@22 WeeksΞ Remember a few weeks ago when we woke up to snow–in April! Well, I had quite the sartorial decision ahead of me. I did NOT want to wear black or heavy clothes and I didn’t have that many snow-appropriate clothes that fit me. So, what’s a girl to do (My first thought–just stay home and sulk–wasn’t really an option) Solution: winter boots + cute dress with a dash of colour.

This outfit started from top to bottom. Boots: over 5 years old, but great in wet and slippery conditions. We have a love hate relationship–I love that they keep me from falling down, but hate the wide square toe. After 5 years (including 2 intense Boston winters) they have really held up. I decided thick tights and a layered-up dress combo was the only way to keep it springy. I love orange and brown and the big deco-ish pattern on this dress. It’s also 4 or 5 years old and usually a go-to dress for lazy summer days. And once again, this outfit is 90% non-maternity despite a pretty significant bump.
