// What I've Worn Recently... [ft. 9 Outfits!]



So I've yet to attempt outfit photos with a tripod and remote... Mostly out of laziness I think. But also because I often feel very boring and incredibly repetative. I wear the same style of jeggings and boots over and over and over. Creature of habit, but I don't mind. I totally already own a tripod and remote, but it's hard to juggle two kids with all kinds of time commitments and still find time to go look cute in a field or by a barn (I'm not hating - You betcha I'll be all over that if and when I can ha) But I've been ~documenting my outfits via my bedroom mirror (or any mirror really...) and I figured I might as well drop them here, too. I'm not going to go into extreme detail or anything, but I'll try to find the links to exact products when applicable. (I'll notate similar items with an asterisk *)



I have this dress in at least 9 or 10 colors and patterns. It's one of those dresses that is just so perfect. Unfortunately now they don't fit me the best. Since I really do love the fit and quality of them, I plan on having them altered to fit me now because that'd certainly be cheaper than replacing my entire ~collection haha I just also want all of the other prints and colors, too heh! (Just a heads up, they have sizes XXS - 6X!) These boots are seriously my favorite. You can probably tell because I wear them non-stop. I just love the fit and feel of them, so they're my new "black flats" if you will ;) They were from ModCloth like 4 years ago or more, and I never thought I'd be able to find another pair, but LOOK! Mine are the matte/suede kind and these are shinier faux leather, but it's something! I'll keep hunting for them. As for the cheeseburger case, it was a lucky $2 clearance score.



I picked up this jacket at the St. Louis Galleria when I was visiting Patrick over the new year. It was one of the first things I spotted when I walked into the store and I'm so glad I decided to buy it. I'm so so into the color and it's pretty darn warm, too. Not bad for $40! Also, these jeggings! I own these in multiple sizes because I just keep buying the exact same pair. They're that comfortable. I'm going to link to them in pretty much every outfit post below so... I really like them haha



I picked up this sweater on a random shopping trip with Whitney one day. Originally I bought it and paired it with a cream colored tulle skirt from the same collection, but I love how casual-but-cute it looks with jeans. I wore this for the 5 hour drive up to Patrick's and it's definitely road trip approved. This sweater comes in 3 different colors and I seriously want them all now.



The black top isn't normally something I go for (well, I guess that's a given considering I didn't wear pants before now haha) But it's definitely in steady rotation in my closet. It looks cute by itself and covered up. It's easy to dress up or down, so you can't really go wrong. The jacket though! I saw it on a random end cap at TJ Maxx one day and I scooped it up. I was wearing a sweater that day so when I tried it on it felt like it fit great. I do wish I had been about to get a size smaller but it was literally the only one I saw in the store so I'm still glad I bought it. I love the gold details.

This was my Christmas Day outfit, and if you stick around here long enough you'll see this very same outfit in a variety of colors. I bought this shirt in a multitude of colors because they were on super sale, but the black and olive are the two that make it out of the closet the most. I can't say a single bad thing about this top. A++++



This is a super casual stuck-at-home outfit and what I default to most of the time. I have quite the collection of t-shirts now and that feels so funny/strange to say.



You can totally pair black and brown together, right? Of course you can so naturally I did ha! I haven't worn these black jeans since snapping this photo, but I need to find some cute things to pair with them. Any suggestions?



I snagged this tee on clearance for $5. I was totally stoked on that. I had to poll Snapchat to ask if I was too old to wear a graphic tee like this haha Luckily everyone responded with an enthusiastic no :P I snapped the photo in the fitting room obviously.



This is what I was actually wearing on the day I snagged the tee up above (and the sage top, too!) It's nothing spectacular but I was totally feeling my hair that day haha! Dear hair, please do this again! Love, KB.

So there you have it... what I've been wearing lately. Maybe once the weather breaks (hurry up, Spring!) I'll feel more into the idea of traipsing around with a tripod in tow. Until then this will just have to do ;P

Which one is your favorite?

This dress immediately made me think of Amelia Earhart, despite most likely not being her style (ha!). It's covered in schematic drawings of prop planes, helicopters and fighter jets. I loved how "all American" it felt so I added a red belt and a white polka dot cardigan. The fit and cut of this dress is so incredibly flattering! I bought it one size up (XL) from my regular size, but it really does fit more like a L instead. Just a heads up incase you decide to buy it! It could be my growing midsection, who knows! But I'm hoping the waist sits high enough that I can continue to wear it throughout my pregnancy. It's the perfect length for Spring and Summer strolling. I'd highly recommend it to everyone. No joke. It's probably one of my favorite dresses of the moment.


