MUSTARD DRESS WITH FUN CONVERSE
I’ve been trying to be creative with my outfits because I’m getting down to the wire with the pregnancy and very very very uncomfortable. However, it’s proving to be very difficult. I love this mustard dress, and I was trying to find a cute and comfortable way to wear it out so I decided to pair it with my new converse. My husband bought me these converse a few weeks ago when we went shopping and we did get bebe a pair of red converse for when they’re a a little older (they didn’t have red baby booties).
In addition we bought the little socks that look like converse, so that’s what bebe will be going home in. Anyway, what I love about this dress is I’ll be able to wear it postpartum. I tried to stick with clothes that can be worn afterwards, even if they are a little big because it’ll be comfortable. It won’t get colder here in Florida until December’ish, but I can always wear these looks next year.

TAKING PHOTOS AHEAD OF TIME
I’ve been trying to take as many blogging pictures ahead of time. So far I’ve taken photos all the way up until the last week of October. That last week still has two photos that need to be taken, but so far, everything is taken. I wanted to do this because first of all, as I already stated I’m starting to get very uncomfortable. Secondly, in case bebe comes early, I want to make sure I have all of my outfits and blog posts all scheduled and done. I also have my Instagram all scheduled for the rest of this month, October, and I have some content for the month of November.
If you’re curious as to what app I use to schedule, I use Planoly (affiliate link). I’ve actually been using this app for a few years and just recently learned that they had an affiliate program. For the app, I do use one of the paid versions, but you can always use the free version, the only downfall is you can only upload 30 images within a month. So if you’re indecisive like myself, that’s not a lot of images.
I know it sounds like a lot, but I’m constantly changing my mind on photos, or I’ll add it to the grid and I don’t like how it looks. Instagram is a creative outlet for me, and while my Instagram isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as most bloggers/influencers out there, I still like it to look a certain way. I do also use a planner to schedule content. I have one I keep on me at all times (because it also keeps track of my personal life and appointments), and one at my desk at home.

YOUTUBE/NURSERY UPDATE
We are still working on the Youtube setup and Nursery. So far we have most of my Youtube setup out of the nursery. My husband bought me a bunch of pink lights so that it’s more me, and so far, the entire corner of our bedroom lights up hot pink haha. I have two computers set up so far, one for work, and one for my Youtube and blogging stuff. I’ll also have my laptop set up there as well. This past weekend was the first time I filmed in the new setup and that video will be going up next Wednesday. There will be things I will tweak with the setup and ring light but so far, I love my new setup.
The nursery is hopefully going to start being built sometime this week. I know most people are usually all set up by now, but we’ve been so busy it’s been hard to get all of that done. This past Sunday marked 34 weeks, so I know we are really pushing it. I still have to wash all of the bebe’s clothing and blankets. However, I don’t want to do that until I have the shelves and drawers all set up. That way, I can have a spot for everything.
Not to mention, I may or may not have gone a little overboard with stuffed animals, and I’m running out of room for those. I can’t wait to share what the nursery looks like because I guess you can say the theme is jungle animals and just animals in general. The nursery is going to be pretty gender neutral because that way I can decorate it easier now. Once bebe is old enough they can go ahead and decorate as they please.

LET’S MOVE ON TO THE LINKUP
We have a shorter post today. Because like I said I’m trying to get a lot of things scheduled ahead of time. I do also have a lot of research to do for two videos. These two videos have to (well, hoping to, cross your fingers) film and edit this weekend. I’ve really packed on a lot for the month of October. As of right now, I think I packed on too much, so things might change, but I’m going to try!

I will say, the on good thing about being pregnant in the hotter months is I don’t have to wear pants lol. Wearing dresses is way more comfortable when I can barely get my legs through leggings right now!

Such a cute look, Monica! I love this dress on you and your new Converse are super fun! I just ordered a new pair of cowboy boots! Eek. I can’t wait for them to arrive. I am looking forward to your nursery pictures once you have it all done. And baby Converse shoes and socks are the stinking cutest things ever!

Thanks so much! The converse definitely need to be broken in a little bit. They’re not that regular fabric material, they’re a little thicker and stiffer so I just need to break them in. Super excited to see what your boots look like! I love cowgirl boots!
