Shop early spring

I don’t know what it is about this winter that just makes me so tired of it. It’s not like it’s been an horribly cold one, but it just feels like an endless one. Maybe because I can’t wear any cute clothes because as you know I am preggers. But I can’t help but start shopping for spring already, which makes me feel I have something to look forward to after the baby comes. Luckily I shed baby weight relatively easily and fast, based on the experience I had the first time. What I’m loving for this spring is all the bright saturated colors I’m seeing, whether it being shoes, dresses, separates, or accessories. Really love it.

Neon is what the winter needs!

This winter has been pretty miserable for me. I’ve been plagued by one cold after another for 3 months now. And I can’t take any cold drugs because I’m pregnant with baby #2 (hence no outfit posts for a long time). I’m pretty much in a funk fashion wise. I’ve just been living in roomy sweater dresses. Not that I’ve stopped shopping, I just can’t wear any of the stuff I recently bought. I can’t wait till the baby pops out in June. So anyway, neon colors are such a big trend this year, and I especially love it that it’s popping up everywhere in the winter as opposed to warmer weather, which totally helps with brightening one’s gloomy wintery day. This is exactly what I need. Both colors are gorgeous. I think the forgiving shape can carry me through the next few months.
