When I saw this look on Pinterest, I knew I could recreate something similar with my fuschia jeans. Maybe not as cute as the original, but more me!

Style Diary: Winter white
Heading out to run some errands with the Knox man. Thought it would be a fun day to break some fashion rules and sport some winter white jeans.

Postpartum
Oh, that magical time right after you have a baby...
No sleep, nothing fits, stressed out. Ugh, just the thought of those first few weeks or months after having a baby is all the birth control I need.
I get asked lots of questions about postpartum fashion, and I also get lots of comments about how people are going to call me once they lose their baby weight.
It has been 3 and a half years since I had to deal with the oh-so-lovely postpartum fashion conundrum, and though my memory may be a bit foggy, there are a few things I can remember and some advice I can give.
1. Do NOT plan on wearing your regular non-maternity jeans home from the hospital. This will only make you extremely sad. Even if by some MIRACLE all your weight actually was "baby," your hips have not returned to their former slimmer locations and most likely they have pumped you so full of fluids during delivery that you have gained several pounds of lovely water weight.
2. Go to Old Navy, Target or some other affordable place and get a few pairs of season appropriate bottom just to make it through the next few weeks or months. You are going to have to get them a few sizes bigger than you are used to buying, but don't let it bother you. Just be glad that you have some pants that you can comfortably wear outside the house. No one but you will know what size they are, and you will feel great when they get too big!
I found this great video on Laury's blog, along with a great post about her post-baby body struggles. I thought this advice was great...
If you are several months out, and still struggling to dress your new body, let me help!

Style Resolution: Be Thrifty
Most of you know that I LOVE a good bargain! Don't be afraid to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, and discount stores for your clothes! Even if I had lots of money (which I don't), I think I would still love the thrill of finding a great deal at an unexpected place.
Where is your favorite place to find a good deal?

Style Resolution: Army Style
If you have not purchased a military style jacket or vest yet, do it! I have been shocked how much I have worn my military jackets and vest. The vest is probably one of my favorite items in my wardrobe at the moment. It just seems to go with everything.
Here are some links to some cute ones...

Style Resolution: Scarves
My challenge for you today is to tie your scarf in a new way! Check out this post for some ideas, and here is one more..

Tying it near your neck and tucking it into your blouse a bit makes it look more like a necklace and less like a scarf. Plus, it is super warm.
