Monday Round Up: Lips + Lashes / My Monochromatic Life

Happy Monday! This weekend was a bit of a whirlwind in some ways. A lot happened both in our country and my life this weekend. I would be remiss if I did not mention the Women's Marches all over the country this Saturday. Although I did not get a chance to march, I wholeheartedly support the efforts of the women and men who made their voices heard. I hope we continue to make our voices heard in productive ways as this is our proud right and the privilege of Americans.

Ok political note over. As I said the weekend was busy for me too. After work on Friday I squeezed in a quick work out before coming to our nephew's hockey game. He is at the age now where they play a full game, keep score and have penalties. It is definitely more fun watching this way and seeing him go from early days to have formations and he even scored a goal! It was pretty cool and I'm glad we could go.

Saturday I had grand intentions of getting a lot more done. We got up , hit the gym, ran to the store and did a little house cleaning. Our house was a veritable pigsty. I couldn't take it anymore and we had some friends coming over the next day. We did not get as much done as I had hoped because D had to get fitted for a suit for my sister's wedding. We went to the Wedding Shoppe in St Paul and I tagged along so we could grab dinner after. I dropped D off and then went to visit the local Primp location. I had never been to the St. Paul location and was excited to check it out. I ran into Jamie, who I got to meet for the first time at the Innovations MN fashion show, and it was fun to see her. The store was amazing, per usual, and I snagged two sweaters that you will on the blog soon. I also snapped a fitting room selfie cause #bloggerlife. Afterwards we hit up the local Axel's bonfire for dinner. The service was kind of painfully slow. Not sure what was going on but we were there for about 2 hours. Oh well it was worth it. At 36 weeks pregnant now, not sure when is the next time we'll get to go out to eat.

Sunday I had intentions of doing yoga, but I woke up and my body was like "nope." So I did not. We had some friends coming over around 11:00 AM to brew some beer. I am excited this time because that brew will be ready when I am done with pregnancy and I can drink it :) Whoo hoo! My other pregnant friend came over too and we basically talked pregnancy/babies for hours. She is only about 2 weeks behind me so we are experiencing the same thing at the same time. It was good to have some uninterrupted time to talk about stuff and not worry we are annoying the group, ha. Afterwards D and I binge watched some Breaking Bad and the pups were all tuckered out.

Overall a good but busy weekend. Next weekend will be probably more boring as we intend to keep it low key until baby's arrival.

This weekend I tried out my new tee that has been on the wishlist for sometime. It's not a maternity tee and it fits a little snug, but I just couldn't wait. I seriously love it so hard and can't wait for it to fit better post-pregnancy. I love the lashes and lipstick, which is perfect for me. Some co-workers were kind of jokingly talking about if I could keep up my make up routine after pregnancy. Fingers crossed I can. It was a good casual look for the weekend especially because the weather has been on the warmer side. I paired it with my leather vest, that frankly I do not get to wear enough. With my fav maternity jeans from ASOS and these slip ons from Target it was the perfect casual look for a night out on Saturday. For me, what is great about this look is that I would wear this same exact thing if I was not pregnant. There is a way to stay fashionable pregnant and I have seen other blogger ladies do it well. I am just happy to have found a way to continue to show my style throughout this time.
