ABSTRACTSMILE

Hey guys! I'm living in dresses as much as possible these days. This dress was one of the many things I was able to get from the Zara sale. This is the perfect transition dress from summer to fall. It's lightweight material is perfect for those summer date nights and as fall approaches you can always throw on one of your favorite layering cover ups (faux leather jacket for me please!) for a meet up with your gals. I've been lucky enough to still fit into my small flowy dresses as I hit the last trimester!

A lot of people ask me how do you do it wearing heels? My answer, find a comfortable chunky heel. My job consists of rushing out of the office to meet with brides and head out to lunch with our corporate accounts, that wearing flats just doesn't cut it. Ensure to invest on something that will feel comfortable for you! There's times that my feet do get swollen, so in your bag always carry some comfy shoes (I always have my flat mules with me if anything!). I got these leather chunky heel mules with a square front cut last year, and they have become an IT girl shoe. I know Steve Madden had them as part of a collection so they are discontinued, but I will tag some that look familiar. As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world! Xoxo, Abstractsmile

Hey lovely people of the world! I only say this because I do keep track of everyone reading my posts, and god you guys have been amazing with my whole new journey. I'm officially a Jersey City resident, and I'm starting my third trimester. It's a surreal feeling to feel her kick me and it's true they feed in all your emotions. I try not to let my daily life or work stress me out, but we are all human. One thing that has been stressing me out is my body change. Growing up with a lot of body issues and accepting my body figure was hard for me through my teenage years, from eating disorders to surpassing actual bullying for looking different than your typical Latina. As my fiancé likes to remind me, "you're more beautiful than ever, you're carrying our little girl." .. and that truly helps a lot. Since I started my blog, I have always made it about feeling confident in your own style and to love yourself. Now that I'm going to be a mom to a little girl, I want to make sure that she finds her voice, to know that if she doesn't look the same as everyone that it's ok.

To all the new mommies to be, you are all beautiful! We go through all these changes to bring something so remarkable, which is a human being. Below I'll tag where I found this beautiful wrap dress. My closet usually is 95% black, but lately you'll find more blue hues with stripes. As always I hope you get inspired by my style, and remember to add some lipstick and go conquer the world! Xoxo, Abstractsmile
