Express floral maxi strolls the city

May 17, 2017

Floral maxi Express

My husband is an explorer at heart. On days off, we often drive around town sight seeing or looking for cool hidden spots, and that works perfectly with me being a blogger. I just tag along and get to have my photos taken at the prettiest spots in the city. One of the favorite outfits I love wearing for a day out exploring with the hubs has got to be a maxi dress. I just throw a distressed denim jacket over it to dress it down, perfect as a casual day look. And if we happen to go out to dinner that night, bring with me some heels, and a nice sequin clutch and I’m good to go!

This floral maxi dress has all the prettiest details I’ve seen in a maxi dress. If you know me, my style is very feminine, and this dress hits all the right spots. The floral print that is gorgeous for this spring season, the flow of the dress that dances around you every step you take. Then the plunge neck, you guys, and the open back, add just the perfect amount of sexiness. To complement these vibrant and pretty details, I paired it with colorful tassel gold earrings with pearl details. These earrings and this dress were a match made in heaven.

And because the dress is open back, I want to complete the look with a denim jacket. In case the weather decides to surprise me with occasional cool breezes. You may think I’m talking crazy since it’s May now, but if you’re in Colorado, you’d understand how bipolar the weather could be. It was seventy degrees over the weekend and now while I’m typing this, it’s getting ready to snow. So even on a spring day, I still take with me a denim jacket. This distressed number is the perfect one to make this look casual and appropriate for walking around the city.

This past weekend, one of the really cool spots we found was a castle-like white house with the vines hanging on some parts of it. I maybe easily impressed but it looks to me like a house you’d find from Disney movies. So of course I insisted my husband take photos of me on the side of the house. And not too far from that house, we found a public garden. However, I didn’t see much flowers there, it looks like there was work being done about that. But I still really liked the garden house and thought this floral maxi dress totally belonged here in this scene. Don’t you think it’s a photogenic spot? So what is your favorite thing to do on the weekends, and what is your perfect outfit for it?

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.

It has been the best experience with recovery and breastfeeding I’ve had between the 2 children. And we can’t get enough of Mr. Colt’s smiles and snuggles 🧸.
