I’m eight weeks away from my due date and it’s getting exceedingly difficult to find the time (and energy) to get out for these weekly photos. Not to mention the task of finding a cute getup that will fit my growing belly. I’ve managed to make it all the way to this point without actually buying any maternity clothes… I’m not really into the idea of buying something that I can only wear for a few more weeks, especially considering how overpriced all that stuff is. Once again, I’ll say that it pays to have a closet full of knits.

We’re skipping ahead two weeks from our last installment, now clocking in at 31 weeks into this pregnancy. This week I’m rocking another killer vintage dress from one of my favorite shops in LA, Shareen’s Vintage. We decided to shoot against this colorful mural just down the street from us, at one of the small local parks in the Santa Monica area.

So it’s been a few weeks since our last photograph. We try to dedicate a time slot every Sunday for these outings but some weekends are just too hectic to get it all done. So once again we stayed on the west side and found this cool wall at a bicycle shop in Venice Beach.
I’m wearing a vintage dress that I recently found at Shareen’s Vintage near downtown Los Angeles – that place is amazing. And so is the fruit cocktail print on this dress, which I appropriately wore to my picnic themed baby shower the week before. It’s only a shame I wasn’t able to maintain my watermelon slice manicure that I gave myself for the event… it was pretty sweet.

We kept things local this week, heading to the Venice Beach area for our 26 week photo shoot. Upon driving by, it seemed perfectly clear to me that this aquatic mural would make the perfect compliment to my smurf-blue tights. This will likely be my last woven dress of the series, I’m guessing I’ll need to go strictly stretchy from here on out. Luckily my closet is well equipped!

Driving through Hollywood one day, I spotted this amazing rainbow-hued mural on the security gate of fine drinking establishment, which luckily for me, appeared to be closed for remodeling. Although it may not be the most intricate or sophisticated of motifs, it’s bright colors and geometric composition make it my favorite in this series thus far. And I think it made for the perfect compliment to my graphic skirt and WkShp tee, which just so happens to feature one of our own Aaryn West designs.
