Can we talk about Zara for a moment? It was my favorite store in NYC. I was in three story heaven while there and am now seriously mourning that I don’t have one here in Tulsa. I’ve always been a bit afraid to order online because the times I have, I haven’t had great luck with sizing. While there I bought several things and could have bought so much more. They just have so many good things! I digress…
Here is what I did buy – this amazing gingham halter peplum top and these black cropped pants. When I bought them I jokingly told Russ he was going to have to take me on a date, so I would have an occasion to wear them together. Little did I know thatΒ shortly after we got back he would get a promotion at work, giving us a great reason to plan a date night and celebrate. I shared a picture on Instagram and mentioned how proud I was of Russ. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all. It was so fun to have such a neat response, not only from our friends and family here locally, but also from all my blogging friends. When I started this blogging journey, I never imagined having a community of women who would cheer me on through infertility treatment, work promotions, become travel buddies and resources, and more. So thank you. Thank you for becoming my friends.Β

I love black and white outfits and this one is super cute. Especially the bright heels
What a difference a year makes Amy Ann. This post from a year ago showed (still) your journey and struggles with infertility and look at you now. Before the year is over you will have a beautiful, healthy baby. I also wanted to say again that this outfit is super chic and that peplum top would work now early in your pregnancy. π
Such a cute top! I love Zara too! Wish we had one here in Hawaii! Love your style!

You have amazing style and I’ve said this before but will say it again that I’m a big fan π You can shop Zara online and they deliver for free! My problem is that there are 3 of them near my house and all of the store sales people know my face already π

I honestly could not remember whether I commented on this post or not so guess who else cannot ever keep up in life?? Yeah…anyway, your hair and makeup are complete perfection in these pictures. And I think everyone who interacts with you via blogging would say “right back at ya” in terms of the kindness and friendship that YOU bring to the community!

WOW! STUNNING! And congrats to Russ!
Isn’t it wonderful what a loving community we have as style bloggers? My non-blogging friends are always surprised that we’re not just a bunch of “mean girls.”
Thanks for sharing with Fun Fashion Friday and have a great weekend!

Oh girl, me too! I’m not sure what happened to June, but I cannot believe it’s already almost gone. I had a work trip this week, and I feel behind on everything!
