Taking a break

I will be taking a break from my fashion blogging. I am not finding anything, other than what I already have posted about, in different colors. So, please accept my apologies to those who looked forward to the weekly fashion collage.

I will keep everyone updated on Lilla Rose sales and specials.

Welcome to July. I am trying to focus on light colors and light fabrics so everyone can stay cool,but I reverted to the jean skirt, since it just goes with everything. Under the floppy hat, you can wear any Lilla Rose haircessory you want 😊

Since we are so close to a U.S. Holiday, I thought I would give in to all the red, white, and blue I keep seeing everywhere.

Since we have been camping practically all month so far, I thought I would do something alittle more pretty, to get my mind off of dirt and grime.

Today, I'm thinking of the beach. Nice long, flowing, but light weight clothing. I also decided to let our hair down and go with Bobby Pins to keep our hair out of our faces.

Today, we are exploring our purple side. Purple is my second favorite color. I hope everyone likes what I picked out. The nail polish is yet again a sheer and not as thick as the picture on the website shows. I own this particular color and love the tint of lilac it gives.

Today, is June 1! It is getting hot outside, so we need to have some cool items in our wardrobe. If you know me, you will be shocked that I am recommending a white skirt, but white skirts scream summer, since they reflect the sun.

As always, it seems, I start with a basic color and give it a little pop. Today we are in navy and give it a boost with a Cayenne colored cardigan. Again, lately I tend to go more for the surplice top dresses and put a half tee underneath.

LuLaRoe clothing

A few months ago, I was introduced to a new line of clothing. I waited and waited to share this with you, because I mistakenly thought that I need to purchase from one consultant, which now I know is far from the truth. If you are on Facebook, you will be able to purchase the clothes, otherwise, you will have to seek the consultants in your area for their Pop-Up Boutiques. If you are on Facebook, please start your LuLaRoe clothing searches with my friend, Theresa, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1707455732863569/. Otherwise, just type in the search LuLaRoe, and hundreds of pages will pop up. Every consultant has different items. No 2 consultants have the same colors, prints, etc. For modesty, I have chosen the Maxi as my favorite skirt and the Classic T as my favorite shirt. For sizing, I would recommend going down at least 1 size.

LuLaRoe Maxi

The leggings are a big feature of the clothing line up. There are kid and adult sizes. I wear the TC (Tall & Curvy), and they are wonderful. Be aware that they do have solid colors as well as all the funky prints you could ever dream up and more. I wear the solid color leggings under my, below the knee, jean skirts on cooler days of the year. There is definitely something for everyone, even pizza leggings...

Classic T (my unicorn)

Lilla Rose goes well with LuLaRoe (yes it is a tongue twister and gets very confusing for vendor events...). Not only can you coordinate your hair accessories with the clothes, you can put a clip on the bottom hem of the shirt, like girls used to use scrunchies in the 80's. www.lillarose.biz/beequabutterfly

Today, I felt I needed to follow what makes me feel pretty. Pink is my absolute favorite color. If you could look at my closet (and a few rooms in our home) you would have no doubt that is my favorite, much to my husband's chagrin.

This dress has a surplice front, which is great for nursing, but too low for modesty, which is why I have added a half tee to put underneath. I often wear this type of dress and also put a regular shirt over top. Either way, surplice dresses seem the way to go.

So, here I give you, Pretty in Pink.

Some of you may be wondering why I do not post necklaces, other than teething jewelry, or dangle earrings. I don't feel that that type of jewelry is good for mom or baby. It is a major distraction when you have a nursling who wants to grab anything and everything. I have not worn necklaces or and dangle earrings for almost 10 years, as I have always had a nursling. Do I miss wearing them? Not really. I have figured out that this season of life is about my nurslings, and not me. I don't feel jewelry really makes or breaks an outfit. Most days, I just have my Bravado Essential Tank (which they discontinued...) to hide my midriff, knit shirt, and a long skirt on, and I am set. If I go out of the house, I slip on a pair of Birki's, yes, even in the dead of winter, unless there is a lot of snow on the ground, and I'm good to go.
I also will not be posting any make up, as I do not feel the need to wear that either, which I blogged about a couple years ago. I do occasionally wear nail polish, but even that is limited, which is why I may or may not show an OPI polish. OPI is the best polish without all of the terrible chemicals in it that seems to last. This is the only brand of polish I personally recommend.

This week, we are layering and even adding a bit of fun jewelry that baby can teeth on. Maxi skirts are a must for busy moms that want to crawl around and play on the floor with their little love bugs.

A brand that I love...

I just wanted to bring attention to a website that I absolutely love to look at and dream about. If I had unlimited funds, I would no doubt have several of her pieces. This website is http://www.aprilcornell.com

I have purchased a few petticoats and over dresses for Tabitha when she was younger from EBay, and I can say with out a doubt that the fabrics and attention to detail are very much worth how much she asks for her clothing.

I thought I would just put this out there for anyone that can splurge on these types of modest clothing pieces.

Unfortunate

It seems at this time that Target has made a very poor decision and I cannot support them in any way. So, even though I found some skirts to put in my Tween series, I will not be using them. Until they retract their stance on gender confused bathrooms, I cannot, as a Christian, promote this company in any way.

This week, let's go with an outfit, shirt and skirt, that I really have in my closet. I wear this at least once a week. It is so comfortable! As always, the nursing layer is a Bravado Tank. Also, don't forget to purchase a matching Flexi for your scarf.

Modest Feminine Plus Size Nursing Momma Wednesday

A blog that I read quite a bit, always has Feminine Friday's, which I really like, but I thought I need to put my twist on it. I am a plus sized, nursing momma, who is constantly looking for the best way to look feminine, and not frumpy. I decided about 7 years ago that I also needed to be modest about my dress. So, here we are. I am hoping to give encouragement to all plus, nursing moms out there, by showing we don't have to wear tents in order to dress modest and feminine, while feeding our little ones.

My definition of modesty and being feminine may differ from your own. In my opinion, modesty does not show your upper arms, your cleavage, your bra straps, your midriff, or your knees. To be feminine, is to look and feel pretty.

During this series, you will most likely learn, that I really like lace, eyelet, and pink, although the, I will try my best to switch it up. I also practically live in Bravado tanks to keep my midriff covered.

My plan is to give you 1-2 whole outfit ideas, from head to toe. I will be linking all of the items, so if you want to purchase any of the items, you will be able to do so.

From head to toe:
Lilla Rose Tiara Crystal Flexi Clip
Stella & Dot Deja Vu Pearl Studs
Thirty-One Avenue Scarf in Navy Perfect Pendant
Bravado Dream Nursing Tank in White
Dress Barn roz & ALI Plus Size Knit Top in Peach
Thirty-One Diamond District purse in City Charcoal Snake
OPI Infinite Shine You Can Count On It
Dress Barn Plus Size Navy Crochet Skirt in Shipshape Navy
Rockport Total Motion Taja Quarter Strap in Deep Ocean Casual Suede

If I had unlimited funds, I would definitely purchase this entire outfit! The Peachy pink shirt with the navy crocheted lace skirt and comfy Rockport wedges, you will definitely be ready for a day of shopping or lunch out with your mom and sisters (and baby or course)! Don't forget to get a matching Flexi to put on the scarf too.
