Yesterday I talked about how my go-to formula lately has been sweater (top) + jeans + boots. Here’s another example of how well that works. It was almost 70 degrees so I got to wear a tee under the cardigan and I’m not complaining.

I wore this outfit to my doctor’s appointment the other morning and I told my midwife I was concerned that I’m not gaining enough weight. She said my belly and Baby S are measuring just fine, BUT I should start eating more peanut butter, avocados, loaded baked potatoes, ICE CREAM AND COOK OUT MILKSHAKES. Pretty much all of my favorite things… and it’s doctor’s orders! This pregnancy thing isn’t so bad 😉

It was totally warm enough to not wear the cardigan but it wasn’t too warm that I was uncomfortable in it, so I mostly left it on.

You can see the tip of my sock, which I think is cute. I hate the advice I’ve seen some bloggers give that your socks should never be visible but there really isn’t anyone looking down my shoe so I see no reason to worry about it. Plus, it could give a nice, unexpected pop of color.

I’m not wearing navy! At least I don’t think I’m wearing navy – and denim doesn’t count! This shirt isn’t gray, it has small stripes that are white and either black or navy, so it’s possible that I haven’t broken the navy streak. However, I am wearing this gorgeous ivory blazer that is perfect for Spring. I resisted a white/ivory/light colored blazer for as long as I could because I was afraid that the second I wore one, I would get slimed  but so far nothing like that has happened. I even drank wine while wearing it and didn’t spill a single drop so I might be safe *KNOCK ON WOOD*

Today I’m linking up with Bri at Work Clothes, I Suppose who wanted to see our best Pinspired Outfit. I’m not sure this one is my best, but it’s pretty darn good! (Scroll down to the bottom to see the pinspiration photo.)  I could have gone with black skinnies, but I rarely wear black denim so I wanted to stay true to my style. I think it turned out great!  What do you think?

And here’s the fun one: my attempt at copying the inspiration photo.

Close enough!

I’m addicted to navy… and to cognac… and to wearing them together. I seriously can’t get enough of it lately. I’ve worn it here and here and here and here and now I’m wearing it again. I promise I have other colors but navy blue has been my go-to for the last few weeks which is probably because, according to About.com “navy conveys importance, confidence, power, and authority as well as intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism. Like black, it carries a sense of elegance, sophistication.” This is very timely because I’ve needed confidence, authority, and intelligence for school, so I wore this outfit to class and then to dinner with my mother-in-law.  I love that it’s simple but still elegant.

Welcome back to Menswear Monday. Today Nick is wearing a large-check shirt with a red knit tie, jeans, and tan nubuck oxfords. We should have gotten a photo of his socks because they’re also red with stripes and dots. I think this outfit is quintessential Nick; his favorite color is red and he looks really good in it. When I first met him (over 10 years ago) he had a short sleeved red check button-up shirt that he wore with cargo shorts. He wore it all the time because it was his favorite. Thankfully, he retired it a while ago.  This one reminds me of a more grown-up version of it.

I bought this tie clip as a Valentine’s gift. I knew he needed one and figured it would be great to have it personalized with his initials. It certainly looks very dapper.

Don’t forget to tune in to HuffPost Live,today, (3/3) @1:20PM/EST to see Nick talk about his decision to  wear an engagement ring!

Classy casual is a thing right? Because this outfit feels classy to me, with the polka dots and pearls, but it’s also pretty casual with the lighter denim. Ohh, I like the sound of that; I should change my blog name to polka dots and pearls! Don’t steal that (and if it already exists, just kidding, I won’t steal it either!)

I’m really feeling these loafers because they’re the perfect combination of cute and comfortable. Too often during the colder months I struggle with what shoes to wear because I want to look put together but I also want warm feet. When my feet are cold, my entire body gets cold. These are the perfect solution.

What makes you feel classy, yet casual?
