For throwback Thursday and to celebrate Nash's 1 week old milestone ~ I am sharing my instagram round-up of my maternity outfits. I have quite a collection to post here so round-up will be in several posts. I was meaning to share these here on the blog during pregnancy (but it did not happen!)

seven quick takes

// silver d'orsay pumps below //

I am linking up with Kelly for seven quick takes.

1. recap of our week
Baseball is over. Lil D had his last game Monday.   They were down 0-9 but only lost 11-12. I am sad I was not there to cheer him on. The other three had swim lessons and we already missed one  class a week before because of baseball.


2. Lucy is getting more and more comfortable with the  water. She still won't float on her back or relax fully but at least she does not cry and fuss about getting in the pool. Baby steps... we are slowly getting there.

The other three are loving the water. Lucas wants to jump in the water with his sibs. We did not sign him up since a parent has to be in the water with the babies.


3. I wore this outfit for a photo shoot for work. My theories for getting selected:
- I am a female physician.
- I am Asian.
- I am short.
I have to represent the minority.

Black and blue are power colors. I love pink but I chose not to wear pink.  Instead I went with my second favorite color - Colts blue.

I did not wear these heels for the photo shoot! I went with my trusty Mary Jane clogs. They gave me height but they are more "believable" for a female physician. Although I have been known to  wear heels in clinic.

mirrored sunglasses

mirrored sunglasses, Nordstrom

linen tunic, Jcrew

Reef, ginger flip flops

Celine, mini luggage, trileather

leggings, nordstrom

necklace, KSNY

I am so addicted to mirrored sunglasses! Addicted and late to the bandwagon.
What's cool about this pair is the PRICE. They are less than $15.


Here are other reasons why you should get your own pair:
-- They are also well-made and stylish.
-- your photographer will show up on your photos because of your mirrored sunglasses. {but if your instagram husband would rather stay anonymous, then look away when you're being photographed}
-- your children will love looking at their reflection
-- your instagram-husband won't see you rolling your eyes several times a day.

Does this outfit look familiar? like really, really familiar?

You are absolutely right! I just wore this outfit for church and posted it here. Let's play spot the difference. do you know that game? you compare PHOTO A and PHOTO B and spot the difference between the photos.

There are two things different from last week and this current post. I am being frivolous here. They are not hard to spot.

I asked to go to the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday dinner. Food is not something extraordinary over there -- but the cheesecake is amazing. Whenever we pass by the fashion mall, the children talk about how I asked to go to the cheesecake factory for my birthday. Kids' memories are amazing.

what would you do?

1. Am I the only one who does not sleep when something is not going so well at work? And for my work, it's not just an incomplete spreadsheet (sorry hubs, you and your spreadsheets) but usually when "something" is not well at my work ~~ it means the patient is not doing well. 

 Don't they say, leave your work problems at work?

Hang your white coat at the doorway, type of thing?

well, sorry but it's hard.

Life, unscripted, is documented on snapchat. If the blog is not enough for you and you'd like to see the REAL us (well... it could be "Real-er" but nobody wants to see all that), follow us on snapchat. The children love the filters. They love sending videos to their Lola and cousin.

please don't make me feel bad that my children go to daycare

Dress, thrifted

lace up flats

Saint Laurent clutch, splurge here or save here

 

I totally had the mommy guilt sending my infant and toddler to the daycare when I thought "I should" be a housewife/stay at home mom. I felt so bad that i was taking care of other children instead of mine...

work wear {May edition; 7QT}

Tweet

I want to join the fun over at Kelly's so I am typing a quick 7QT post with ----------- what else? OUTFITS! Don't be surprised.

Here's what I wore to work in the month of May.

1. Pink top + ruffle trumpet skirt.

 

 

2. Skater skirt + old top

I don't wear this skirt in clinic -- why because once I sit, I regret wearing it.

I wore this skirt while rounding over a weekend. I don't have to sit in front of the patients/parents when doing hospital rounds.

 



 

 

 

 

 

3. White top + gold + tulip skirt

Lace dresses are my current infatuation of dresses this season...  The fit and flare. The midi top and pencil skirt combo. Peplum lace dresses.  I love them all.

Back to the 40s here in the midwest. WHY OH WHY!
Teeball was cancelled for my little D. The field was wet and it was a chilly morning.
I had another outfit planned for Pentecost Sunday (no pops of red at all). That had to change. It was CHILLY.
