Dressing the Bump: Week 24

Week 24 is just about over people, this is not a drill. I had a moment this week where everything became really real for me and suddenly the reality of having another baby just hit me right in the heart. Like, all aspects not just the sweet cuddles, but all of the bits and pieces. Good, difficult, sweet, and emotional. It really got me thinking about perspective. Perspective can change everything. Sometimes all we need is a different view to see the beauty in something. I once heard life compared to a tapestry and it kind of made everything make sense to me. Okay bear with me here, I know it doesn’t sound very relevant, but have you ever seen a tapestry being made? It’s a delicate and painstaking process and requires attention to detail and skill. Even one tiny piece out of place can disrupt the complex and intricate design.

Dressing the Bump: Week 23

Week23-2

Okay, so I’m sneaking this post in by the skin of my teeth, but I’m still technically 23 weeks so I’m calling it a win. I’m just over here trying to not die of heatstroke in 100 degree weather. This whole being pregnant in the summer thing is not my favorite. I can barely step outside without feeling like I have to sit down or drink a gallon of ice water. In more exciting news I did have a doctor’s appointment this week and I was told that I’m measuring at about 25 weeks, which was no surprise since Elouise was a whopping 9lbs 4oz. My husband and I are just not destined to have small babies.

My Top 50 Under $50 during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Screen Shot 2016-07-19 at 1.43.41 PM

Shopping during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has been sort of like a family tradition for as long as I can remember. In fact, shopping at Nordstrom in general is kind of like a requirement as a right of passage, with a Honey Almond Latte from their eBar in hand of course. Right now is like the sale of all sales, and I honestly wait for it all year and get the best deals. Early access is happening now for card holders and will be open for everyone else on July 22nd. These prices are too good to pass up though, so if you don’t want to miss out on that perfect pair of distressed denim or your favorite nail polish, sign up for a card here. They offer debit and credit options and Nordstrom is known for incredible customer service, think hassle free returns, free shipping, and friendly sales people.

Since I love a good deal, and right now with baby number two on the way I am on a super strict budget, I rounded up my 50 favorite pieces for under $50 on sale right now. These are all for mama, because sometimes you just gotta treat yourself. Just click the photos to shop the look!
