Happy Labor Day lovelies! I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday weekend! I’ll keep this short and sweet as I’m sure you would rather be out and about frolicking on the beach or noshing on a hamburger at a barbecue than reading my prattle.
You might have noticed that I pretty much put out a cease and desist order on outfit posts. They were just too difficult to manage at the end of my pregnancy and as for the past couple of months, well…sleep deprivation doesn’t make for pretty pictures. Ha! I decided it was time, however, to get back into the swing of things. If I waited until I wasn’t tired or until I lost all the baby weight, it would be a looooooooong time before I attempted another lookbook, so here I am in all my 11 week postpartum glory…I decided to tackle one of my favorite fall trends, polka dots! I used a navy and fuchsia color palette and our lovely beauty contributor, Annelis Diaz of Event Glam created a bold makeup look to go along with it…
Outfit Details: Old Navy polka dot sweater, Gap broken in straight khakis, Christian Siriano for Payless peep toes (similar here), BaubleBar magenta quad cuff, Baublebar pink twist cuff and gifted chain link bracelet
Don’t forget to join us, Momtrends and Glamamom by linking up your style/fashion posts below! This week, you could win Essie’s Sure Shot polish by linking up a post or by following us on Twitter and leaving a comment letting us know that you do so.

Just stumbled on your blog. What a fun site. Congratulations on your new addition. Wished I looked as great as you do when I had my little boy. I think I felt tired for the 1st year!
