I've Plaid Enough


 Well, it definitely seems like forever since I have posted, but I did have our baby girl and she's beautiful and perfect and we didn't know how incomplete our family was without her. I'm hoping to start posting more regularly again, but can't make any promises.

Today's pictures are of a vintage Kerrybrook plaid shirtwaist dress I actually purchased while pregnant and couldn't wait to wear afterwards. So, at our daughter's first check up with the pediatrician I wore it.

I've always loved plaids and the colors of this plaid are actually more vivid in person and not so dull  looking.

Shirtwaist dresses are awesome for breastfeeding as that usually makes wearing most dresses impossible, and a fuller skirt is a good way to hide that mommy tummy. ;)


We've just been trying to get back to some kind of normal around here and re-figure life out with four kids. We've gotten back to a similar schedule, are homeschooling again, and her older brothers and sister can't get enough of her. But some changes had to be made, like a bigger vehicle, more stuff to carry everywhere and this last week a cold has went through our house. Just the everyday craziness.


I'm going to shift the focus of this blog more away from just outfit posts and hope to blog more about sewing and about just being a mom, but there will be vintage clothing still involved. I hope that doesn't make anyone upset or annoyed, but that's my life right now, so that's what I'm going to blog about.

Do you love plaid as much as I do?

  1. Congratulations! I think bloggers should talk about whatever they want, but from a purely selfish point of view, as a soon-to-be-mum, I'm happy to hear all about it! I appreciated today's breastfeeding fashion advice - I've just started thinking about what I will wear when my little one is born. It somehow hadn't really occurred to me before. I guess there are lots of other things to be thinking about!

    1. Congratulations to you, too!
      Plan ahead everything you can. I found that having some clothing that was my preferred style I could wear post partum improved my outlook and even emotional state.
      Praying you have a safe and easy delivery and that mommy and baby are well.

    Plaid is awesome!!! I love it all year round, especially when shades of red and/or blue are involved. I have plaid dresses, plaid shirts/blouses, plaid skirts, and even a plaid bangle bracelet! :)

  4. Congratulations! Two boys and two girls is called "a rich man's family." I think it's rich in relationships, which is where life is at! We had the same, and felt very blessed.

    Please do write about your everyday life. We love to hear those things.

    1. Thank you so much! I will definitely tell my husband we have a rich man's family, lol. It's truly a blessing sand I'm trying to savor each moment they're little. I'm afraid I will wake up and they'll be grown.
