I find that I'm doing more black and white and neutral outfits and fewer riot of bright color outfits. Maybe it's because I'm into graphic patterns and matchy matchy, so there's still plenty going on to keep me from getting bored, even with the lack of color.
Back at work and already on call again. I'm at the hospital all week, including this weekend, so these are all work outfits. Though I did go to the park in #7. Baby is having issues with reflux due to dairy allergy (and possibly soy), so he's waking up more at night and I'm having a hard time finding things to eat (dairy and soy are in everything!) Between work and taking care of the kids and pumping at home/work and nursing at home and waking up at night with the baby and answering pages in the middle of the night and waking up early with DS1, I'm super exhausted! And hungry! This is my only fun outlet though, so I'm still posting WIW's. Thanks for looking and commenting!
1-6. DH surprised me with a gift card to White House Black Market before the baby came so that I could buy new clothes after the baby--so sweet. I finally had the chance to shop there and got a bunch of stuff. My Anne Fontaine white shirt is too tight across my nursing bust now (buttons kept popping open) so I was glad to find this substitute. I also bought some shorts and jewelry. And these flats, but within 10 min of wearing them the paint already chipped off the point of the toe on one of them, so I'm considering taking it back for return/exchange.
WHBM white poplin shirt with rolled sleeves, black and white chevron stripe skirt, cap toe black flats, and black dot necklace. Michael Kors black satchel.
7-10. This dress is great for access for pumping and nursing with the snaps (although I forgot to button it up after nursing at the park--how embarrassing!). It also works equally well in spring/summer (with sandals or booties) and fall (with tall boots and leather jacket). I went to the park with the boys after work to pick up DD who was with a friend all day for a playdate. I was so glad that the friend's parents and my MIL were there to help out, because I simultaneously got paged to call the hospital, DS2 started crying wanting to nurse, DS1 said he had to go potty RIGHT NOW (with no bathroom at the park), and DD was with her friend hiding somewhere in the big play structure. I can't keep all the balls in the air by myself...definitely need lots of help! It's a three ring circus around here for sure!
H&M safari shirtdress, Linea Pelle belt, Rieker booties, Fossil floral satchel, F21 bronze bracelet and Alexis Bittar orange leopard pendant (love the matching orange in the bracelet and necklace).
11-12. Hope you're not sick of my match matchy polka dot craze! I love the necklace I just got from WHBM (#4), because it's like a polka dot necklace! It's a more subdued variation of the J Crew bubble necklace, so it's a lot more wearable. I can't believe these dotty snake shoes and bag weren't part of a set...they're like long-lost twins! And these shoes are one of the most attention-getting compliment-generating shoes I own! All of my patients and the hospital staff love them. I tried to purge my closet but I keep pulling things out of the purge pile, like this jacket (that I thought was too wrinkly), because I need them to complete an outfit. This was the only topper that worked (matches the color of the shoes/bag, plus the buttons match the polka dots), and it was perfect for the foggy weather. I'm having second thoughts about purging my closet, because I keep rescuing everything from the purge pile!
