Sometimes . . . .

dress: discovery   leggings: old navy  sandals: target

Sometimes I get lucky and find something in my closet that fits my very pregnant belly like this striped dress.
While I do still have ten days left till my due date, sometimes I feel like this baby is going to stay in my belly forever.   Sometimes Chris and I do something really fun like go to an outdoor concert, bring dinner and sit and listen to bluegrass music.  
Sometimes I wonder if blogging is a good use of my time. 
Sometimes I get a small glimpse of my hip bones and hips and get excited to see them again.   

Sometimes I love how a simple craft project turns out.  I made these vases to thank some of the woman at my shower who have prayed for and encouraged me.
Sometimes I get lucky and get to introduce you to a blogging friend that I've had for awhile who is talking about her favorite summer items, plus giving someone a chance to win an Old Navy gift card for $25!  I've loved getting to know Brianne this last year, and love her blog mixed with recipes, crafts, outfits and life.  She always leaves me the sweetest comments and emails.  Plus every time she posts a picture on instagram I want her hair.  

Hey there!  I am Brianne and I blog over at Being Bracco.  I am a newlywed living on the West Coast with my handsome husband in our new home.  Over here you will see new recipes, tons of pictures of my adorable furry children,  my attempts at being crafty, sharing favorite pieces from my closet, and even get to know my personal struggles and triumphs.

Katie's blog was one of the first I followed and had me hooked from day numero uno!  I just love her sweet personality and her style.  Oh her cute style...  Lately, she thinks her pictures have contained a lot of maxi themes, but I look at them and think, "Yes!  Another adorable maxi!!"  

When I find styles that I really like, they kind of become a very common occurrence that you will see on me.  So here are 6 things that you will see me wear pretty much this whole season.

1.  Maxi Skirts/Dresses - Well this is just a given...half of my closet (just like Katie's) is being taken over my maxi's...and how can they not?  They are super comfortable and adorable for any occasion!

2.   V Neck T-Shirts - Because nothing says comfy casual like a v neck and cute maxi.  That is my "go to" comfy work style.  Also, pairing a cute t-shirt with some colored skinnies or shorts can complete any Summer outfit.

3.  Statement Necklaces - What don't statement necklaces add to an outfit??  Especially a great colored statement.  You will rarely find me without one over any outfit.

4.  Bright Painted Toes - My toes (or "talons" as my husband calls them) will never be seen peeking out from my sandals without a good bright color on!  I should buy stock in Essie.

5.  Chambray - I don't know what it is about me and my love for everything chambray lately...but it goes with any bright colored bottom, added statement necklace, and even a maxi...total win win for this season.

6.  Colored Shorts - With this California heat being something fierce right now, hitting up Old Navy shorts sales was on top of my list.  Stocking up on great bright colors.   Add a cute tank or v neck t-shirt, flats and you have a great Summer look!

So enjoy adding some great pieces to your closet this season! (I know I am)

And stop by over at Being Bracco sometime...Love to have you!

Thank you Brianne!  I definitely am wearing tee shirts, maxi dresses and sandals on repeat these days.  And probably would almost as much if I wasn't pregnant.  Today Brianne is giving you a chance to win a $25 gift card to Old Navy!  That could definitely buy you a new maxi skirt and a new tee shirt!
