Christmas with PinkBlush

Being a mommy to an almost 3-year old and a 3-month old during the holidays has been so much fun but also very overwhelming. Other than the typical hustle and bustle that comes with this time of year, I've had so much other stuff going on the last few weeks that I've had no time to think about what to wear for Christmas Day.

I didn't want to wear anything super fancy (I never do), but I also didn't want to wear anything too plain...AND I wanted to make sure it was super comfortable and covered all my problem areas (which have been even BIGGER problems with all the Christmas baked goods going around...into my mouth, that is).

This ruffle trim sweater from PinkBlush was the perfect top to wear this Christmas. It is unbelievably soft and comfortable, and I just love the rust color - truly gives off a warm vibe.

True story: During Christmas lunch at my husband's aunt's house, Henry barfed/spit-up all over the bottom half of my sweater after I finished nursing him. I was totally regretting not packing extra clothes for myself and was nearly about to ask if I could borrow a shirt, but I decided to do my very best to clean the stain off first. After a few minutes of scrubbing with a kitchen rag and good ol' dish soap, I rinsed out the sweater, squeezed out all the excess water, and spent no more than 15 minutes airing it out before it was completely dry. It was a Christmas miracle.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I'll be spending the next few days negotiating with my firstborn on what toys we should keep in the house and what we should put away in storage - I am up to my armpits in toy cars and train sets over here!

Until next time!

Sweater Weather

It only took until the beginning of November for the "cold" weather to hit Southern California; BUT it's here, and I am so excited about it!

I truly love "Sweater Weather" and could honestly live in sweaters all year long if I could. (I guess I'm living in the wrong state, huh? ) So once it hit the 60's/70's, I busted out my sweaters from storage and got this super comfy sweater from PinkBlush.

Being 5'0" and a little on the chubby side, I opted for a larger size for a looser fit; however, the sweater was rather long for my stature, so I took it in for alterations (I asked them to hem it just below the booty).

And what I love most about this sweater is the floral accent on the arms - it totally brings a feminine look to this boy mom's daily attire of the usual blacks and grays. A sweater, jeans, and sneakers are my usual go-to outfit when I'm out and about, so I'm sure this sweater will be used often...as long as SoCal permits it!

You can find the same exact sweater HERE. Also, today only, you can take 40% off CLEARANCE items and shipping within the U.S. is always free. If you're not buying anything for yourself, you can always go gift-shopping. It's never too early to start!

Postpartum Clothes with PinkBlush

Remember when I did a "Wish I Knew Wednesday" post about pregnancy and postpartum self-care? Particularly about wishing that I had comfy postpartum clothes the first time around? Well, I have practically been living in oversized tops and baggy pants the last few weeks, including my hospital robe and pajama pants from PinkBlush.

However...there does come a time during postpartum when you want NEED to doll yourself up, but it can be difficult to hide that little belly pooch...unless you're one of those lucky ladies who has a six-pack right after giving birth, NYEH! Luckily, a lot of PinkBlush's maternity clothes can be worn postpartum AND are nursing friendly.

This maternity/nursing top from PinkBlush is great to wear anytime anywhere, and the material is super stretchy and breathable. You can easily pair it with solid/patterned leggings or skinny jeans and finish off the look with strappy booties and a flat-brimmed hat. But today, I just stuck with my good ol' black leggings and brown sandals. I'm not up for skinny jeans and boots juuust yet; but the holidays are coming up, so you can bet that I'll be wearing this top again with some sweet accessories.

This little guy is my best accessory anyway. ;)

This maternity/nursing top can be found HERE.

(Also available in a variety of colors!)

It's always nice to look decent every once in a while. And now, I'm back in my pajama pants and spit-up stained shirt, with my hair up in the ugliest bun ever. Can't wait to have the energy, time, and motivation to look half decent again!

Until next time!
