Cotton White Dress


(Below are links to similar pieces)

Sweater: American Eagle ($30.31)
Bracelets: (coral) Endless ($45), (turquoise) Ralph Lauren ($30)
Necklace: Ralph Lauren ($38)

My favourite thing to wear during the hot summer months is cotton.  This white cotton dress is from H&M and the sweater is from Smart-Set.  I accessorized with turquoise and coral jewellery to add some fun.  I only have basic neutral sandals but I’m in love with this summer’s cute coloured footwear.  Let me know which pair of sandals you think would go best with this outfit. :)

I bought this navy top from Winners during my first pregnancy and wanted to update it this time around with a bright pop of yellow.  Below you will find links to where you can buy similar pieces for your closet. :)

Black Maxi Dress



 A black maxi dress is so versatile (during and after pregnancy).  You can dress it up or down, wear it Spring through Fall, and most importantly it’s super comfy!  I found my dress second hand ($10) but below I have some links to look-a-likes.  I paired it with an old military green cropped jacket and a turquoise necklace for a pop of colour.  Pearl earrings (which I’m a huge fan of) and a silver cuff keep it simple.

SIDE NOTE: a jean jacket ($50.55 at American Eagle) would be super cute instead of the military style

Orange and Turquoise



Another Winners find inspired this look.  I found a blood orange 100% cotton a-line camisole by Press for $9.99.  I added a black belt and some turquoise jewels to punch it up.  My favourite dark jeans and a white cardigan finished this outfit off.

Cobalt Blue, Baby (on board)


 I’ve just entered into my second trimester and am beginning to show.  We’ve shared our exciting news with some family and friends but not everyone so I’m favoring loose fitting tops right now (to keep our secret a secret for a little longer).

This outfit started with an amazing find at my local Winners . . . a sheer cobalt blue flowy tank for $8.  I paired it with a black tank top, black blazer, my favorite maternity jeans, and pearls (for a pop of white).  Below you will see links to where you can find each article or something similar.  Thanks for reading :)
