    Thoughts on Thursday: Fall Clothing

    When I say need, I mean need in the first-world sense of the word. Last fall I was 3 months postpartum and I was just happy to be wearing something other than maternity clothes. Since then I’ve bought a few things here and there but I’m pretty burnt out on my current wardrobe. We’re still saving for our new house and a few trips we have planned so a full on shopping extravaganza isn’t in the cards. However, this weekend I plan on picking up a few things that I can mix into my closet. On the top of my list? Cardigans in all the great fall colors. I’ve been…

     If you’re reading this, I need your help.

I also don’t have a black bikini or cotton mini, but let’s face it, 3 months after having a baby is not the time to be adding these to my closet. What do you need to complete your classic essentials?

    F21 Haul

    By the time you’re reading this, J and I should just be landing in Italy.  While we’re gone, I’ve got a few scheduled posts so you don’t miss me too much. Have you all been into Forever 21 lately? While their clothes are always hit or miss for me, there’s usually at least one piece of jewelry that I have to have. During my bachelorette party we checked out the F21 on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. After scouring through the jewelry, these pieces just had to come home with me. I also found this cute little owl toothbrush holder at Francesa’s. What have you bought that you’re…
