Autumn Love

Today was perfect weather. I mean PERFECT! 

The sun was bright and light poured through the spaces in between brilliant shades of ruby, amber and gold leaves. 

There was a slight crispness to the air, and the sky was a pure azure. Honestly I gasped more than once driving home at the sheer beauty of an Atlanta Autumn.

I am smitten with this moment.

And I am smitten with this outfit. I wore it to go to work today, and I was so very comfortable. This is going into heavy rotation.

 

 Top- Wallis (UK Brand, my mum bought it for me)

Jeans- Forever 21+

Boots- Ross

Tank- Target

 

Bonus outtake (Living next to a hospital has it's downfalls sometimes)

Falling for you

This Falls trends are not really my thing. (Except the Polka Dots, of course)

A puffy jacket is not needed in Atlanta, nor wanted in my wardrobe.

 I think pajamas should stay in the bedroom.

 A leather t-shirt seems highly high maintenance.

 Oxblood washes me out.

And I have tried to embrace the skinny leg trouser/jean, but alas, my body does not feel flattered. I am a die hard wide leg/flared leg kind of girl, and although this means I can not buy a pair of trousers until the fashion world decides to be on my side it will not hinder my love of all things Autumn. 

Here is the inspiration I'm using to put together my Fall outfits this year.

Maxi skirts and graphic tees a-la Charlotte Rouge

Polka Dots in not so obvious places

Chiffon dresses with suede boots

Pretty prints

 

Wearing these boots as much as possible

Sequins for daytime

Home sewn elbow patches

Pumpkin colors

Special flat shoes

It's Fall Y'all

Top-Forever 21+

Tank- Motherhood maternity

Skirt- GAP

Boots- Ross

Belt- ASOS Curve

I don't know where the time is going, but it's going and fast.

Yesterday me and my family went for a walk around Candler Park, the weather was beautiful. Even though it was 80 degrees, the leaves were falling, there was a breeze and I got to wear my Fall boots. Hooray! In HOTlanta you take your opportunities while you can.

My post baby body is different to how it used to be. My hips are wider, my belly is squishy in a way it hasn't been before, and my breasts are so tender that they only want to be in a soft sleep bra. This makes my pre-baby clothes fit differently; and honestly it's hard to get used to.

 It may just be the sleep deprivation, or my body needing more time to heal, but I don't feel great in my skin. I think once I get back into working out I'll feel better (I hope I have the energy somehow), or I may just need time to adjust to my new shape. We shall see. I am actually very proud of what my body has accomplished, so I shouldn't beat myself up, I just need time...and until then I shall belt flowy tops to define my waist and wear "Look at me" footwear. 

I'm so in love with these fringed boots. A major score at Ross for $30!

Any Moms out there feel the way I do? Does it get better?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

C'est La Vie

C'est La Vie means "That's life" in French.

I wore this shirt today to remind myself not to sweat the small stuff.
