Mardi Gras Weekend

So here's my outfit that I wore for Mardi Gras. We went to Galveston Island in Texas & the hubs and I had so much fun! I'd never celebrated Mardi Gras so it was definitely fun. I really underestimated my pregginess....I was soooo tired by the end of Saturday. I woke up Sunday morning still tired! Look at that preggie face...

I can't remember how much this dress cost but it was around $10 at Ross. I have no idea where that scarf came from...maybe from my mother? And ya'll will recognize the flats from here. Oh and that flower clip is from J.Crew. It was $10 as well.

That jean jacket is another favorite of mine. I only have 2 jean jackets, both from my sis and I love them because they're both so cute and unique. My sister has the best taste in clothes. :-) I will get a better shot of the detail of this jacket later on...Good night everyone! :-)-K.D.

What to Wear for Maternity Shoot?

My maternity photo shoot is coming up and I don't know what to wear! Well, usually I tend to gravitate towards dresses. That's what I initially wanted to wear (and still do), but I'm think about showing off my stomach a little too...maybe. I don't know. I saw this in Forever 21 and thought it would be perfect for the shoot....This print just spoke to me!

It's retailing for $27.80. I went to F21 last weekend and tried on 2 dresses. This wasn't one of them. I remember seeing it, but I didn't want to try it on. I tried on the other dresses because they were cheaper and the fabric was stretchier (word?). Unfortunately, I couldn't find those dresses on the site. : \ I loved the dresses I tried on, but I wasn't quite sure I wanted to get them. PREGGIE BRAIN. lol!

So I've got a dilemna because I do not want to take photos in 2 different outfits. I wanna get something to wear and stick w/ that for the entire shoot. I'll either get a dress or something that will show my stomach off like a one of those cute preggie crop tops. What to do? I think I'm gonna check out Ross for some of their dress deals. It's also time to raid my closet to see if I have something that can be used as a pretty top that shows my bare stomach. Gotta make a decision quick. It's 2:00am. Off to bed I go. Night ya'll. :-)-K.D.

Burlington Coat Factory Suit

I was browsing through some old pics and found this one from May '07 while visiting Memphis. I bought this linen suit from a Burlington Coat Factory in VA. I remember finding it and thinking it was so cute with it's little belt (even though it's twisted in the pic!) & all. It was $40. I still wear the pieces every now and then, but I haven't worn the suit as a whole in forever. I wonder will the skirt fit after I give birth. It was already starting to get a little tight....we'll see.

Style Feature on Baby Shopaholic!

Yes, it's true! I'm featured on a very cute blog called Baby Shopaholic today as a Hot Mama to Be. :D This announcement truly deserved it's own post. A big thanks goes to Trina from Baby Shopaholic for reaching out to me! I'm going to be blasting this on all of my networks and blogs today! Other blogs have posted my hair styles on their sites, but this is the 1st time someone's done an actual post on me. *blushing*

Buying a Stylish Diaper Bag

I've decided I won't be buying a traditional diaper bag. Not my taste at all. I've decided to just buy a big stylish bag. ;-) The bag I buy has to be fly like these....

Unfortunately, these Parazul bags retail for $340. 0_O Aren't they so cute though?!

So I'm gonna be checking out some sites for the perfect diaper bag. I'll let you know what I find. :-)

Summer Dress in January

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to discontinue ETSS. Truth is, I don't really have as many outfits to post as I did before. Also, I'm not working full-time so sometimes I'm at home all day wearing nothing that is post worthy, lol. And since I'm pregnant, I've been spending a boatload of time researching carseats, strollers, breastfeeding, etc. I haven't really been allotting myself any free to do some of the things I enjoy like blogging here. (Remember I still blog here and here too) So....I've decided to continue ETSS! As a matter of fact, I'm going to re-dedicate myself to it. I love to post my cheap outfits so I'm gonna continue to do just that. I will sprinkle in baby stuff with it of course. ;-) The main focus will still be on cheap, thrifty deals though. Ya'll are not getting rid of me that easily. :-)

So without further ado, here's some photos of me taken this weekend after the hubs and I came back from Frenchy's.

Everytime I wear this dress, I have to always pick up the bottom half! lol!

I love this dress! This is a 4 year old F21 dress I bought. I don't remember how much it was, but it's very comfortable! That's what I look for these days as the Munchkin grows inside of me. The weather was so pretty this past weekend that I had to wear it. We're supposed to be getting snow today and tommorrow, but hopefully we won't. *fingers crossed*

Later. :-) -K.D.
