OK…first of all…many of you have asked for more mama style posts and I have decided that I am going to try my hardest to oblige. I think it will be a good excuse for me to get dolled up at least once a week.
Mostly these outfit posts will be every day style – nothing over the top and glammy, but occasionally (like today) I’ll share outfits from a special event I might attend. The overall goal is to share style that is attainable, affordable and practical for moms and non-moms alike.
I’m calling it “Not Yoga Pants” (you can read why here) because yoga pants are such a trap that too many women fall into…I should know…I live in Oregon… quite possibly the yoga pants capitol of the world. I realize that comfort is key, but it is possible to balance comfort and style and I hope to encourage you to push yourself in this department.
I was also wondering if this might make for a good link-up? What do you think? I was thinking Monday would be a good day, so you’d have the whole weekend to prep your blog posts and because weekends tend to provide the most excuses for getting dressed in fun outfits – especially for those of you with a 9-5 work uniform.
So, Monday “Not Yoga Pants” style link-up it is and I included one today in case you have a post you want to share! OK…now on with this week’s outfit…

It’s like some law of the universe that invariably, when you have a wedding to attend, the most appealing thing in your closet to wear will be white. It’s science.
That rule about not being able to wear white to a wedding is kind of stupid if you ask me. It’s not like anyone is going to confuse my white, cotton sundress with the bride’s gorgeous, white, lace ballgown. But I digress…
I had a wedding to go to this past weekend and of course I wanted to wear white, because…hello…universe…
But, instead I wore black. Because apparently if you look in my closet, you’ll quickly realize that it’s my most favorite color in the history of ever. Really I do like color, but you just can’t go wrong with a LBD.
Also, the last time I wore this dress and photographed it was when I was 25 weeks pregnant. At least we know it’s a comfy one.
