Sunshine Pregnancy

On Sunday, in the midst of looking for a home and packing for our trip, I played on Polyvore. I know. A good way to waste a little time. The site is addicting, I have to admit that much. But I was thinking about outfits for our trip.



I came up with this one. It's so happy and summery. Pregnancy in summer, it's not the best. Take it from me. I've never been to good at planning these things out. In fact, we went to Florida in August 2005 for Linda and Gabe's wedding. Talk about crazy! It was hot, humid, I was pregnant with Sarita, and had to dress up. Why did I waddle around Disney World? I'll never know...

But we were packing for this trip. And I thought about bringing lots of versatile pieces. The weather had been nuts around here. Rainy and cold 1 day, triple digits the next. So I did a layered look. Very cute! We actually made it to Forever 21 during the week. And I wore a similar look yesterday. Loved it! And I love how they sell maternity clothes now.

So there you go. My maternity look. It went from the a day at the Zoo, a train ride, and aquarium included. Oh, and feeding the ducks. To us going out to a nice family dinner. And it was nice to have a few options. Because it was hot outside. But freezing indoors. Thank goodness for Polyvore! And for La Chiquitita's suggestions of places to visit! She is from a pretty amazing city. ~C

Polyvore

Today when Sarita was taking her nap, I decided to go explore Polyvore a bit. I've seen sets on La Chiquitita and Trina's blogs. And I thought it would be fun. You can find me here.

I made this set. Just a little inspiration. Because Juan and I are going on a dinner date with our friends before we head home. It's going to feel nice to finally get a little dressed up. And hang out with some adults. And not talk about hospital stuff.

I really liked this dress because it's so feminine. I remember seeing La Chiquitita wear a similar type outfit for Amelia and Riq's Rehearsal Dinner. So I decided to give it a try. Now I should probably go shopping. I have a tummy, but it's not a big preggers belly yet. So I think I can still get away with wearing "regular clothes." Just in larger sizes.



Do you ever use Polyvore? I just think it's fun. It gives you some ideas. Reminds me of play paper dolls as a girl. :) And then you know what you want when you go shopping. Because if you are like me, you are usually clueless. And let your daughter choose much of your clothes. Now, I need to go shopping! ~C
