silk & chiffon.


Top: Thrifted / Skirt: asos.com / Shoes: Steve Madden via eBay
There seems to have been a bit of a belly explosion in these last few weeks of pregnancy, especially obvious when wearing fluffy tutus. Justin loved this skirt because it made me look suuuper preggers. And he loves that.

I on the other hand love grandma-esque clothing. When thrifting, I often find myself warring over finds with 70 year old women. This shirt: exhibit A - the long lace collar, and silky fabric make this top A+ grandma thrift material. And, after removing the two inch thick shoulder pads and unpicking an awkward tuck, it was perfect Heather material.

I've decided I'm not a huge fan of this whole, the world goes dark by 5:30 plan. Or the fact that its pretty much always cold and gray outside. Add to that how I've recently started on some medication for pcos that makes me often feel a little drowsy or a little sick and I feel like I've gone into hibernation mode. I get home, and it is already dark, and I'm ready to go to bed. 

I've finally turned into a grown up. 
Sort of.

It’s been a lovely day today, even though I haven’t been very productive. I did however make it to the gym! I usually go to power pump on Monday and Wednesdays, but we wanted to go to a friend’s house tonight, so I went earlier with Justin and Jeff. Jeff is Justin’s cousin, and he and his wife Emilee live next door to us! I’ll have to get some pictures of Em for you guys, she has such amazing style!


Anyhow, we had a bit of an adventure today at the gym; I had just finished my cardio, and had gone to lift some weights while the boys finished their workout, when this really beautiful girl walked into the window room (the big classroom with mirror and window walls) in clear high heels, and started walking around the room, stopping now and then to hit a pose. She was in amazing shape, but continued to lose progressively more and more clothing until she was just down to a bikini top and a pair of shorts. This normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but I do live in Orem, Utah, and it’s not really a normal thing to see when you’re at gold’s gym trying to get your workout on. 

Anyways, when she took her shorts off, revealing a truly itty bitty tiny weenie sequined bikini bottom, I was getting more and more confused, so I went to ask J&J (my cute nickname for Justin and Jeff) what was going on. They told me that it looked like she was practicing for a body builder competition, and asked me if I recognized her. It was at that point that I realized that she was the girl that Justin kind of sort of stopped going out with in order to go out with me! Serious right now. So serious. So I asked Justin “regretting your decision now?” and we all had a good laugh. Seriously though. How random is that?


So, this is a "Sunday" outfit I rocked this weekend. I actually designed the whole thing around the shoes. All items are again via eBay, and online steals! Isn’t that just the coolest? By the way, I just finished taking pictures for a post I’m planning on how to search successfully on eBay, so stay tuned for some serious eBay tutorials!

Have a lovely, booty rockin day!
