Tropical Print Dress

Nashville turned up the heat this weekend, and it felt like the middle of summer. So in the spirit of much warmer weather, I broke out this fun, tropical print dress. Soon enough it will definitely be a favorite, especially for a weekend on the lake or at the beach.

For just $14, this shirt dress is an easy go to. Not only is the fit comfortable and casual, but the print is adorable. For my non-maternity friends, you can easily style this tropical print with a wedge sandal or heel. For now it’s flat sandals or classic, white sneakers.

You will absolutely see me in this tropical print again soon. Until then, grab yours HERE.

Double Dose of Denim

JACKET | DRESS | WEDGES similar

As of late, I’ve been talking a lot about pulling together looks I love while pregnant. This double dose of denim outfit, is one of those looks. I won’t lie, I’ve been struggling to create outfits that I can wear for 8+ hours at work comfortably, while still looking put together. I’ve had to get a bit resourceful, so I borrowed this jacket from the back of my closet and combined old + new elements.

I feel like it’s super important for me to always be open with you all, so staying the “struggle is real” when it comes to getting dressed every day, is no lie. Even though I love fashion, I love creating looks, and I love getting dressed (in theory), it’s not so fun or as easy pregnant. Things just don’t fit normally, and seeing your body change before your eyes is amazing yet also confusing.

Long story short, denim is always a go-to for me, because it’s comfortable, and also can be refined. I loved pairing this jacket and dress together, and surprisingly I was comfortable all day long. Bear with me as I navigate getting dressed and sharing my every day style with you all the next 3 months of pregnancy. I promise it will be good, but it may take some trial and error to get to the end result.

Orange Florals

CARDIGAN | TOP similar | LEGGINGS | SANDALS

I’ve been loving this deep orange color as of late, especially this cardigan and floral print combo. Both pieces are non-maternity, however they work for the time being. Paired with a simple, black legging and sandals, this look is easily a favorite for work and the weekend.

Cute maternity clothes can be difficult to find, so when you find pieces that suit your personal style, and fit your growing body, you go with it. For now, orange florals are my thing, and I’m not mad about it. We will have to wait and see how long this little, outfit of the day fits!

Tiny Toes Design

Funny story for you guys… in January I added four Tiny Toes Design prints to my early baby registry. I chose four baby animal prints and I was crossing my fingers that my nursery design plan would work out, so I could add these prints to the room.

Fast forward to about a month ago, I had the opportunity to work with the Tiny Toes Design team to select four prints of my choice. My nursery design was turning out as I had envisioned, and I was able to select the four prints I originally wanted. I then removed them from my registry, and patiently waited on the prints to arrive. I could not wait to get them out and displayed in the nursery.

Although the space is still very incomplete, it’s coming together one piece at a time. I can’t help but feel so grateful and honored to do what I do, and to be able to work with such cool designers. This vision came full circle, and I know baby Sharp will just love his new prints as much as we do.

Tiny Toes Design’s Brett Blumenthal is a popular artist, known for her nursery and children’s room artwork. Her beautiful animal prints, including woodland creatures and jungle friends, make any room an absolute fairytale.

Brett creates each unique piece using watercolors, markers, pencils, pastels and other media. Her fine art prints aren’t just designed for babies’ rooms, but they are intended to grow with the child. My favorite part of all, Tiny Toes Design also donates at least 10 percent of proceeds back to wildlife and environmental causes. To date, that number is $50K and growing.

I chose Brett’s baby cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and zebra. These were the four original prints I had my eye on. They look so adorable in the space so far, so I can only imagine how much I will love it when it’s finalized.

Be sure to check out Tiny Toes Design, and all of Brett’s gorgeous work. You will NOT be disappointed. More images coming soon when the baby Sharp’s nursery gets a few more finishing touches.
