SHE'S HERE!!!

My baby girl is finally here.  She is nine weeks now.  Wow how time flies. The days are passing by so fast that I miss days of the week.  All my time and energy goes to her.  We still haven't set a routine and don't believe we will for a few more weeks.  I am really living one day at a time, enjoying this precious gift God has given us.  I normally like to rush to the next thing but I am taking my sweet time with baby girl.  She will never be this age again and I will never be a new mom again.  Because I have this wonderful edition to my life I will post articles about baby stuff and parenthood.  If you're not at this point in your life feel free to skip post relating to baby girl/parenthood.  But hopefully you will be along for the ride of this wonderful journey.  Want more photos?  Follow me on Instagram @Teatodd2.

VOGUE BAD

Be bad and wear a graphic tee, short shorts, sky high heels, & a chunky sweater. The weather is cooler now so this outfit is very unexpected.

BRIGHTEN UP BASICS

It's getting cooler now. To keep your basics looking fresh add a pop of color. This long sleeve yellow shirt brightens up everyday denim and neutral blazer. Keep your bag and shoes in a neutral color as well to keep the eyes on the pop of yellow.

FASHION NOW

While searching the internet tonight I seen a very daring cutout dress on a woman (the second dress below). This dress is hot, a little too hot. I must admit this cutout is too much for me.  I believe you can't wear panties with this. I did  find the site that made this custom dress and found that there are more demure yet original styles available. These styles I could wear to the appropriate events. The designer started off by making clothing for herself to fit her unique body shape. Others loved her designs and the rest is history. With the holiday season upon us it would be nice to walk into a party and not see three other girls wearing your dress. You are bound to turn heads. With uniqueness comes a price. However it's well worth it since the garment will fit only you and it's handmade. Would you wear any of these, if so whats your favorite?

TREND ALERT: PRINTED CARDIGAN

Mattie from Mattieologie.com has a beautiful printed cardigan on by Rachel Roy.  She keeps her pieces basic so focal point of her look is the cardigan.  This is a great go to look for last minute outfit ideas.  The cost is a little pricey for my liking but the quality looks really good.  It can be purchased at Macys for $189.

TREND ALERT: PRINTED CARDIGAN

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The days are still warm, the nights have a crisp cool breeze, and the tree leaves are a pretty burnt orange color. There is another thing I love about fall, and that is the fashion. Fall means scarfs, hats, jeans, and outerwear. There is one piece that has caught my eye recently, the printed cardigan. The ethnic print craze has carried over from summer to fall. With this piece you can keep it simple by pairing it with your already have basics. Jeans, a white tee, a statement necklace, and booties will put the cardigan on display as the main piece. I've seen very causal printed cardigans to more dressed up pieces. Will you try this trend?

PREGGO? DON'T BE SUPERWOMAN

My baby girl is almost here!  Her due date is a little more than a week away.  Everything is in place.  Her car seat is installed.  Her crib is set up.  Her clothes are ready to go.  And most important the house is clean.  The first few days of my maternity leave was spent organizing and deep cleaning.  To my blessing a dear friend sent her maid to take over this tedious chore for me.  God bless her & her husband.  Now I'm spoiled.  All throughout my pregnancy I tried my very best to keep up my household but part of me wish I would have thought about getting a maid sooner and ask for more help with the daily chores.  After reading Mommy Noire's article about what not to do when pregnant made me realize I didn't play the pregnancy card like I should have, lol.  Just because I'm preggo doesn't mean I'm immobile.  But I'm the type of person if I want something done I'll just do it myself.  Well lesson learned (for when baby #2 comes).  Don't try to be a superwoman while pregnant.  Enjoy this time to have someone do all the stuff that you shouldn't be doing.  Here is a brief review of what preggos should not be doing:

1. Cleaning with harmful chemicals.  I stayed away from this my first trimester but by time the second trimester rolled around I couldn't take it anymore.  I cleaned but wore a mask.
2. Taking out the trash & bending down.  I couldn't wait for someone to come by to bend down and pick up stuff for me.  I know I've bent down more than I should have though.
3. Moving furniture.  I was so bad at this one.  I would be motivated to do stuff like organize our bedroom/nursery when I was alone.  So I had no one to help.  But I should have waited to do this.
4. Laundry.  There is just no way I could let this go.  I would tell the hubby to put the clothes in the dryer from time to time though.
5.Mopping/Vacuming.  Once agian I just couldn't wait for this to be done if it needed to be done right then and there.

You can read the full article here from Mommy Noire.  What things have you done that you weren't suppose to do while pregnant?
