Linking up with Rosie and the rest!
We’re having our first heat wave in new England this weekend—indices getting to 90+ every day. Thankfully, the parish my husband and I attend has central a/c (I told him that was a requirement. Props/hat-tip/courtsey to all the ladies who make it to church with no cooling dressed appropriately.
Dress: A spaghetti strap number from Columbia. At one point when I got it a few years ago it had SPF and even some water resistance. It’s so comfy, and nearly perfect for 3 months pregnant me, what with the roomy skirt. But the built-in panel around the bust just kills me now. Add in the stuffing myself at the monthly young couples’ potluck afterward, and I knew it was time to retire it. It went straight into the “nope bin” after Mass along with the rest of my wardrobe.
Shrug: Old Navy knit. I LOVE shrugs. So perfect for tossing over “inappropriate” work/church clothes.
That black thing: What I call “modesty tabs”…you just hook them onto bra straps and volia! coverage! So much better than layering a full tank/camisole on the warm days. And I got them (a pack of three–black, white, and tan) with one of my many CVS coupons!
Sandals: IDK…Payless? Or Old Navy? I don’t pay much attention to where I get them.
I hope you’ll permit me to do this, but I wrote a book about a young teen girl who loves fashion–and her faith–and I’m giving it away! 5 signed copies of Ten Commandments for Kissing Gloria Jean. Enter the link below. Thanks!

I love “that black thing!” I’ve never seen anything like that. I will definitely have to keep my eyes open for something like that – I’m okay now but it seems like 90% of maternity things are deep v cuts. Why?!
Makes zero sense. I found mine at CVS of all places. Set of three: black, nude, and white.
I had the exact same problem with my dress today! It barely buttoned around my ribs, and it’s going into storage once it’s clean! I always forget about how much bigger my ribs get…
I love shrugs, too! I have a tough time finding them – I need more, but mostly I just give up and wear wide straps because anything with sleeves makes me feel like I’m going to pass out once summer temperatures hit 😦 Thanks for linking up!!
Thanks for hosting!
I was just thinking of inventing something like that black thing–thank you for sharing about it! I’m going to scour the internet now to find one!!! You look so lovely!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your baby!! 🙂
Thanks!
