Glass of Glam

A Fancy Blue Lace Dress For our First Anniversary

in Style on 09/06/16

I was originally going to wear this blue lace dress to my friend’s wedding in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I even laid it out and teased it on Instagram. Luckily, I threw in a back-up dress (seen in this post) as I was running out of the apartment just in case.

When I put on this blue lace number at the hotel in Grand Rapids, I realized I desperately needed a slip…which I did not bring. Womp womp. Wardrobe malfunctions.

I chose the dress months ago with no particular occasion in mind. I figured a) I love dresses b) it is gorgeous and c) I could just be fabulous and wear it to run the the grocery store if all else failed. In all seriousness I was bound to wear it eventually.

I love the lace overlay and how it is a ladylike midi length, which shows off shoes so well. The dress also comes in navy and red, but I thought the light blue was soft and unique.

So for our first wedding anniversary this year, I chose wore it…with a slip. The night was so special – we went to drinks at Denson, a speak easy type place in Chinatown. Then we had dinner at The Dabney, which was SO delicious. They have a farm-to-table philosophy and cook everything in an open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth.  Tasty food and a perfect dress for a perfect night with my perfect man.

When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted to be able to come back and continue nursing Rosie. 🌹Our goal is 12 months, and she was only 9 months old when we left.

I brought along my @spectrababyusa pump with the goal of keeping up my supply. I started by pumping four times a day, but dropped to three after a couple of days when I realized that it wasn’t too uncomfortable to just pump 3 times. Two pumps were at the hotel, and one was usually while we were out and about (on planes, in restaurants, hotel sitting areas, and bathroom stalls.) I was a little shy to pump in public, but in Europe NO ONE cares. They didn’t even bat an eye. I wrapped myself in a scarf to be discreet, but I probably didn’t even have to do that.

Sadly, I dumped all the milk. I didn’t want to worry about storage, freezing, transfer, and cleaning pump parts like a madwoman. I just wanted to be as free as possible while still being about to feed my baby when I got home. It was a lot of work but so worth it! Any questions? Leave them in the comments or feel free to DM me! #pumping #babytips #nursingmom #breastfeeding #spectrabreastpump
