VINTAGE GLAM. :) A FLASH FROM THE PAST!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you enjoy today's post!!

2014            VS              2015

This blog post gives me so much perspective! I wore this look last year around September and styled it completely different! The fact that I can still fit in this dress after having a baby gives me such motivation to keep working towards my fitness goals! My overall goal is to look way better and more fit post baby than before the baby!

I just posted a video where I style this dress in two different ways. I decided to post my favorite look option on the blog. :) I did neutrals with the dress and I like how soft the finished look appears. I love bringing my thrifted pieces back to life, so to speak.

FIRST POST-BABY FASHION POST! WOOHOO!

Hi Everyone,

I recently filmed and published a mini look book inspired by my postpartum body. I'm loving being a mommy and loving the journey to get back in shape as well! I'm not going to fill this post with unnecessary rhetoric; I just want to get straight to the fashion! LOL

I posted the video on my YouTube channel, but here are the looks.

DENIM ON DENIM W/ A POP OF SILVER

This look creates a monochromatic illusion that detracts attention from my midsection.

A MODEST APPROACH TO BODYCON

Underneath this Aztec throw-over is a long sleeve cranberry body con dress. As I'm not yet ready to show off so much, the thick belt creates the illusion of a more defined waistline.

BACK TO MY BROOKLYN ROOTS

This boldly printed baseball-inspired buttoned tee is all I needed to amp up my confidence. It's playful and trendy. The low hem, flared skirt and lace-up booties give this look youthfulness.

FULL CIRCLE...

Our baby boy is finally here. This pregnancy and subsequent birth have been the greatest occurrences in my adult life since my wedding day. I've learned so much about myself, the world and life in general. I now hold my baby boy in my arms and I am in awe of the miracle that is pregnancy and childbirth. God has been so faithful to us and our family now feels complete. This post is dedicated to my angel baby, Korbyn. Wish you were here with us, but we know you are in the hands of God. Thank you for making a way for your little brother. I love you.
