New Closet Additions :: April

April is always a fun shopping month for me because... it's my birthday MONTH! Yes, I use the entire month of April as an excuse to celebrate my birthDAY.  This year was particularly crazy due to the fact that we moved on Easter weekend, so my birthday took second place to the excitement of our move.  I'll have to do another whole post on that.  Anywho, I added some fun new spring/summer pieces to my closet this month and I'm super excited about it.

New Closet Additions: February

New basics are always fun to add to my closet because I know they will be worn often. I had been eyeing these Gap jeans for a while and finally pulled the trigger. They're a very blue jean :) I love how skinny and stretchy they are, but they do seem to stretch out quickly. I like them best right out of the dryer. I spotted this black dress in target and knew I would snag it once it went on sale. I plan to wear it at a bridal shower soon and maybe even the wedding too- it has a great, girly shape. The dark jeans are fine... They are cheap and they work, but again they feel like they stretch out easily...wish I would've sized down. The earrings were an impulse buy because jcrew can't advertise free shipping on any purchase without me finding something.  The Loft silk top was also an impulse, but hopefully it will get good wear. Its comfy, can dress up jeans and be worn throughout the seasons. Win.

1. Gap Jeggings. $25 after GapCash

2. Target Merona Cap-sleeved Dress. $18

3. Target Mossimo Dark Skinny Jeans. $18

Some nursery ideas.

Some of you might have already seen these room boards as apparently I'm not so technically savvy and posted them as I was creating... Whoops.

We will be finding out our baby's gender in a few short weeks so I'm getting anxious about getting started on some decor! Being completely indecisive (per usual), I bought 2 rugs at Ikea over the weekend similar to the ones below. Thy we're only $20 each! Most of the furniture below is similar to stuff I have already, so I'm going to try to incorporate those things. The wooden alphabet art is something I'm going to attempt myself, so we'll see how that goes!

I need some help-- black or white crib?! I want it to be gender neutral. Obviously, I'm leaning  toward black, but I'm not convinced.
