Typical maternity outfit? Not so much. But hellooo autumn!!! I’ve been waiting a while for the LA heat wave to subside and it seems like it finally has a tad which allows me to reintroduce boots and sweaters into the mix!

“Splurging” on Affordable Fashion
Is it crazy to say that I splurged on a sweatshirt at H&M? It’s definitely odd coming from me and is unlike my usual “this was a steal at H&M!” but this sweatshirt stared me down in all its beaded glory and I knew I had to have it. I love the colors, the pattern, and the chainmail-like weight of it (yes, it’s super heavy). So, what’s your price limit on an utterly-covet-worthy-but-deep-down-still-just-a-pullover-cotton-sweatshirt?
Burgundy bump in BH
Nothing makes me happier than finding a perfectly-tailored [non-maternity] silk blouse that accommodates a bump perfectly. I got this on sale at a department score closing, but luckily you still can too since it’s marked down on Amazon!
For Love and Lemons SKIVVIES Party
Last Thursday I attended the second annual For Love and Lemons SKIVVIES lingerie party where their new collection of super-sexy lace and mesh pieces were put on live display (you can also check out my coverage of their launch last year here).
Wrapped in Ribbon
A few weeks ago I came across this non-maternity tunic while perusing the sale section at Anthropologie. The length was perfect to pair with maternity pants or leggings, and I love that this bright pink stripe across my belly is like ribbon on a present!
Happy 4th!
One year ago today I started Catching Couture to share my shopping tricks, bargain finds, and styling tips. It has been so much fun watching the blog grow and mature… and I am so excited to see how the next phase unfolds. Be on the lookout for some big changes next week! Can’t wait to share them. :)
Have a very happy 4th of July,

Summer Sunshine
Summer officially begins tomorrow, so I busted out my sunshiny-yellow dress and my brightest purse for a fun, ready-to-wear-out look!
Fringe Benefits
I cut my own hair… I also cut my own denim (though, I can’t claim credit for these awesome fringed shorts). They are perfect for the warm weather and add some serious flair to an otherwise tame outfit.
Le Motto of the Day
I am running around like a crazy person this week. Appointments, back to back work deadlines, and I’m off to New York tomorrow! (and I haven’t even thought about packing!!!) Although Le Motto’s “live more, worry less” shirt is probably better suited for my hectic week, I am wearing my fav tank of theirs that says, “Accept More, Judge Less.” I’ll do my best to keep that in mind!
Kickin’ it on the playground
This outfit epitomizes my shopping/styling philosophy – a little T.J.Maxx, a little vintage, a little H&M, and a little designer sample sale-ing…
