, pin: bando

How do you all feel about dressing for holidays? I used to hate holiday themed outfits, but within the last couple of years I've grown to love them.  I think my dream Valentine's outfit would have looked something like this or this and not so blue, but I didn't really have something to dress up for.  I did wear my bando pin to make my outfit a little more festive though. 

Jordan and I kept the day pretty low-key.  I really wanted PF Changs so we dressed up a little-nicer-than-usual and headed to the mall. When we got there the wait was supposed to be three and a half hours!! So crazy! I called around a few other places and the wait times seemed about the same. I guess that's what you get for not making reservations for Valentine's Day in Provo. We meandered the mall for about an hour and decided to check PF Changs again.  When Jordan asked how much longer our wait would be, the hostess was a little rude (thinking we were being impatient or something) but really we just wanted to know if the wait was actually going to be three and a half hours. We didn't imagine that everyone they talked to would wait around for food.  She must have felt bad for being rude and got us a table super quick! I guess it pays to be persistent.  Hope you all had a great Valentine's and are enjoying our spring weater!

Happy hump day! I hope you all are enjoying your short work weeks. I can't believe its Wednesday already!  Our mama flies in tomorrow to see Dunken, so my week is extra short since I'll be hanging out with them.

Love Day Date

shirt: target, jeans: h&m, shoes: forever young

I wore this outfit for my Valentine's date with my hubby for our first time out together (besides doctor's appointments) since the babe.  Dunken came along of course and enjoyed every minute of it asleep in his car seat.  He's a real party animal. :)  We went out to dinner with some friends who were in town and came home to celebrate a romantic evening while I took a bath and went to bed early and Jensen played video games.  Looks like we're party animals just like Dunken.

Goodbye Belly!

dress and sweater: target, boots: forever young

Hello there! Here's the last of my belly photos.  I still can't believe I'm a mom!  I'm sure it will take a while for this to sync in, but I am so excited for what my future holds.  And on a less serious note I'm so excited to have my clothes back!  Even though most of them don't quite fit yet, (hello big boobs! and squishy post baby belly) I still have a lot more options than before.  

I hope everyone out there getting snow storms this week are surviving and staying warm.  I'll be caved up in my house for the next little while in sweats cuddling my baby. :)

Dunken James

I have an exciting interruption to the normal outfit posts... a beautiful baby! Dunken James Paterson arrived a few weeks early last Wednesday and we could not be more excited.  He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and 20.5 inches long.  He's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen and I could not be more in love with my little boy.
