How to wear blue velvet this winter.I can’t believe I am 30 weeks pregnant! This week always feels like such a milestone to me, only 7 more weeks until a full term pregnancy (the goal this go round).  This pregnancy has literally flown by and I am now in full on panic mode!  For those of you that have been following along for a while, you will remember Knox surprising us when my water broke at 34 weeks.  As you can imagine, I am praying this baby cooks a little longer, but hoping to be ready just in case in just four short weeks.  In case anyone is wondering, I haven’t done a single thing to get ready for this baby!  (Gasp!)  I guess I was just thinking another baby boy, I got this.  But it’s time to get busy on this boys’ nursery and get to organizing all Knox’s old things so I can see what all we need.

Oh, and about this dress.

I actually ordered this dress to pack for NYFW, but it didn’t arrive in time to make it into my suitcase.  It worked out for the better though because once I saw it in person, it definitely has a more wintery feel than I originally imagined.  Now that it is officially November, I thought I could finally bring it out. 😉  It isn’t maternity, but the swing a-line fit flows over my bump and I will be able to continue enjoying it next year, as well.

I love blues for the winter.  It is a less expected color than other jewel tones like green and burgundy, but it is just as rich and beautiful!
