We've been back from our weekend in Southern California for a while and I keep thinking about nice it was to get out of town. I work most weekends (when Brandon is off) so we haven't gotten a chance to travel in a while and it was nice to have a change of scenery and weather! Plus we got to witness friends get married, which is always fun.

We were able to sneak in a little bit of sightseeing in between Brandon's wedding party duties. Here are some highlights of what we did and what I wore from my minimal packing list.

The winter 10x10 challenge is over! I have to be honest, I was ready to have full access to my closet by day seven. I had to make a few substitutions here and there but overall feel good about completing this season's 10x10. I was feeling uninspired by my wardrobe and this challenge definitely gave me a fresh appreciation for the pieces in my closet.

This outfit is one of those I-didn't-plan-on-leaving-the-house-today outfits and I'm perfectly ok with that. It's as simple and as comfy as it gets.

For the first day of the winter 10x10, I decided to keep it warm in both material and color. I fell in love with this rust orange sweater the minute I saw it and it's since become a staple of my winter maternity style.

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I participated in my first 10x10 wardrobe challenge! I had so much fun last year and more importantly, made such cool #10x10friends that I knew I wanted to jump in again this year.

I've felt really uninspired by my closet lately, which if you ask me, is the perfect time to experiment and exercise some creativity!

Here's what I'll be wearing during the challenge.

Greetings from Southern California! Brandon and I headed out of town and into the sunshine of Orange County for the weekend to see some friends of ours get married. Real life awaits us at home as we plan to move soon so we're taking this trip as chance to unplug and play a little tourist!

You guys have asked to see how I'd pack for a weekend getaway with items from my capsule wardrobe and I'm stoked I finally get a chance to share a packing guide!

The winter capsule is here! Well, phase one is here. I’m officially in my second trimester and expecting to have to switch pieces out for roomier/more maternity friendly ones. I update my wardrobe after Christmas anyway, but this time will be a little different since I have no idea how big my bump (and the rest of me) will get.

If you read this title and wondered what the heck I was writing about, let me fill you in: I'm pregnant! Brandon and I announced the pregnancy on Instagram a couple months ago, which is pretty early considering most couples wait until right around now to spill the news. Props to those who wait this long, I was ready to tell basically everyone the moment I found out.

I've had the idea to create some posts centered around how to style certain pieces from day to night for a while now and I'm so excited to be sharing the first of these today!

Today is all about styling a white off the shoulder top.
