30 Baby Things I Just Can't Handle Right Now...

With one day to go before Baby Jumping’s gender is revealed, I have taken the time curate a small gallery of baby clothes that I frankly just can’t handle right now.

Ladies first:

 

 

 

And now little gents:

 

 
And of course gender neutrals:

 

 

Baby Gap and Old Navy should probably just take my pay cheques directly from now on, because really, who needs food when you have the toes of an adorably dressed baby to munch on all day?

Thump Day

 

You know, Wednesday 'Hump Day' but with a T for Thursday?

Not cool, I know.

 

I have nothing to really talk about so instead I made a list:

 

1) I'm watching Downton Abbey. I'm on Season One Episode 5. I still don't know if I like it.

 

2) So I might not have mentioned this yet, but I got a headboard from Simon for Christmas. A DIY one! Well we finally bought the fabric for it. We plan on adding silver nailhead trim along the edge too. I'm awfully excited for the final product!

 

 

3) I bought a new dress for my friend's upcoming wedding reception. Finding a nice winter-appropriate dress is flipping hard! I plan on pairing it with black tights and shoes.

4) I'm reading The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. After reading Enclave, Outpost, Divergent and Insurgest this one is hard to get into but I'm sticking to it.

 

 

5) Last but not least, this made me laugh a little too much

If I had a million dollars - Mama's Holiday Clothing Edition

How many of you read the title of this post and immediately starting singing the Barenaked Ladies song in their heads? I know I did. But once I got over that, I then started thinking of all the things I could do with a million dollars. In today's day and age it truly wouldn't go THAT far but it certainly would help a sister out. 

 

In the spirit of being completely honest, I would probably blow a good portion of it on clothes and shoes... 

 

Ok so I'm a vain, superficial, selfish person yadda yadda... but at least I'm honest? 

 

I would also probably pay off my mortgage and debts (ugh), pay off our parents and siblings mortgages and debts, help put my brother through university or college, help my sister buy her own place, etc. You know, responsible things. 

 

But I sincerely think a lottery win is an apt opportunity to blow a small fortune on frivolous things. 'If I had a million dollars' will be a regular feature on this here blog so make sure to check in often and see what I would buy in the unlikely event I won a truckload of money.

 

This week's edition features just some of the many holiday appropriate clothes and accessories that I would buy if my bank account (and hubby) would allow it...

 Left to right: 

On the Other Side Green Statement Necklace ($19), Be A Lamb Cream Sparkle Sweater ($40), All My Lovin' Beige and Dark Green Lace Dress ($44), That's a Wrap Mint Long Sleeved Dress ($47), Novel-Tee Shop Burgundy Top ($30), Burmuda Bound Black Triangle Necklace ($20) LULUS Exclusive Office Party Blue Top, ($40), Tri-Ing Times Gold Triangle Necklace ($17) That's a Wrap Blue Long Sleeved Dress ($47), LULUS Exclusive Office Party Burgundy Top ($40), That's a Wrap Red Long Sleeved Dress ($47), Back to College Black and Ivory Cardigan Sweater ($56)

(All found at LULUS)

 

You probably noticed that nothing I chose would qualify as 'expensive'. What can I say, I'm a cheapo through and through. You can get way more stuff if it costs less. Feel free to add 'greedy' to my growing list of attributes. I'm ok with it. 
 

According to my calculations, if I were to buy all the items listed above it would total a mere $447. Peanuts (if I won the lottery...).

Have a lovely Tuesday!
