All remixed.

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.

Red Wedges Lace Design

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.”

Endnotes:

Just a casual Friday outfit for running errands and planning/getting together a wonderful and special event that will take place tomorrow in A’s backyard for a certain preggers someone and her certain lovely husband. I’m being very vague and nebulous and I’m sure you’re all confused and not at all catching on to what I’m talking about. ;)

As for the shoes (my last contribution to this week’s reader challenge) – these Palladium flats have served me very well! Like my pink ballet flats, these have also seen their fair share of the world and have been a trusty travel companion. From running through the Chicago airport last summer to make our overseas flight, to walking all over San Francisco, Salzburg, and many places in Romania – they have proven very dependable! I like that they are somewhat sporty and look great with jeans but also cute enough to work with skirts. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go dazzle Louie with my ability to throw and catch an apple…
