Modernized 1970s Bohemian

Welcome to 2016!!! It's going to be fabulous for many reasons. These are my top 3:

1). It's an even number year, which for some reason I always seem to prefer.
2). We have a trip planned to Hawaii in 6 weeks. It was originally just a work conference for Corey, but we extended it to turn it into a mini "baby-moon."
3). And of course, most exciting family news for 2016 so far, Baby DuPont should be born sometime this April.

This weekend I broke down and headed to Motherhood Maternity for a few staple pieces. I have enjoyed the belly band for my non-maternity pants, but I have to admit this work around is not as comfortable  as actual maternity pants. I've also received multiple maternity hand-me-downs from friends and family, which has been such a gift. Some of them fit great and others not so much, which is why I decided to purchase some staple pieces on my own. Between the belly band, hand-me-downs and my own purchases I now have lots of maternity and non-maternity options to mix and match.

Maternity Staples:

• Fitted solid t-shirts (I tried non-maternity shirts for a while, but they just aren't long enough. Non-maternity loose t-shirts or baggy sweaters are great though.)
• Skinny jeans or whatever style jean you prefer
•  Layering camis (Santa brought me some, they are wonderfully because they're long and perfect for hiding your belly button if it's starting to pop out haha)

I also bought a pair of crazy patterned work pants, but I wouldn't really consider those a staple. They were on sale and too fabulous to pass up. Can't wait to wear them next week!!!

This weekend I kept it casual and ended up piecing together this modernized 70's Bohemian look:

Long Sleeved T-Shit: Motherhood Maternity ($19.98), Skinny Jeans: Motherhood Maternity ($39.98)

Lace Vest: Bohme (non-maternity), Boots: Ether (Portland, OR)

My actual life hahaha

Some of you might be wondering if I plan to post a Bombshells of 2015 list. The short answer? Yes. But, this year I am doing something a little different, which is going to take a little more time and research. Stay tuned, the list will come out I promise. Keep yourself entertained by viewing last year's list "Bombshells of 2014" here.
