Monday's Inspiration - Pippa Middleton |
Last night I went to another room to talk on the phone.
Pigtails followed me, "Mama, TV." I told her I was on the phone, but she insisted, grabbing every remote and placing them on my lap. I still didn't turn it on. Finally, she got in my face, tapped my arm and said, "Calayer, Calayer." For a moment she stumped me then I realized she was calling me by my first name, Claire. "Calayer, turn on TV." I laughed and turned on the TV.
Today's "
Inspiration Monday" from
Two Birds is Pippa Middleton. I was excited to wear a newly thrifted Lush dress from Goodwill. Lush is a great non-maternity brand you can wear as maternity! Surprisingly my tights didn't feel too uncomfy. I also got to wear the thrifted zebra belt my mom got me (though that was the first thing to take off since belts aren't so comfy while pregnant).
Anyway, there's something about a dress with tights and boots that I love. The tights always seem to make the boots stand out. It's a real attention getter, kinda like a 20-month old calling her mommy by her first name!

Oh my, she is so darn cute! My kids call me by my first name when they want to get my attention too :)
I love your boots and tights combo. You look adorable! Heather
My oldest calls my husband by his first name when she's talking about him to someone else. It's hilarious.
That's a great dress. Nice that you'll still be able to wear it after baby too.

Wow I can't believe I won. This so made my day.
Also you daughter calling by your first name is so cute.
So cute! You are always finding great designer stuff where you thrift! Where are you going, in OC? We have to go soon Claire, I had so much fun when we went to lunch this summer! And I'm a different size than you so no worries about poaching :)

You look very boho chic in this dress! I agree with you about tights grabbing the attention of boots! That is too funny. My daughter once called me by my first name to get my attention and it totally threw me off.
Thanks for all your great comments btw. I don't know what is up with my damn comments!
i agree tights + boots = marvelous
would it be wrong if i liked your outfit better than pippa's?
I'm agreeing with above blogger...
yours is cuter. What a cute story.
Pigtails is a charmer.
I like the dress. It looks like a good style for maternity wear.
That dress is very lovely. I love the colors of it, and the pattern. It's a dress I bet you can keep wearing post-baby.
Laughing-out-loud at your little girl calling you by your first name!
cool outfit!
HAHA I did the same thing when I was young. LOL ME LIKEY LIKEY YOUR DRESS GIRL! What an awesome pattern and love the color in it. Nice! :D

love the colour and print of your dress. You're looking lovely Claire x
haha... hilarious story about pigtails! so funny! she definitely knows how to get your attention. Really like the boots and tights with dress combo!
Great job with this outfit! I love the colors you chose, and the boots look terrific. You are right that tights do seem to make the boots stand out. :)
That dress is a great find, perfect for Inspiration Monday! And that's adorable that Pigtails was calling you by your first name! You're going to have your hands full with 3 :)
i love the way it contrasts with the dress... have a nice week!
Such a gorgeous dress, and for $7?? You're a fab shopper! Thanks for participating in Visible Monday : >
That dress is fabulous and I love how you've styled it.
Oooh, I can see why you were chomping at the bit to wear that great zebra print belt! Love it! That dress is beautiful and with those grey tights, perfect. I NEED some grey tights I think;-)
I read the story about Pigtails to my husband and we both laughed. Our little one is already so persistent too.
Great IM post!
That dress is so pretty and I think I need those boots in my life!

Haha Calayer! I cant believe you thrifted this dress!! It is super cute! Happy Monday!
Love the bold print on the dress and how the look is almost completely monochromatic.
Chic on the Cheap
I like your dress a lot, you look fabulous in it, I like the ethic feel and the colors. I noticed that the colors of your outfit has gone a little more sombre and dark recently instead of your re-pregnancy bright primary colors. But I have to say, bright or dark colors, you look fabulous.

I wish I could find thrifts like this. Jealous!
The zebra belt was an excellent addition. At first I thought the pattern was part of the dress!

Hahahahahahahaha! That's too funny. Kids always seem to have a way of saying/doing exactly what needs to be said/done to get what they want, don't they?

Ooooh I love Pippa! That dress is amazing!
