Happy Tuesday! It’s finally starting to feel like spring here in Portland and I am so excited about it. It’s been a long winter filled with rain and snow so I am more than ready for the warmer weather. A few weeks back it was warm enough to wear this sleeveless pocket maxi dress all day without getting cold. No cardigan required!
I have so many items from PinkBlush that have transitioned from maternity to postpartum seamlessly. Most of their items are created to be worn from pregnancy to motherhood and beyond. I did have to invest in some specific maternity items but for the most part my clothes from PinkBlush have been worn a ton since Piper was born too.
I’ve always preferred flowy silhouettes so a maxi dress is basically my go-to when I can find one that fits. I’m 5″2 so like most dresses this one is a bit long. I tie it on one side or in the front to make it a bit shorter (like this). Also the fabric is also on the thinner side, so you’ll need to layer a camisole or slip underneath so your bra lines don’t show through. This would also be perfect as a maternity dress!
Thanks to my blogger pal March from theptowngirls.com for this necklace! I did a “Mommy & Me” photoshoot with Piper a few weeks ago and she lent me a few of her necklaces to wear. This was one of my favourites!
I should note that I took these photos at 7pm and the sun was STILL shining. It’s so weird that in Portland the hottest time of day is 5pm – I still haven’t gotten used to that. Is it starting to feel like spring where you live? Summer can’t come soon enough 🙂

The combo of the dress with the necklace are great! I am also 5’2″ and though I love maxi dresses often find myself having to wear heels so they are not dragging on the floor, so I appreciate the tip about how to tie it up!

That looks really comfy, and that necklace is so cute and dresses it up nicely!
