Currently Dreaming About...

1. I am really curious about this online photo class... but not sure if I could drop 100 bucks on it. Having a newborn again (and most likely our last one) is giving me a desire to capture every detail possible by camera. I am wondering if this class would give me much more insight on how to do that in a meaningful way. It's only offered for a limited time, so the clock is ticking' Hmmm....

2. I have a handful of jeans that are post-partum sized that I bought from my previous 2 pregnancies. The only issue I am having is that they are a totally different style than what I wear now-a-days. They are very long, straight leg jeans that I wore when I returned to work with heels and tall wedges. Now that I know I am going to be home with this sweet pea for a good while, heels are not happening. What do you do when you need jeans but have very little $ to spend on them??? Forever 21... or Forever 35 as Dustin likes to call it. :) I bought these and am waiting for them to arrive. Hoping that they breathe new life into my sweat pant/t-shirt look du jour.

3. I also threw these in my cart before checking out, too. Ugh! Staying home with endless time to online shop is dangerous.

4. A very worthwhile spend that I'm contemplating: this new study from Gretchen Saffles at Life Lived Beautifully. If you don't already follow her on instagram, you should. Find her here for daily encouragement and inspiration from scripture.

5. I'm hanging on to a Christmas gift card to my favorite store in the hopes of loading up on some of these when my birthday month coupon rolls in. These candles are my FAVORITE! Nothing says spring like the scents of Voluspa candles. Mmmmmm. I can't wait!

And some of my favorite online reads of the week:

Emily's 10 classic winter to spring transitional pieces for the wardrobe. I love her and everything about her blog. Her design aesthetic is perfection!!! So inspiring.

Anna Jane everything! This sweater is so perfectly girly, romantic, and classic. Her hair is also making me contemplate a shorter cut. I adore her style.

And ironically, this article from Caroline that encourages us to cool off our spring fever shopping. I love how practical she is. I have learned so much from her blog.


It's so nice to have the time off from busy work weeks to indulge in all of this online reading. What about you? What's on your wish list right now?

Have you ever looked at your closet FULL of clothing that you paid ample amounts of $$$ for and sadly proclaimed, "I have nothing to wear!"

Or, if you're like me, have a zillion and one things squished in your closet space so that you can't adequately navigate and instead opt for the same go to tee or sweatshirt mixed with your favorite jeans.

Yesterday I came across this blog. She's super cute and I loved scrolling through her pictures... kind of like reading a magazine. Today she kicked off her 30 x 30. She chose 30 pieces from her closet and plans on wearing them, and only them for the next 30 days. It's a take on shopping your closet and trying not to go out and purchase more things that you have to have that later become part of the hidden clutter.

I felt inspired. I'm not going to join in on the 30 x 30 just yet, but maybe a closet organizing will be my ticket. Summer is here and I need to amp up my mommy style a bit.

Happy Monday all!
