Knotted

A simple Sunday outfit for your Tuesday viewing pleasure.

The heat is on here in Arizona and this past Sunday we reached a whopping 98^°! The hubby and I ignored our growing To-Do list and opted for an air conditioned movie theater and iced cold margaritas. Well the margaritas were for him, I on the other hand sipped on H2O but a girl can dream, right?

While maxi skirts and dresses have easily become my go-to item du jour throughout my pregnancy they still seem to still trap some heat under all that fabric. Tip: knotting it at the side is the next best thing to airing yourself out and it gives you a chance to show off your footwear!

Real Girl Style

Lately I’ve found myself posting outfit that I’m just not proud of. After expressing some of my frustrations in Tuesday’s post I realized that that outfit in particular was one that could have skipped the publish button. Yes, my wardrobe might not be as expansive right now as the next girl but I’ve got to get it together and editing what I publish here on FabAve. I want to be proud of this little corner of the internet. Where has all the editing gone? I understand that I don’t have to post on a daily basis and this blog is geared toward real girl style but I’ve seriously got gain perspective again.

With all that said, here’s a real girl outfit that I do love. I like the layering effect of this look and if you haven’t noticed already I’m a fan of tighter tanks and tops around my belly. I love displaying the bump! If you’ve got it, flaunt it, am I right?

Get the Look: Skinnies/H&M Maternity [similar], Striped Tank/Old Navy Maternity [similar], Knit Tank/Target, Sandals/Old Navy, Clutch/Send the Trend (old), Bracelet/Persona (c/o),

The ‘WOW’ Factor

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s becoming really difficult to dress myself. Let me rephrase that statement: it’s becoming extremely tough to bring the ‘WOW’ factor in my daily outfits. This in turn is making it very problematic to be a source of inspiration here on FabAve. With a limited wardrobe and the strict shopping ban put in to effect (as of this weekend) getting dressed has develop into something I loathe. Now that’s not to say that I need a new item of clothing to seem current or on trend but something new always makes getting dressed more fun, am I right (materialism at its finest)? I really try to bring originality, inspiration, and novelty to each and every outfit I post here on Fabulously Average but my restrictions are just that, restrictions. I think I’ve stated before that this time in my pregnancy is a lot like a 30 for 30 challenge - remixing and re-working a certain collection of pieces to become new ensembles, and I’m realizing now that I’m just going to have to deal. So enjoy this mediocre look of a classic pairing of red and animal print. At least you can never go wrong with that combo;)

Thanks for visiting, friends!

Riding Dirty

This outfit was worn Saturday while the fella and I decided to take a stroll around our neighborhood. The weather was absolute perfection - sunny, warm, with the perfect little breeze. Jorts (jean shorts) and a tunic were natural selections for what to wear on an exploration trip around our suburban streets. A lay of the land, if you will. We’re hoping to expand our visibility to our neighbors because soon we’ll be one of the ‘them’. You know a family with kids. We’ll finally be accepted, lol.

In other news, can we please talk about how fab these classic Ray Ban Wayfarer sunnies are? You can never go wrong with iconic sunglasses like these, am I right? When the kind folks at SmartBuyGlasses sent them my way I was so excited! Living in sunny Arizona an arsenal of sun glasses is always necessary and the addition of the Wayfarer’s were a natural fit.

Oh and happy Earth Day!
