Sparkle with Accessories

A Caroline G Shop Giveaway

This is the last video from the Almay Campaign! I had such a fun time shooting these in NYC back in April. I hope you’ve enjoyed them!

I’ve only had one other event during this pregnancy that I’ve had to dress up for. It was a wedding a few weeks ago, and I found a simple black dress from H&M Mama (the maternity section). It was a good price for a last minute need. 

I’m planning on attending the Southern Weddings magazine launch party in about a week and was thinking through how I can spice up that simple black dress and make it feel fresh. 

The good news? Crazy ornate statement necklaces are very much in style right now and that is simply the perfect way to add some character to an otherwise simple black dress. 

The encouraged dress is “silver or blue” so I’m just going to assume my sparkly necklace will be “silver” enough. It’s getting pretty tough to justify many more maternity purchases with only 6 more weeks to go!

I have a semi-formal holiday party to attend at the end of the month. Have you seen any maternity dresses with hint or pop of color that have caught your eye?

I haven’t, but I’d look at Target, A Pea in the Pod or Loft!

I swear, I only bought jewelry the last 2 months of my pregnancy. When even your maternity pants get too small, something sparkly is about the only thing that fixes it. I was 36 weeks pregnant this time last year and fortunately all my dress up occasions were behind me 🙂

I have really enjoyed all of your Almay videos. I purchased a couple of the eye sets and love them! Just wondering – do you use an eyeliner as well? Thanks and blessings! Susan

I justified a few purchases at the end of my first pregnancy, but admit I was down to pairs of pants I just wore over and over in my last weeks. Lol. But I knew I was planning to have more babies and figured eventually I would wear them again. Now that I am on my 3rd and most likely final, I am struggling to justify any maternity expenses.
