Ruche Sale

It's been a little while since I have done a style post. Most of the reason is because it's hard to find cute clothes that flatter my preggo body. I've managed to find a handful of pretty "dressy" clothing pieces, but for the most part, when I shop for maternity clothes, everything seems frumpy or just plain looking. I will say, it's all extremely comfortable, but just doesn't always fit my style.

So, when I saw this amazing floral sweater on Ruche a few weeks ago, I just had to snatch it up! It's been too hot lately to wear it, but it was finally cool enough yesterday (at least in the morning) to put it on. Yay! Aside from the lovely pattern, the best part of this sweater is that it has just one button at the neckline, leaving space for my baby bump to be free!

I'm not sure if this sweater is still for sale on the website. I think it was a "final sale" when I bought it, but Ruche is having a pretty sweet sale going on right now. There's lots of things on clearance and all full price tops and bottoms are 40% off! It doesn't get much better than that.

Sunday Style

Yesterday, Cody and I went to visit my family again for my grandpa's birthday. It was surprisingly a really nice day outside! I had Cody snap a few pictures because I actually got to wear a cute dress without having to cover it up with coats and scarves and layers and more coats....

Anyway, back to my grandpa and his birthday... He's 83 years young now, and when I say "young" I really mean it! Seriously, he's probably healthier and more active than me, which is kind of sad. You can see him playing soccer here with my little nephew. Aside from being physically healthy, his brain is still a wealth of knowledge too! He used to be an aeronautical engineer for NASA and hasn't forgotten anything from back then. Every time we visit, he ends up sharing stories with us about his rocket days. He informed me yesterday, that he's nearly finished writing a 40 chapter educational textbook about rocket stuff. Pretty awesome! The other day, I got curious and Googled his name (Frank Jordan). After a little bit of searching, I found an interview he had in an article of the NY Times back in 1993. Here is that article.... NY Times.

You may not think any of that is very interesting, but I think it's quite fascinating. It's safe to say, I'm pretty proud of that old man.
