Red wedges: Naturalizers, via DSW
Turquoise necklace as bracelet: Target

End Notes:

There are some clothing combinations that have become classics for a reason. It’s hard to go wrong, for example, with a white tee, dark denim, and a pop of red. With this simple of an outfit it’s the little details that keep things interesting: the turquoise bracelet (actually a necklace doubled over!), the stitching on the red wedges, and the lace print on the t-shirt.

I do love this lace tee and it has served me well throughout the pregnancy (here I am wearing it at 20 weeks, 25 weeks, and 30 weeks!). It reminds me a little bit of a t-shirt I had as a little girl, one with a silk screened tuxedo ruffle and suspenders in turquoise and magenta emblazoned on the front. I’m pretty sure that I loved it. A quick browse through Etsy just confirmed that such wardrobe innovation was not limited to the 1980s and, indeed, in a few weeks I will have to decide whether such attached accessories will be appropriate for my son or daughter.

After looking at these utterly adorable onesies from Sam and Coop, I think I’m going to go with “yes.”

I love how this top takes the plain white tee and makes it something special. Great outfit and classic combination.

I’ve loved seeing how many ways you rock those red wedges. They’re darling, but I would never have expected them to be so versatile!

Great look today! And those baby tops are too adorable!

p.s. I got a chuckle out of your post title today because I listed a ring on my Etsy shop today with the exact same title.

[...] a little guilty since this is, in many ways, just a pants version of an outfit I wore a week ago: a white top with a built-in accessory and dark denim on the bottom. But I’ve been waiting for a good opportunity to wear this top and yesterday’s fairly [...]
