Black, White, and Pumpkin Spice...

Happy Wednesday Snow Day my loves. 

I hope you all are enjoying some much needed time off to relax and take in the beautiful scenery outside.  My area rarely ever gets snow-especially not in January- so this is somewhat of a big deal for us.  I believe the last time we had weather like this it was in the middle of March. Crazy, right!?

Today I want to share with you one of my maternity outfits that I intended to post before the baby got here. Time obviously got the best of me as I was busy nesting and doing baby related chores.


Since I didn't really get a noticeable baby bump until late (about 7 months)in my pregnancy this outfit will look great on a non expectant woman as well.


My Mother gave me this wonderful striped blouse as a birthday gift and I knew immediately that I wanted to pair it with a bold color.


If you're a new visitor, each Tuesday I highlight one trend and come up with an inspiration board containing 3 different styling ideas in my Trendy Tuesday posts. My outfit post for the week usually pertains to the highlighted trend-giving you a chance to see a real life budget friendly version of that trend. View this week's post to see the styling ideas I came up with for the black and white trend.


These bold leggings worked perfectly to bring out the classic black and white pallette. They were found on the red line clearance rack at NY&Co, one of my favorite retailers. I can't wait to style them this Spring.


The elastic waistband made for a comfy belly too!

I'm all about some layers so I figured I would top this fit off with my thrifted Zara corduroy blazer.  The elbow patches had me at hello. This piece is such a staple in my closet.



All in all this may have been one of my favorite maternity outfits-it was super comfy and stylish, and best of all it cost me less than $25.

What are some of your favorite budget pieces from your closet?

I can't wait to hear from you. 

Thanks for reading. 
XOXOXOXO

Trendy Tuesday: Black and White

Happy Tuesday my loves.

I hope everyone's day is off to a great start!

I'm so excited to bring you another installment of Trendy Tuesday. It's my favorite blog day of the week because I get to share my creative visions with all of you. I really have a great time creating these little collages so I could only hope that you enjoy seeing them as well

I will admit that I wasn't totally convinced about this weeks' trend when Beyonce donned this black and white colorblock jumpsuit at the Grammy's.

However, upon careful review, I've digressed my aformentioned opinion.

I mean, look how crisp and clean these lines are.


Quiz black white dress, $35 / Sass & Bide black and white shirt / Dorothy Perkins print top / Sister Jane , $83 / River Island stripe shirt, $30 / Black top, $12 / Dorothy Perkins canvas jacket / Quiz mid calf skirt, $26 / Elastic waist pants, $20 / House of Harlow 1960 stacked heel / Melissa pointy heels, $180 / Zara leather heels / White bracelet

There's just something so classic about a black and white piece. It will never go out of style.

What say you?

Are you going to be rocking any 'salt and pepper' pieces this Spring?

I can't wait to hear from you!

Thanks for reading.
XOXOXOXO
