Mamanista Friday: Plaid

I have been seeing that Plaid is the new fall trend.  I have always liked plaid, but don't really own any now.  So I guess ya'll know what's on my next shopping trip list!! 

This challenge was a bit harder for me, but I did find some plaid to rock today.  This plaid look is courtesy of my amazing supervisor Louis!

Everyone is rocking plaid, especially shirts.  They are so versatile and can be worn with just about any type of bottom

OOTD: 6th and Lane

It was a drabby weekend in Atlanta, but I still managed to get cute and out of the house.  When I first heard the 6th and Lane collection was coming to Lane Bryant, I was excited due to the quality and sophistication of the line.  So of course, I had to get me a few pieces!

 

Top: Lane Bryant 6th and Lane, Pants: Nordstrom, Shoes: DSW, Accesories: Old, Bag: LV 

OOTD: All White Everything!!



Like I said before, the week before Labor Day, I wear all my white to make sure I get it in before summers offical last day. However, since I live in the south, I will still be rocking some of the pieces.

OOTD: Cas-U-AL Cal

I hope everyone enjoyed that beautiful extended 4th weekend.  Mom Dukes and granny came down, so I had to dress casual to be able to keep up with these ladies!  So my OOTD is all cotton, and I added the jean jacket just to keep arms warm while out in the cold stores shopping. 

 Jacket: Lane Bryant, Tank: Target, Skirt: Target, Shoes: Shoe warehouse, Bag: Michael Kors, Accessories: Verona

Mamanista Fridays: Graphic Tee

i am so not the Tshirt chic.  I only own a few, and I just throw them on around the house.  This weeks challenge is Graphic Tees.  So I'm digging though all my top trying to find a tee that would go well with this challenge.  Well I come across my Tshirt from Halloween 3 years ago when I was part of the group Run DMC.  That shirt is kinda hot, so I decided to try it out for this challenge.

Jacket: Lane Bryant, Tee: Made w/tee from Old Navy, Pants: Macy's, Shoes: JustFab 

Weekend Style: OOTD Maxi Skirt

I hope everyone had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!  And thank you to all the troops for your work and dedication to this country!

This weekend, I spent time with family in Indianapolis for the weekend.  Mister, Morgan and I had a chance to hang out with my mother, grandmother, aunts, and cousins.  Indy is not as warm as ATL, so I decided to rock out my maxi skirts.

Jacket: Lane Bryant, Tee: Family Dollar, Skirt: Indy Boutique, Shoes: Target, Bag: Coach, Necklace: Verona 

OOTD: Weekend Style

This weekend was such a gorgous one in Atlanta.  It was a bit cooler on Saturday, so I decided to rock some spring colors!!

Mamanista Friday: Dressing up Gym Shoes

This week's challenge is styling gyms shoes.  This was really a challenge for me.  I am not sure about you ladies, but I really hardly ever wear gyms.  I own 2 pairs, and they barely ever see the light of day!  But this is my simple gym shoe look, which will go well with Mommy and me shopping day that Morgan and I are having today!!!

 Top: Old Navy, Jeans: Lane Bryant, Converse: Target, Accessories: Verona

 

Mamanista Fridays: Pastels

Springtime is here!  Well, at least in theory it is, but time for color!!!  Easter is fast approaching and we all know that this season is pastel season.  For today's challenge, the look is pastels.  I don't have a lot of pieces in these colors; I the colors in dresses.  It's springtime rainy in ATL, so pants it is!

Mamanista Fridays: Curvie is Sporty Chic

Its friday and time for another edition of Mamanista Fridays on The Babyshopaholic.  Each week, a theme is chosen and fabolous mothers everywhere get a chance to showcase how fly they are and can be!!! 

This weeks look is Sporty Chic . . . . . .

 

 

OOTD: Asos and Shoe Dazzle

Another OOTD featuring Asos.  When I was on maternity leave sitting in the house, I did all my shopping online.  Asos always has a good deal to be found.  I got this dress for the summer, but decided I would "Winterize My Wardrobe Wednesday" for ya'll today.

 

Something to Chirp About: Statement Sweaters

Happy Fridays ladies and gents.  I have seen a new fall trend that I want to share with ya'll.  It seems that this fall, statement sweaters are the way to go.  I wasnt to sure about it at first, but through my research I have found some really cute ones that I think we all can agree upon.
