Must Have: Asos Midi Dresses {Under $50}
Nothing makes me feel quite as polished and put together as a dress and heels. I am always on the hunt for the perfect dress and I always find a great selection at ASOS. Here are my favorite finds all under $50:
Spied: ASOS Duffle Coat
Even though the weather here is far from cool (summer in North Carolina often lasts well into October), I have my eye on this adorable toggle coat. I can't get over the color, which is just gorgeous. And it's on sale for less than $50!
And just for the record, here's what I'd love to wear with it:

Spied: One Shoulder One Piece
Tis the season to buy 12 swimsuits because you can't choose just one. Right? Or is that just me? I saw this beautiful one piece and my immediate reaction was to buy it. So, I'll share it with you instead.

Here are a few other great options under $40:
Must Have: Spring Dresses (+ Nursing Friendly)
This weekend's forecast shows temperatures in the 80s. I am over the moon. I thoroughly enjoyed the cooler weather and all the boots and layers that go with it. But now is the time for bare legs and tan arms. Dresses are where it's at when it comes to warm weather dressing. I saw this beautiful number and just had to share.
Midi Dress With Kimono Sleeve In Bird Print - $42.33 (Orig. 84.66)
Aside from the beautiful print, I love that it is breastfeeding accessible. I have found quite a few great dresses for spring, and they are all nursing friendly (and under $50). You're welcome.
DIY: Bra Fitting (Because You Are Wearing the Wrong Size)
If someone had told me at 12 that I would someday I would wish for a smaller chest, I would have laughed at them. I'm totally kidding. I would have cried and not spoken to them for a week. I was a late bloomer. Up until my sophomore year of high school, I was wearing a bra solely for the purpose of being able to change in front of the other girls in gym class.
From the time I actually needed a bra, I have been wearing the wrong size. And if I can guess, you probably have been too. Bra companies (especially in the US) make and sell such a small selection of the variation of sizes that many women feel they have no good options. And to make matters worse, employees at stores like Victoria Secret will fit you in the best size that they carry in stock. Which is basically the worst.
After ordering my third 32DD and having it be comically small for my chest, I got desperate. When I fit myself (using this video and this post as guides), I discovered I should be wearing a 30F. And I was mortified. Why? Because our culture tells us anything larger than a DD is freakishly large and something to be embarrassed of. Well, I refuse to be embarrassed. As an embarrassed consumer, we agree to put on ill fitting bras that make us feel normal (and have terribly sad boobs). Can I make do with a 34D? Yes. Should I? Absolutely not.
With these measurements, I found that I am a 30F (UK sizing - which is definitely the way to go if you have a larger chest).
Great! I am a size I have never laid my eyes on at the store. What do I do? Well, firstly, you start shopping online. I have had the best luck finding my size at prices that aren't crazypants at ASOS.
Here are some of my favorite finds:
If you are looking at ASOS, make sure to use your UK size because they are a UK company (and frankly, if you are above a DD, just use UK sizing. All stores that carry larger sizes seem to use UK sizing). ASOS carries band sizes as small as 28 and cup sizes up to J & you can search by size which is a total necessity.
Do the bra fitting! I promise you won't regret it. In the comments, leave the size you actually should be wearing & the size you have been wearing. It's cathartic (at least, that's what I have been telling myself).

It is so easy to do this simple fitting, you'll be amazed you haven't tried it sooner. All you need is a bare chest, a measuring tape & something to write with.
s t e p 1Exhale and measure your ribcage just below your bust line. If the number is odd, such as 29, round that number up to the next even number. In this case, 30. This is your band size.
s t e p 2Lean forward at a 90 degree angle (see picture above). Measure around the largest part of your bust. Write this number down. Mine is 36 inches.
To calculate your cup size take your bust size and subtract the band measurement
36" - 29" = 7"
Now use this number to determine your cup size below.
With these measurements, I found that I am a 30F (UK sizing - which is definitely the way to go if you have a larger chest).

Must Have: One Piece Swimsuits {No. 2}
One of the things I miss most about living near the beach is having a good excuse for owning 10 swimsuits. Not having an excuse to buy a new swimsuit in no way keeps me from looking for one.
I posted some great one pieces a few weeks ago, and was excited to find a bunch more good ones. Here are (more of) my favorite swimsuits under $50:
I think #1 is my favorite, but I kind of love them all.
Spied: Asos Blush Ponte Blazer
I don't know when it happened, but one day I realized I would much rather wear a ponte blazer than a cardigan. I love them because they hang like a woven with the give of knit. It's kind of magical. I was looking for a light option for spring and I bought this blazer a few weeks ago. I have worn it almost every day since it arrived.
Blush Cropped Blazer in Ponte with Notch Detail - $33 (Orig. $66)
(also available in red)
Here are a few other great ponte blazers (all under $40):

Have you forsaken the cardigan for the ponte blazer or am I crazy?
Must Have: One Piece Swimsuits

Spied: River Island Tattoo Print Midi Dress
After I moved to a warmer and more humid climate, I started really seeing the appeal of dresses and skirts as part of my every day rotation. Nothing is easier than throwing on a simple jersey dress and shoes.
I am head over heels for this simple sheath. The proportions are perfect.

Spied: Stripe Cut Out Back Suit
Swim suits are my kryptonite. Even before I moved to a sub tropical climate with nearby beaches, I owned no less than 8 swim suits. It was one of my greatest pleasures to stop feeling guilty about my swim suit hoarding when I moved here.
If I weren't pregnant, I would snatch this suit up in a heart beat.
