Baby Smith Is A...
Ninja! I mean, based on all the kicks I've been getting this week, that's the only explanation. Or maybe a Rockette. But they don't let guys into the Rockettes, so he's probably a ninja.
You read that right, our baby is a BOY! It's pretty exciting, except that boy names are completely impossible.
And if you are just here for the clothes, this outfit is a copycat of a copycat that I did last year. The original inspiration came from Whitney's Instagram post, and featured a blue cardigan. But then my blue cardigan was dirty, so I substituted my pink one. I still had in my mind that I wanted to wear this outfit with the blue cardigan, so I did this a few weeks ago. I much prefer the shirt shame-tucked, and the belt at my actual waist, but that's not happening these days, so I tried a higher belt, and didn't really like it. But I felt like I needed the belt to go with the boots, so it stayed. I might have to try this outfit again next January when I can (hopefully) wear a belt at the normal place!
Top: JCF (exact)
Cardigan: Old Navy
Belt: Gap (similar)
Skirt: Old Navy (similar, similar)
Tights: Old Navy
Boots: Madden (exact)
Congratulations on the baby boy! (see I can be more specific in my congratulations) I do like these items together. I'm having a hard time visualizing the pink, but I think it would be good together too. Maybe instead a necklace with a little wooden accent for the boots instead of needing the belt?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on going to be have a son.
ReplyDeleteHurray! Boy names aren't too bad at all! I am scared if we ever have another girl that we wouldn't be able to pick a name because we loved Claire so much (even had that name picked out 3 years before I was pregnant)!
ReplyDeleteYay, little boys are the best! Though I had a lot of trouble with names too... but you've got time :) Things start to get complicated for a while with belts - pretty soon you'll only be able to wear the shirt unbuttoned too, ha! But I love the combination with the striped skirt.
ReplyDeleteYay! As a new momma to a baby boy, I think they're pretty great. ;) We had a really hard time with names though too...best of luck to you guys as you go through them!
ReplyDeleteYou should name him Smith. Ha. jk. I'd go with something totally off the wall if I were you! Hooray for you and your baby ninja :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! I totally agree that boy names are so much harder than girl names. :) I think I had Adam talked into the only boy name I thought might work though, so we're good in case Sophia surprises us and turns out to be a boy hahaha. Good luck, and you look great!
ReplyDeleteSee and I think boy names are WAY easier than girl names! So excited for you guys, though!!
ReplyDeleteAhh congratulations! I mean, it sounds like you've already picked the name, Ninja Smith, right?
ReplyDeleteHahaha I'm with Inge- Ninja Smith! Or go all Pocahontas and name him John Smith. :P I say that, but you probably have like 5 John Smiths in your family already. lol. Congrats on your baby boy though! And I think the belt looks fine, but maybe try a skinnier belt and you may feel more comfortable?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your baby boy. For some reason the whole time I pictured it would be a boy. Almost all the pregnant bloggers I follow are currently expecting boys. Strange hmm?
ReplyDeletehaha i love how you revealed the gender to us, you are too much. yay for ninja babies! hopefully he is not causing you too much discomfort though! :) i always love seeing what looks you put together with this striped skirt!
ReplyDeleteAH! I am so excited for you!! A little boy! So exciting :) I'm a total self-professed name nerd and have tons of favorite names. Since Kevin and I are not planning to have children at this point, I won't be able to use any on any human babies, but I still think about it all the time, haha. Let me know if you need any suggestions or want any good websites to search for name ideas!
