WIWW: Bubble Necklace & Plum Cords

Happy Wednesday, readers!  Whatchu wearin', today??
The cheesy poorly un-posed 'look-away-from-the-camera' shot.  Totally unplanned.  Swear.
Me: 'Jordan- Let's take my picture out in the front.' 
Jordan: 'You mean, you are not only subjecting me to being your photographer, yet again, but now you're making me do it in front of all our neighbors?  I thought we were through with this picture-taking business after your last 'belly' picture.'
Me: 'You thought wrong, bub..'   
Once we realized that there was a plethora of neighbors out and about outside right at that very moment, we stopped for photo-op at the front porch. 
The porch pillars hid our shenanigans with the camera.. So our still-new neighbors don't think I'm this excessively vain woman thats come out of hiding after months of (being on bed rest) living on their street.   
top / Loft (last season) * undershirt/ Express (old) * corduroy pants / Loft (last season)  
 bubble necklace / Amazon * shoes / Steve Madden (borrowed)

I was excited to wear this shirt, finally.. after 9 months!  I purchased it right before I became pregs with the twinsies, and ended up only wearing it once to work before it became too short to cover the growing bump.  As for these cords- amazing.  I LOVE them.  I have two pairs- one in this gorg plum color and some in navy.  I must say that Loft knows how to make a well-fitting pant of the cord kind.  I wear their Modern Fit- fits me well in the rear and sits lower on the waist.

I got the bubble necklace (my very first, finally!) for Christmas from the fabulous MIL (mother-in-law).  She ordered it off Amazon, and after purchase realized it wouldn't be here until mid-January.  Much to her surprise it came with plenty of time for gift giving- making for a very happy DIL (daughter-in-law). That woman sure knows how to accessorize me.  Jordan tells me I have a hoarding issue with my ornate collection of jewlery- but I can totally blame her for all that I have.  Totally.

And those adorable leopard print pumps.. borrowed from my friend Ashley forever and a day ago.  I forgot I even had them until I did an inventory looking for outfits to wear my first week back to work.  I should probably return them to you, sweet friend.  You love me.

Alison @ Get Your Pretty On said...

First, I'm in LOVE with your outfit and need those shoes! And I can totally relate to taking pics out front. Every time we're out there the neighbors drive by really slow. All the while I'm thinking, they must think I'm the vainest woman on earth! Life of a fashion blogger. Ha! Thanks so much for linking up, pretty girl!

The colors of this outfit are just gorgeous, but the pumps are a scene stealer! Love it!

I usually have to argue with the hubby about outfit shots as well :-) They are good sports.

Hello beautiful mamma of twins! You look fantastic! Loving the plum color cords and the pop of leopard in the shoes and the sparkle from your top underneath! You put it all together so well!

Ashley @TheCreamToMyCoffee said...
