Happy Sunday! Somehow it's already almost Thanksgiving... How is November almost over?

My Sunday Best, Volume 75: Rain, Rain, FINALLY!

Happy Sunday! As we were driving to Mass this morning, we passed a sign that said our town was under mandatory water conservation. They must have put it up yesterday, because it rained all night! Praise God! Our pond is lower than I've ever seen it, the neighbors' pond is completely dried up (and has been since mid-summer), and the ground is baked and rock hard. We've got more rain on the forecast this week and I'm so thankful!

What to Wear: Fall Mom Style

Ah, fall. I'm not like some people who have been wishing for it since July... In fact, pumpkin spice anything makes me a little queasy (not pregnant, just REALLY don't like pumpkin). But like it or not (usually I'm happy about fall, I think I just didn't get enough summer this year!), temperatures are down and cooler weather is here to stay!

Which means I'm getting my cool-weather clothes out and noticing what's wearing out and what gaps I need to fill. I got a few nice wardrobe staples when Twice liquidated their stock, but I've still got some holes I need to fill in my wardrobe.

When it comes down to it, I have a couple basic outfits that make up the majority of my wardrobe in the fall:

1. Dress/long tunic + leggings + scarf + boots

2. Sweater/button-down + straight skirt + boots

And really, those are pretty much the formulas I stick to. I got a couple pairs of jeans (again, Twice!) in anticipation of doing hardcore farm work, and I know I'll be wearing them when we plant our fruit trees and do *hard* work like that, but mostly after wearing them I realize how much I still hate wearing pants. So yeah, those aren't coming back into the regular wardrobe rotation.

I'd go take a picture of all my clothes and make one of those really nice "capsule wardrobe" posts that all the cool bloggers do but... I blog when the kids are asleep. And the baby sleeps in my room. So that's probably never gonna happen.

Instead, I'll give you a basic list of things that are currently building up my wardrobe (or things I *would* buy this season if we weren't currently paying two mortgages... So thanks for clicking through my affiliate links, because that's the only way I have money to buy new things!):

Basics:

Leggings. Leggings, leggings, leggings. I don't think you can HAVE too many pairs of leggings, and I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair for ages. I don't wear them as pants - the booty must be covered, and really I'm more comfortable having a dress/tunic that comes at least to mid-thigh when I'm wearing leggings. But I don't think you can have too many pairs.

I've been pretty happy with these J.Crew Factory leggings - wide waistband, decent material, doesn't fall down. But I wouldn't mind something a little more substantial, like these Loft ponte leggings or seamed ponte pants. I had a pair of maternity ponte pants for a couple of pregnancies and they were amaaaaazing, so with the sale at Loft right now they might be worth the investment.

Tank tops. I have a million. Some cheap Forever 21 ones, quite a few Target nursing tanks, but when I actually want to look decent I wear my Undercover Mama tanks with a *real* bra. Well, a *real* nursing bra... This Cake bra, to be exact, because it's pretty and has held up to pretty heavy use over the past many months. Good coverage, actually easy to hook & unhook - really, if you're looking for a good nursing bra, this is my favorite I've ever had!

Tights. I need new ones. Mine are all full of holes.

Tops:

I loooove this mixed stitch sweater from Loft. Lower in the back means more coverage, and it looks like the perfect amount of slouch. Plus 40% off!

If I order one thing, it'll be this J.Crew Factory embroidered t-shirt - I love a little bit of detail and it gets great reviews!

This popover tunic looks long enough to work as a dress, and would certainly give plenty of coverage with nice thick leggings.

I'm still looking for the perfect t-shirt, but this relaxed dolman tee from Loft comes in great colors, and I'm a sucker for dolman sleeves. This Madewell v-neck has also been open in a browser tab for ages... But do I really want to spend $25 on a t-shirt? It gets great reviews, though! Good thing I don't actually have money for it, so the decision is made!

I got this eyelet-front sweater from Gap over the summer and looooove it - I don't like super-thick sweaters, and it's so soft and has been washing well. Definitely recommend!

Dresses:

I blogged a bunch of nursing-friendly dresses last year, but here are some current options that I like:

Gap sheath shirt-dress (similar to above)

Mosaic pintucked shirt-dress (similar to above, LOVE this one!)

And... That's all I've got for you right now! I've ordered a couple things from ThredUp thanks to some credit I got from selling old clothes (and here's $10 credit for you if you haven't tried it yet!), and can hopefully save up some more from taking online surveys... I'm easing my way into fall - what are you most excited to start wearing now that the weather's cooled down?

What I Wore (and What's On Sale!)

This week's behavior highlight during Mass was John Paul taking off his tie and trying to wear it around his head while Elizabeth blew raspberries and tried to squirm out of my arms while ripping my veil out of my hair. Man, we're pros. She also spent a little while lying on the floor, possibly licking the tiles. But she was quiet so...

(This is why I read the readings beforehand.)

The scarf was probably unnecessary, but it makes nursing discreetly possible!

After the Stitch Fix disaster, I got an email from Gap that everything is 40% off (using the code GOOD), including sale items! That makes some things REALLY inexpensive right now, so I ordered some things to replace items I have that have worn out, and I'm pretty excited to try them out. There's a TON available right now for great prices, so you should absolutely click over and check it out!

If you're curious about what I'm trying, you can click the pictures below directly - not those exact colors, but those same items.
