Hot Necks

 

The scarf trend is on a roll and I have officially jumped on the bandwagon.

  I have always loved the look of a white t-shirt with a scarf but I never thought I could pull it off.

Well I discovered Audrey's blog : Putting Me Together about a month ago and she inspired me to try it out. Here are a couple of her outfits I love that gave me some major confidence.

 

 

Leopard scarves should be a closet staple.
 I bought one on ebay for $2.99 free ship.... yes you read that right. :0)

 

 

 

She makes it look so chic!!

(She has awesome tips on her blog about how to remix your wardrobe)

 

 

 

Here are some scarves that have caught my eye

 

Lightweight Printed Scarves
Can you tell I want all three of these?

 I could probably show you hundreds I like but I'll stick with those for now

25 Weeks

 

 

So it's been a fun and lazy weekend at the Casa De Berry's.

Well at least until Mallie had a fever yesterday evening. Boooo!

 

So for those who know me and my lack of coordination,  this cartoon is totally me.

 

 

 

 

I fell when I was 33 weeks pregnant with Brett which thus caused pre-term labor/bedrest.

 So lets just pray my feet don't decide to betray me during this pregnancy as well.
