Yesterday. Yesterday was: Waking up to little kicks. A delicious lunch with Daddio. A chocolate dipped cone for dessert. And rain! Finally rain! We have been desperate for rain around these parts. Then a long nap on the couch. A lot of reading and lots more of “feeling pregnant” if you know what I mean. More little kicks. A lot more kicks, actually. Baby boy wants us to know his presence already. Oh, we know, little one, and we love it so. A lazy dinner of leftovers from lunch, and a long hot shower, and clean wet hair. A slathering of coconut oil. Ending the night on the couch next to my love was the end to a pretty darn good day, if you ask me.
In fashion-related news, after hearing that the Pantone color of the year is radiant orchid, I was like, oh yes. I got this in the bag. How fun are these purple… I’m sorry… “radiant orchid” tights?! Of course I had to pair them with my favorite color ever: grey. Grey everything. I love it. It’s definitely the color I gravitate toward, always. This tunic from Riffraff is super comfy, too. Which is basically my number one priority these days. It must be a.) cute and b.) comfortable. If it’s not both of those things, I ain’t wearing it. And that’s that.
How was your yesterday?
Would you rock purple tights?
What’s your favorite color to wear?

Love your cutesy tights! I’m a huge neutrals fanm and when through a phase where I tried to buy more color and wear more brights and then I decided I like neutrals too much (: Love your blog!
Katie
Ha! I like neutrals too much, too. It’s okay. As long as we add pops of color here and there, we’re good. ;)

Sounds like baby boy is going to be demanding attention as soon as he comes out! And I totally would wear those tights. I love how you paired then with the grey tunic because it doesn’t look too crazy, it’s just enough drama!
Katie
Oh, I have no doubts he will be taking ALL of our attention! And I am perfectly okay with that ;)

Emily
I have tights in almost every color imaginable, thanks to target ;) lol and grey, totally my go to for most of my clothes! It goes perfect with everything & SO easy to dress up or down with other random pops of color!
enjoy those baby kicks while he’s in there, I seriously miss feeling Avery move around in my tummy. But it’ll be so exciting when you get to see the little person you’ve been feeling kick at you for so long!
Katie
Girl, my tights collection is ridiculous, too! They’re too much fun! I can’t even imagine what it’s going to feel like when I see him for the first time- my heart will most certainly explode! :) And I know you’re right- I will definitely miss these little kicks!

I love gray and purple together. Such a pretty color combo, especially in winter!
Katie
Ahh I agree! One of my favorite color combos!

Beka
Yes to purple tights! I own so many tights I don’t even know how many I have. I probably have 3 pairs of pink / fuschia tights.
Katie
Haha oh wow! That’s a great collection of tights, if you ask me. :) It’s like nail polish or shoes: you can never have too many!

I surprisingly really like this outfit. I never wear tights, and am not really a fan, but this is just a super cute outfit! And ugh, I was so happy when the rain happened!! I was hoping for more days of it though :(. Agreed girl, gray is just a great color. It goes with everything. My favorite color to wear is Bright blue, it makes my eyes, and I like to add little bits of it to my outfit :) Have a great weekend :)
Katie
I knowww the rain was so nice and then BOOM! Sunny today! wtf?! And I love wearing blue too! Gotta make them eyes POP! :)

Katie
I love that color of purple! It is one of my favorites to wear :)