The weather has been pretty amazing in Vegas so far! With highs in the mid-70s, I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to the gloom of Tennessee! I definitely miss my boys (and my Bump Nest pillow! haha) but it's been so fun to meet new people and enjoy a nice little trip away from home. I definitely promise to fill y'all in on all of the WWDMAGIC and Vegas happenings though! I figure it's better to do dedicated posts rather than litter each one of my outfit posts with anecdotes and happenings. Plus if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you're already getting a hefty dose of the goings on! (Sorry if it's overkilL! We have a set number of shares we have to do each day/hour, and it's definitely higher than my normal volume! Regular posting will resume after the trip! haha)

Some of you may already know this, but I'm obsessed with Cirque Du Soleil. I own the Anniversary collection on DVD but I've only had the pleasure of seeing one show in person (Saltimbanco in 2009!) I really wanted to see a show while I was in Vegas last August but my schedule simply didn't allow. Since I don't plan on spending as much time in the casinos or at Happy Hour this time around, I'm considering splurging on a show! I've always wanted to see "O," but I've heard great things about "Love" and "Zumanity." Each one is so unique and different, and I know they'd all impress! Have y'all seen any of their shows in Vegas before? Which one(s) do you recommend?! I keep talking myself out of it because the ticket prices are so high but then I remember just how magical it was to witness it in person. Everything about Cirque is totally insane and I love it!

Now I'm off to Day Two of MAGIC! I'll be sitting in on some panels today and hopefully seeing what the rest of the floor has to offer. Wish me luck! xo

Happy Monday, friends! Today I'm off to Las Vegas for another round of WWDMAGIC! (I couldn't be there without your support so please know how incredibly grateful I am!) Yesterday we had such a gorgeous day! It kicked my Spring Fever into serious overdrive. Sunshine, bare legs, and an incredibly blue sky. It sure beats the frozen rain we got for the entire week leading up to it. I took advantage of the sunshine and popped out of the house in a new polka dot dress. I scored this little number from ModCloth recently and I instantly knew I had to pair it with my yellow flats. Everything about it screamed Minnie Mouse to me! I opted to tone down the loud colors with a new, black nautical cardigan from Voodoo Vixen. I'm obsessed with how comfortable this cardigan is. It's solid black right now, only because I made sure not to sit on any of our furniture wearing it haha! Ugh, life with short hair dogs! (Speaking of which, any of y'all have any recommendations on really, really good lint rollers or snazzy methods for getting rid of pesky pet hair?!? Nothing stands up to bulldog hair it seems) Anyway, I love this dress! It's a little short on the backside, but the color and fit are otherwise perfect. The bright white collar is definitely one of my favorite features. Plus the piping on the little pockets!

Last week was such a blur for me. Everyone in the house battled an icky stomach bug, Toby was out of school for 2 or 3 days thanks to "snow" (ha!), and we spent Friday at a Pre-K Cake Walk where Toby hit the jackpot! He won six times! After #4 we were like "Okay, this is just ridiculous" and we asked Toby if it'd be okay if we gave his extra winnings to his friends instead. At the end of the day he still came home with 3 boxes of Little Debbie cakes (Swiss Rolls for him because "they're [his] favorite". Oatmeal Cream Pies "for Dad because they're his favorite". Strawberry Rollups because "they look yummy") and a big box of V-Day chocolates "for Mom." That kid! Not to mention the big box of candy, treats, and Valentines his classmates gave him. Tobes was on cloud nine basically haha 

On the topic of Valentine's Day, did y'all have a good one?! I woke up to a dozen peach roses, the most comfortable maternity shirts, a hilarious pregnancy book, and plenty of candy. Not to mention a handmade card from my mister! Mike totally spoiled me and I was over the moon! I returned the love with new snazzy pajamas, some Forage bowties (no other brand compares!), a silly lovey-dovey book, and a handmade pineapple card (I mean, a fineapple!) Toby racked up with some SpiderMan gummies, a Lego digger, and new Matchbox cars. I know it's not about what you receive, but it was such a special treat for each of us. After we put Toby to bed on Friday night we enjoyed a few episodes of House of Cards season 2. Have y'all watched it yet?! Dude! (Please don't share any spoilers for others!) I'm so stoked on this season. That's one amazing show.

I'm looking forward to a full work week in Las Vegas! I can't wait to reconnect with some of my favorite brands from last season, and meet plenty more. If all goes according to plan I'll be interviewing Kristin Cavallari tomorrow, too! (Let me know if you have any [non personal] questions you'd like me to kick her way!) If you're in Vegas (or have experience there) let me know if there are any places I should check out! I'm almost 17 weeks pregnant so I don't exactly have any business in the ~*clubs haha! (Though I definitely plan on popping into Beacher's Madhouse on Wednesday night with the rest of the group! Even if just for an hour. How can you pass that up?!) 

Also - that last diptych! How cute is that kid?!?! Gosh I just love him! He's kindly requested that we cut his hair before t-ball season starts so those precious strawberry blonde locks will be long gone here soon. Anyway, have a lovely day! xo

Outfit Post : Wednesday, October 27th

Yesterday the O'more Select (the four of us ladies graduating in december from the VisCom department) got together at Battleground Brewery where we will be having our senior art show in December and took the promo pictures for our website. Mike was darling enough to be the photographer! He was really excited and did such a wonderful job! While our site is not ready yet (look for it in the next week!), I figured I'd share a few of the photos with you as part of my daily outfit post! Yes, this has definitely become one of my go-to outfits but I can't help it. I really love nautical color schemes! Enjoy!
