I am SO SO SO happy that daylight savings time is here! I LOVE the longer days – especially since I can take outfit pictures after work again. WAHOO! But for real, the sunshine and longer days just make my heart happy.

It was SO windy when I took these photos. Sometimes I like to try to think that I’m like a real model and I try to “work with the wind” and “be the wind” and “let the wind blow through my hair.” But alas, I am no Tyra. I cannot smize. I work with what God gave me.

Don’t watch the Bachelor? Ignore this paragraph. Skip to the next one. I am a sappy woman and the Bachelor finale made me cry. Okay, maybe it’s my pregnancy hormones. Whatever. I cried. Sue me. It was a lovely proposal. I say this every season, but I really hope Sean and Catherine last.

Let’s talk exercise. I need to exercise more, but right now a successful workout is a short walk around the block or going back up the stairs because I forgot to put on my shoes. I have a few prenatal workouts, but I am telling you, I have absolutely no energy. I need to find some motivation. And yes, I know the baby and my health should be motivation – and of COURSE they are, but it’s tough. I guess motivation isn’t the word – it’s more like, I need to find a swift kick in my rear to get me moving. This is something I’m legitimately praying about. I need to get moving.

Let’s talk music. I’m in a bit of a music rut lately (except for the new Hillsong album – I am OBSESSED). I need some new tunes. I like a little bit of everything. What’s your favorite song right now?

What else random is on YOUR mind?

Linking up today with The Pleated Poppy, Wardrobe Wednesday, and Random Wednesday with Shanna.

  1. Molly, I am so glad I found your blog! I love your style, personality and you are just the cutest pregnant lady ever. YES I SAW that bachelor proposal too!! ohmygoodness I cried, it was so sweet, and they make the cutest couple. I really hope they last… the couples from all the series haven’t had the best track record.. Except Trista and Ryan.. remember them??

    Anyways, have a wonderful day!

  2. I am just loving the skinny belt addition to your cute tummy & outfits! It looks so good! Hoping you are getting a good night sleep now, I know it’s hard to get moving if you’re not rested, I’ll keep you in my prayers 🙂

  5. Love the photos. You look radiant and the colors are so becoming.

    I do not watch the Bachelor, but I love that I’m not the only one that cries at sappiness.

  6. GIRL. I also cried during the Bachelor finale. My roommates made so much fun of me. But it was so sweet! I hope they last too.

    Loving the bracelet bling in your photos and seriously, pregnancy is looking so cute on you! (Is that a weird thing to say?! hope not, because it is!)

    As for music – Mumford & Sons Pandora. MAGICAL. Chill, acoustic-y, semi-folk-y music. Awesome.

  7. Heya friend!

    If it’s “motivating,” my friend Ellen is a doctor and she said that she believes that staying active and continuing to exercise during pregnancy made her labor easier. Whatever it takes, right? 🙂

    Also, counter-intuitive, but exercising always gives me more energy. Of course, I am not pregnant, so I can’t comment on whether that stays true for y’all pregnant ladies.

    Also, supposedly things like cleaning, vacuuming, etc. count for “activity.” I try to hang on that to help motivate me to clean the bathrooms! 🙂

    Good luck with the exercising & praying for you guys!

  8. It’s especially hard to get moving when we’re lacking energy! But I swear the more you do it, the more energy you will have! That’s great that you are trying though – a walk around the block is better than no walk at all! And I love your photos! It’s always refreshing to see a fashion blogger who doesn’t take herself too seriously (and still looks gorgeous)!

  11. What a cute look! Girl, I know you are tired. But really do try to find time to workout now. It will certainly help with the delivery and post-partum. But if you can’t, don’t beat yourself over it! 🙂

  12. You look SO cute! I’m the same way with the wind – how to models make the hair flying everywhere look sexy?!

    I too love the new Hillsong album! Also, I can hardly muster the energy to work out now (as a childless, non-pregnant lady), so I cannot imagine how hard it must be when you are preggers!

  14. love the belt!! 🙂 i love the bachelor but i was hoping he’d pick lindsay! and I was really really disciplined before pregnancy and worked out every day and thought I would while pregnant. after being on bedrest at the beginning I am having a hard time getting into a routine! I am at least trying to walk on the treadmill a few times a week! I’m ready for the weather to be nice so I can walk outside!

  16. How cute are you with that outfit and baby bump? I love the two colors together and the red really pops! I love all of your jewelry as well 🙂

  18. I love your sense of humor. I really like the red purse. Is it worth buying? It looks amazing on pictures but does it look like it’s good quality and will last a bit?

    Agi:)

    1. thank you so much, agi!! i LOVE the purse, but honestly, i don’t know if it is TOTALLY worth the price tag – i mean, i LOVE it, but i don’t know how long it will last to be honest. i’m so torn.

  23. Normally I compliment you on your gorgeous style, or because you gave the best the best advice or because I laughed uncontrollably (with you, not at you). But today, as I am reading, I just kept thinking, you look so happy!!!! Pregnancy really suits you. Hope you are getting more rest 🙂 Happy Wednesday!

  25. Girl, Tyra doesn’t have anything on you! You look like a pro with your hair in the wind!!

    My hubby and I are getting together our Year 3 marriage album (yeah, we send a mixed CD to everyone who was in our wedding party as well as a few blog followers every year) so I can give you a LIST of songs we’re loving these days. We make playlists on Grooveshark and jam out to different ones each day. I know it’s kind of old school but we’re really into The Civil Wars, Mumford & Sons, Derek Webb, The Avett Brothers, Of Monsters & Men, and Passion Pit. Our Wake Up alarm songs are Needtobreathe’s Slumber and The Lumineers’ Ho Hey. 🙂 Hope you find some new music to enjoy!

  28. You are so adorable Molly! As for music … we really like Sovereign Grace Music around here. Their song A Mighty Fortress from their Age to Age albums is one of my favorites 🙂
