Ladylike CosmoPrep

So I went through my existing summer clothing to determine what fits and what is a wait until next year item. This Old Navy sundress was a happy surprise. The background is white and the design alternates between citron and chartruse. There is absolutely no stretch in it whatsoever, but it fits quite nicely (for now). I added my Crocs (errands) jewelry and fuchsia Old Navy cardigan and I was out the door. My hair is freshly washed so my usual sleeker style is out of the question.
I rather like this simple formula. My concern is I don't have any more sun dresses that will fit when this one gets too small, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

The title of this thread was lifted from my Alma Mater. It's the opening lines to the school song as I happen to be wearing school colors. I just realized yesterday was the anniversary of my college graduation many moons ago. 

I just happened to wear this outfit to an event yesterday afternoon. Afterward DH and I enjoyed a casual dinner out. (Yay! no cooking!) I really like the pops of red-orange against the white and blue. I also think the spectator-like caps at the toe of my shoes are a modern twist on a classic look.

I'm wearing:

• BR tipped sweater in navy and cream
• ON cami in red-orange
• LOFT bootcut maternity jeans
• Kenneth Cole tote in red-orange 
• Isabel Toledo for Payless kitten heels 

Happy Sunday! Thanks for looking

So I wore this yesterday while doing marathon grocery shopping yesterday. (I had been neglecting the much needed big trip for awhile). I knew I needed to be comfortable and for my own sanity somewhat stylish. You'll remember this tunic from last week. I thought it might bookend nicely with red. I had to wear closed-toed shoes yesterday as temps were in the low 50's and upper 40's. So these were selected more for their comfort and warmth than their ability to tie into this outfit.
Was this a worthy remix of the tunic?

I'm wearing:

• ON Maternity Tunic in navy and cream
• ON Rockstar red skinny jeans
• Zara deep red infinity scarf
• Puma ballet sneaker flats in charcoal

I did not show the rain coat I wore which was a light tan with a baby doll fit. I thought it was sufficiently neutral so as not to distract from the red and stripes.

I pulled this outfit together for this past Sunday when I went to the actual brick and mortar to populate my registry. DH we discovered has a soft spot for 'lil critters. If there was a cute chubby animal printed on it he wanted it for DD. I never thought that I would have to reign him in of all people especially on baby stuff. We went out for lunch and ice cream because we felt like we deserved it after a marathon decision making session.
I'm wearing:

• J Crew v-neck sweater in green
• ON maternity flutter sleeve woven top in navy/chartreuse/white 
• LOFT boot cut maternity jeans
• CROCS  in aqua (so that my feet would not give out!)  ;-)
• Liz Claiborne yellow tote
• Sassy Sunnies from Target in blue with cat eye shaped lenses

I took the forum's advice and added more color with my bag and sunglasses so that my shrinking universe of outfits didn't feel so small. No additional accessories because it was truly HOT that day. Happy Thusday! Thanks for looking.

Yesterday I had a client meeting and this is what I wore. I bought this dress in anticipation of a cruise 2.5 years ago. I picked it up from White House Black Market (WHBM). I have always loved the scroll print perhaps now I know why. The print is excellent camouflage for my belly. I did not want my condition to become the topic of conversation in this meeting and no one was the wiser until the end when my friend and colleague inquired about how I was coming along.
I really liked the bright orange bag paired with this. I'd contemplated switching to another bag but I thought the orange was a nice counter point to the blue stripes.
What about you? Anyone else out there formerly anti-print (who have since seen the light -- cue the angels singing ;-))?

This was a rather quiet week. I have been spending more time sleeping during the day and when I'm not sleeping I'm researching products for my registry. So I apologize for my absence from the forum.

So this week, I finally put away my turtlenecks and heavy sweaters and winter gear (yay!). I think this is the latest I have ever waited. I have also stored items I just can't wear and won't be wearing anytime soon. That leaves a small universe of items I wear again and again. (I've spared you the photos!) Perhaps I'm a little sad that my big fun wardrobe has shrunk so much and I have to work a lot harder to create looks that are me, fit my bump and other parts that have grown, and are weather appropriate.

In #1 I wore this yesterday. We got a nice sampling of summer-like weather. So I pulled out my favorite butterfly dress from ON and paired it with an ON boyfriend sweater in fuchsia. My flats are cobalt and fuchsia suede Enzo Angiolini. Not pictured is my orange tote I carried

In #2 I wore this ON tunic earlier this week. I believe Karie has a top with this exact print. I mixed it up a little by wearing a pair of gray/cream houndstooth flats with a big metallic bow at the toe. I am also wearing skinny jeans I picked up from target about 5 years ago (I can't believe they still zip! Then again I did buy them 3 sizes up.)

As always suggestions ( to lift me out of boredom with my wardrobe!) and feedback are welcomed. Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all!

So I don't think it's absolutely necessary for me to invest in a pair of white maternity jeans. Especially since I have a little over 3 months to go. Elizabeth P. did a great pinsperation this past week with white jeans and admittedly I was inspired to pull out my white jeans and see what I could possibly do with them to attempt a copy. I also think this is a great formula.

So none of what I'm wearing is maternity wear -- I'll be able to pull this out again (yay!) after the baby is born. I wore this on a date night adventure yesterday. We tried out a new restaurant -- the food was fabulous. It was actually in my old  neighborhood -- boy has it changed (for the better!). I am wearing:

• White Eddie Bauer wide-leg jeans
• Dark blue Old Navy chambray tunic
• Black Old Navy tank
• Vera Wang Ballet flats.

All feedback is welcomed and also suggestions for improvement.

This is a nifty formula I've picked up since joining the forum. It never fails and always looks appropriate: striped top, jeans and jacket. I've used this formula for business casual looks too. Of course different fits and fabrications will vary the look but this formula never gets old and always seems to work. I'm wearing:

• ON cream & black bateau tee
• ON maternity BF jeans
• H&M military jacket in olive (courtesy of DH's closet)
• Vera Wang python print ballet flats

Any other suggestions for no-fail formulas?

Now that the snow is gone (for now ;-)) I can wear some of the outfits I put together on Monday. I was thinking of spring flowers when I put this outfit together. I'm wearing:

• dark navy skinny jeans
• Elle black and cream striped tee with lace
• ON fuchsia cardigan
• Vera Wang Ballet flats

Thank you Krista for introducing me to design-seeds I would never have dreamed this outfit up without that inspiration!

This is my favorite dress. It's Old Navy and I've had it for the past 3 or 4 years. The last time I wore it and posted on the forum I revealed that I rarely wore the dress in any different way. I took some of your suggestions and came up with this. I am really happy this dress still fits (because I bought it so HUGE!). I think I will be able to wear it right up until delivery. The saving grace is this dress is fit and flare and lends itself to being cinched at the waist with a belt.

In #1 & #2 I'm wearing:

• ON butterfly printed dress
• ON denim jacket
• Mossimo woven belt 
• Vintage yellow and white striped scarf
• Vera Wang snake embossed ballet flats
• Kenneth Cole Reaction orange tote

Pic #3 is my normal way of wearing this dress - your thoughts and suggestions?
