Currently... by preppy-lizzy featuring a black ceramic mug

My favorite post of the month is back. It's time for March's Currently edition.

Reading: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I am a huge fan of the movie and always wanted to read the book, so I decided what time is better than the present. The great thing about having it on my Kindle is that I never have to carry around a big book!

Eating: Wonderful FroYo. Soft serve has been my absolute favorite lately. Whether its frozen yogurt, ice cream or a Frosty from Wendy's. It's so satisfying.

Listening: Disney tunes. I drove 3.5 hours back and forth to a conference last weekend and I rocked out to Disney all the way. I am already looking forward to singing Disney music with my girl in the car.

Watching: House of Cards. Honestly, who isn't? I hope that they will decide to do a fourth season... Whose with me?

Craving: Of sleep! My best sleep has been in the AM when baby girl is finally asleep with me. I also think my energy is starting to ramp back down as I head into the tail end of my second trimester. No good!

Dreaming: Of my baby girl. Her nursery is coming together. We just still need to finish decorating. Right now the paint and furniture are all in place. I am also working on making her knit baby blocks and a chevron baby blanket. I love being crafty when it comes to her.

Picking an Outfit

Picking An Outfit by preppy-lizzy featuring white shelves

Is it just me or is trying to get an outfit selected each morning a challenge at times. Maybe it's partially because my closet is so diminished while I am in maternity wear or because I have pregnancy brain 24/7, but for the last few months I have gotten into the habit of selecting my outfit the night before.

While this has backfired on my a few times (once when I had an interview for a promotion at work and found out that I could no longer button up any of my non-maternity button ups), for the most part it's been a lifesaver. I wore a uniform growing up so its similar to my mornings as a kid, where I didn't need to worry about what I was wearing that day. I am also more of a night owl, so picking out my clothes each evening is so much easier.

Because I save time in getting dressed from the shower now, I also do better about remembering my accessories. I allow myself to choose my jewelry and jacket, if needed, each day once I am dressed and I am still out the door faster than ever before.

What's your biggest tip for picking your outfits everyday?

Little girl's clothes are just dreamy. And its fun to lust after some beautiful pieces from the amazing brand Janie and Jack. I was able to visit their outlet this past weekend and the nice thing is that you can snag pieces that are still in store at a minimum of 25% off the retail price up to 60% off. It's nice because unlike so many other outlets, the pieces are current and new. Here are just a few of the pieces I am loving right now. I would say that its best to purchase their larger sizes (I looked at just 12+ plus for almost everything, since I wanted to get the most out of each wear). Also the sales lady did tell me that typically their dresses run big, which is great to know for this first time mom.
