Casual Outfit Idea + Little Life Update

December 19, 2016

Happy Monday everyone! How are you all? This is an easy casual outfit idea which fits perfectly with life lately. A great pair of distressed jeans, a striped tee, blush cardi (I’m obsessed), and my current favorite booties (on sale!) made me feel put together without trying. A hat hid my extra dirty hair. Just keeping it real here.

I thought I’d share a little life update. I haven’t gotten to do that much since we brought sweet Ivy home. It’s almost stupid how much I love her. She is seriously the best ever. Even on hard days that follow sleepless nights, I cannot help but remember thankful I am to be her mom. I shared this on Instagram, but her name means faithfulness and that is exactly what we see in God through this journey to parenthood. It’s hard to believe I am typing this, but our sweet girl is now over a month old. Whoa. Where did time go?!

Since Ivy is a premie, we were encouraged to stay in the house and even limit visitors to our house through the end of flu and RSV season. I think this is probably important for all babies born this time of year but especially when they are extra little. All that to say, we’ve been getting lots of snuggle time at home which is totally fine with me! It does mean I haven’t been getting out much and probably won’t be any time soon. All that to say, I try to keep outfits on the blog ones I have really worn. This is something I wore one of the handful of times I have gotten out of the house when Ivy and I both had a doctor appointment.

    Glad you are able to remain positive despite being a bit bound at the house but who am I kidding, baby snuggles trump so many things! <3 Still so happy for you and your little miracle! And this outfit is perfect for mom-on-the-go stuff. Or for non-moms like me too!

    Love this casual look! Good to hear you are relaxing at home with your new baby girl. If I were in your shoes, I would do the same and wait until flu season was over. Take care of yourself and your sweet family!! If I don’t get to say it later I’ll say it now, Merry Christmas!!

    This is such a relatable outfit! It’s what most of my day to day looks are like since who doesn’t love comfort mixed with style?! Glad to hear Ivy is doing well! We have a friend with a preemie as well and we love visiting & getting lots of cuddles.

    Such a perfect name for your sweet baby! 🙂 I am glad you are so happy and what a wonderful time of the year to be stuck at home with the Christmas tree lit up and when it’s bitterly cold outside anyway. I am sure you are enjoying every minute! Love this outfit, the lip color and striped shirt go so well together! 🙂
