Some days I wake up and think I’d love to be a fashion blogger. They all look so fun, put together and legit. I could do it right? I mean I love trying to put together outfits and pairing accessories with random looks. Then I realize I haven’t showered in 3+ days, I’m wearing the same yoga pants I’ve been wearing for 7+ days and I’m lucky if I’ve brushed my hair in 10+ days.
Now that I am pregnant, it has gotten even tougher to feel motivated, when nothing really fits. I am also at that in-between stage where I am obviously bigger than “Normal Suz” but I don’t think I necessarily look pregnant to strangers. I just look pudgy… maybe?
This was the first week that I have begun to embrace the belly though. I have decided that I hate the maternity jeans I bought from Target (after one wear, I feel like I’m wearing a circus tent because they are so stretched out and baggy). I spent most of last week wearing my American Eagle jeans (that I purchased shortly after I discovered I was with-child, that are a size larger than my norm) completely unbuttoned underneath my shirt. #WhichIsExactlyWhyICannotBeAFashionBlogger. I’m sure truly fashionable people don’t walk around in public with their jeans unbuttoned… or do they??
I was recently asked to review hair extensions for Irresistible Me. At first, I thought No Way! What in the world would I know about hair extensions?! But since they claim to make you irresistible… I figured why not! Ladies - before I give you my thoughts on my new long locks, let me tell you that I never do anything crazy with my hair. I’ve never colored it. I’ve never highlighted or treated it. I only use real, natural products to wash it and then every few months I get it trimmed. That being said, when I ordered my extensions, my hair was already pretty long and thick. So I went with the longest, heaviest option they had (so it wouldn’t get lost in my real hair).
When they arrived I was pleased at how well the color blended with my real hair. I was also thrilled (and quite surprised) at how quick and easy these extensions were to use! I went from long hair to really long hair in a matter of 7 minutes! At first (because I had never worn extensions before) it felt weird. However after maybe 10 minutes of wearing, I didn’t even notice the slight extra weight. I think next time I will curl both my hair and the extensions a bit to help them blend better. But like I said earlier, it’s a big deal to get dressed these days. Curling the hair probably would’ve pushed this mamma-to-be over the edge.
If you want more information on Irresistible Me Hair extensions, head on over to their site! They have tons of options and their customer service was super helpful for a newbie like me!
And speaking of mamma-to-be - I know several of you have asked for a “Bump-date” picture. Well, I think my black and white Chico’s top does a decent job of hiding my unbuttoned jeans and the baby belly… but you can definitely tell I’m a bit wider in the picture above! One of these days I will give you a real update on all the pregnancy news!
Also, don’t you just love all the black and white accessories I used in this outfit? The purse, the shoes and the border collie?? Maybe I could handle a fashion post every now and then after all…
Full Disclosure: Pieces of this post were either gifted to me in exchange for this post or I was compensated by Irresistible Me for my time. But everything that share are all my own thoughts, feelings and lack of fashion sense! Cheers!
