Vera's Room

When we moved to Newburgh 3 years ago, I was about 8 months pregnant with Vera.  Her room needed the most amount of work.  Several layers of wallpaper and all dark wood trim:
 That wallpaper was horrible!  It even took some of the wall with it, so we had someone come and smooth out the walls before we painted. Paint Color: Falling Star from Porter Paints
Here is how Vera's nursery looked after lots of work...

 And then after she got a little bit older, we moved things around a bit.  Here is what it looks like today (when it's clean after her twenty outfit changes a day!)

Stitch Fix #10- Review

Oops- I missed Fix #9 which was so good! I wanted some pieces that I could wear halfway through my pregnancy, but also throughout the summer after having Bauer.  They picked two great shirts that were long enough to cover my belly (well until the last month or so!) and they weren't maternity so I can still wear them now!



After a successful Fix #9, I waited until Bauer was born & also for some referral credits!! so that I could get my next shipment.  There is nothing more awkward than post-baby clothing style & fit... you hate to buy something that will be too big even after a few weeks, but nothing fits just right! I updated my profile and left a message for my stylist with some details.  She sent the sweetest note & styling ideas in Fix #10 ...

I loved these Toms espadrille flats and I still am sad I sent them back :) The color was great & super comfy, just out of my prize range!

This next one was a thin sweater that was super long and had a hood.  It is really comfortable!  I kept this one because it provided good coverage for awkward fitting clothing post-pregnancy.  It will be perfect for traveling and thin enough for summer evenings.
 This next top was black and dark grey- the softest fabric ever!  I didn't love the fit but the back detailing was cute.



The top above was a great fit- I just didn't like the snakeskin pattern :)
The other top I chose was this pretty emerald one...

It is a cool lightweight fabric for summer, nursing-friendly and one of my favorite colors to wear!

Thanks Stitch Fix for another great shipment of clothes & for the great discount after referral credit! I'm ready to try out some summer sandals or a maxi dress in my next Fix!
