I’d like to say that motherhood hasn’t change my personal style but in all honesty it has. At the beginning it was a drastic change. I was living in leggings and tops and rarely got dressed up to go out of the house. Before having Mason, I wouldn’t dare leave the house without looking put together, with makeup and hair done. Those first few months, it was a miracle if I got dressed in anything but loungewear. Now that Mason is 16 months old I am back to my personal style with a few minor tweaks.

Changes to my Personal Style After Motherhood

1. I’ve ditched the silk tops. I still have some that I love to wear but they are reserved for date nights, drinks with my friends, or times when Mason is being watched by my in-laws or parents. Now I prefer cotton tees, sweaters, or button-downs that are easy to breastfeed in and run around in since I’m chasing a toddler around the house all day long.

2. I’ve ditched my low-rise jeans and replaced them with high waist denim. I used to love my low rise skinny jeans but now they just don’t feel comfortable anymore. I’m loving high waist jeans and pants and feel great in them. I still have a pair or two that I’ve held onto in case I change my mind further down the road but for now I’m stocking up on high waisted EVERYTHING!!

3. I prefer flats over heels. I still wear and love my heels, I’ve built up quite the collection over the years, but now I wear them a lot less often. I’ve always loved flats but being petite I’d wear them infrequently. Now they are my staple along with boots and booties. Thankfully there are so many stylish options like my favorite mules I can’t live without to get me through the week and weekend.

4. I wear a lot less jewelry. I love my jewelry! I’m a Stella & Dot stylist because I love jewelry so much and I love S&D jewelry for everyday pieces. But for everyday wear with Mason I much more minimal when it comes to jewelry. Anything I wear he wants to grab so I have to be very careful. I still wear statement earrings or a necklace. I choose to wear a piece or two rather than earrings, necklace and an arm party because I just know I will be wanting to take them off as soon as Mason gets to grabbing at all of it.

My gift to myself. My latest @chanelofficial bag a My gift to myself. My latest @chanelofficial bag and a freshly organized living room with new faux floral stems that fit in my amber glass vases perfectly! I purchased this beauty @therealreal and couldn't be happier with it. It's the perfect elevated everyday bag. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw the color. I'd been eyeing the Gabrielle Bag for a while and was glad I waited to pull the trigger till now. It was definitely worth the wait to score this color. Chanel has one of the best resale values so I know I can't go wrong splurging on this baby! ⁣

I also just sent out a large box of goods to The RealReal to consign as I am trying hard to pair down my closet and get everything organized before baby arrives in June. I know I have a long way to go but making a little progress daily is so much easier and not at all overwhelming.
16 weeks today and finally getting a first trimest 16 weeks today and finally getting a first trimester blog post out! I'm talking about the differences between first and second pregnancies. Some of the common changes most women will experience the second time around as well as some personal differences I've experienced thus far. I'm also sharing some bump pics that show just how different my baby bump can look depending on angle as well as time of day. I tell you, it's constantly changing in size! So if you're at all curious, click on over to the blog (link in bio) to give it a read! And if you're also pregnant, I'd love to know which of the differences you've experienced this pregnancy!
My favorite photo from the weekend. Truly blessed My favorite photo from the weekend. Truly blessed to live by the beach. Mason loves watching the waves with us and going down to the beach to build sand castles. When it's not so cold it's almost impossible to get him out of the ocean and off the beach!
This Amazon cable knit cardigan will get you throu This Amazon cable knit cardigan will get you through winter! It's warm and cozy, priced under $35, and comes in a rainbow of colors. I now own it in two! 

This look is currently up on 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝒹 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 today so be sure to click on over to the blog (link in bio) to check it out and get my outfit deets. PS my booties are super old but I found them still available and on major sale in black and grey.
𝒩𝑒𝓌 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇, 𝒩𝑒𝓌 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈. I've been getting a slow start back into blogging after a nice long Christmas break. Mason is back in preschool so this mama has got to get back into a routine. I will say that I did get a new blog post up on Monday talking about my intentions for the New Year. Somewhat of a New Years Resolution. ⁣
⁣
Outside of that, I haven't really set any specific goals other than focusing on having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫?
