Fall Finds by nursetmj featuring hobo handbags
A few little goodies I snapped up over the weekend to update my fall wardrobe. (Except that Brompton Hobo...I'm hoping the Birthday Fairy brings that for my bday this month, lol! Hey, a girl can dream, right?) Because if I'm going to be covered in spitup and sticky unknown substances, I might as well try to look cute, right? You know, for the times I actually get out of my yoga pants and leave the house.
The lace top I found at the GAP outlet for way cheap -- but that picture was the closest thing to it I could dig up on Polyvore. And the black skinnies I got were also GAP. And my scarf is JCrew but it was no longer on their website.
I find in the midst of running on the never-ending hamster wheel of motherhood (diaper changes, feedings, cleaning, meltdowns, repeat), I enjoy the little escape that is Pinterest and Polyvore and Fashion. It makes me happy. Much like Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks ; )
I have also found I was getting into a bad habit of ordering stuff online from Old Navy, (because hello! Their stuff is SO cheap!) only to be disappointed by the fit and/or quality when it arrived. I think ON is great for maternity wear (stuff you won't wear for all that long), and also maybe for trendy items that you probably won't care about a year or two from now.... but for stuff you want to keep long-term, I'd rather get less and spend a little more.
Anyway, I'm by NO means a fashion expert, nor do I consider myself particularly trendy (not at all even!) but I think a few new things to freshen up the wardrobe makes this mama happy. And I like looking back through my blog to see what I thought was cool at the time ; )
