It’s that time of the month again! No, no, not that time of the month. Rather, the time of the month in which I pretend that I’m not a complete dork in front of the camera and Brian goes into photographer mode telling me how to stand and look. Despite the fact that I feel totally awkward being in pictures by myself (Where are my children? Aren’t they usually in photos with me? Ha!), I love participating in Brooke’s “How We Wore It” collabs. There’s no shopping involved, just sorting through my closet for a Pinterest inspired outfit. Which, until I cleaned it last weekend, my closet was just a pile of clothes on the floor a few feet high. No joke. I’m fairly certain it drove Brian crazzzzy, but he didn’t say anything. 😉 Anyway, this was our inspiration:
I was loving the loose shirt, ripped jeans, and heels, so that’s what I based my look on. Heels? Haven’t worn them in months! The only time I wear them nowadays is when I have Brian with me and he can carry the car seat or Addie girl. I tend to…be a little accident prone in heels. 😉 This white feminine top is my absolute favorite, especially when it comes to my postpartum body. I am working on being more confident in my postpartum-ness and being happy with the now. This quote hangs in our living room and it’s such a good reminder! Every once in awhile I catch myself thinking “I’ll be really happy when (fill in the blank)” and I quickly try to purge those thoughts as quickly as they came. Happiness is not a destination or an end goal. Happiness can be made now.

Pictures are so much easier with a baby in your arms! Love the embroidery work on that shirt 🙂
Such a cute top! I'm loving it!

You look like a million bucks with the jeans /heels combo. I love your heels.

Love this! Those jeans are smokin!
Jeans and heels are one of my favorite combos. I need to be more adventurous and wear it more often!
I love your top! I'd totally wear it!
How are you so cool!? I've totally been guilty of wearing heels just for pictures, but taking them off right when the camera goes away! Ha. It's why I'm not a fashion blogger – reason 1042!
So cute! Love the pics with u and da Hubby!!! <3 Love top!
you are a babe rocking those black heels 🙂
Love your whole look… Wish I could pull off bangs!
You look AWESOME!!
I completely love your shirt! It looks so pretty and comfortable! Thank goodness for husbands who take our pictures for us. 😉
you're adorable! how did you just have a baby? I love these posts. Their some of my favorites!
SUPER CUTE! I love this look!
You are the epitome of class, I don't know how you do it!
Well, you're adorable, as usual. I love your outfit and take on HWWI, you cutie pie.
i love everything about this! you look so great. i love heels but basically never wear them with jeans. this collab makes me want to a little more. i love that happiness quote. i try to avoid the i'll be happy when… but i catch myself doing it far too often. this is a good reminder to be happy right this very minute.
You are adorable! Where is your top from? I love it!
