thrifty threads: maternity style at a rock show

Chris & I headed into town to see Jesus Culture with some friends last weekend, and we had a blast. I asked him to snap a few photos of me before we left because hello, I put on lipstick! The camera died as soon as he pushed the button. Go figure. Go iPhone!

Star Wars tee // Goodwill
stretch belt // vintage, my grandmother’s
skinny jeans, Gap maternity // hand-me-down
sandals, Saltwater // Amazon
handbag, Kate Spade // Kate Spade online

This evening was also document-worthy because it was my new handbag’s first outing. It was on my wishlist for months, and I recently discovered that it had gone on sale. I sent Chris a text message that said something like, “I know you’re in charge of the money now, but I’d like you to prayerfully consider letting me buy this bag.” I was honestly joking, because accessories for Momma are so not on the shopping list right now.

You can read for yourself the conversation that transpired as a result…
Let’s just say I married a keeper!

      Ha! I’m surrounded by men who love it, so it’s just part of the gig I guess.

    1. You’re adorable.
    2. That.purse.is.AMAZING!

    Mothers day and my 30th bday are in the same week. I may have to make a suggestion to my hubby. I’ve been rocking a consignment Nine West bag for a couple of years. I think it’s time for an upgrade. :-)

      Seriously… TREAT YO SELF. Best habit I’ve picked up as a mom, for real. One or two nice splurges per year have made ALL the difference in the world, as far as feeling appreciated and like an individual with my own desires/identity. Make sense?

    • Reply Courtney May 6, 2013 at 12:42 PM

      Oh yes. Perfect sense. I did get a super cute Timi & Leslie diaper bag (priase the Lord for a generous sister), but it’s still….a diaper bag.
