Leopard Overload

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a H&M leopard maxi dress that can be maternity with lace up black heels and Sancia bag

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are having a great start to your week! Ya’ll I have the prettiest dress for you today that I scored recently from H&M! I am always on the hunt for non-maternity items that can work as maternity and this dress is so good! You all know I love a good leopard print and this dress can easily be dressed up or down! I dressed it up a bit with some lace up block heels, but would also look so cute with some flat slide sandals! I kept the accessories simple by throwing on a crossbody bag and layered necklaces. I hope you all have a great Tuesday! <3

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We took Sawyer for his first over night at my parents house and took him to his first party and it was a big success! He slept through the whole party! So I lied when I said last week was my last bump outfit, this one is my last haha! Free People has the absolute best cute bump friendly tops! I basically lived in my Free People tops my whole pregnancy! I just love this cute henley with the lace neckline! It is so comfy and I can’t wait to wear it again after baby! I wanted to edge this look up so I paired it with some black distressed jeans and accessorized with black studded booties and news boy hat. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Although last night he had a night ya’ll! Send coffee! So this week is my last week of maternity outfits and it kind of makes me sad haha! I absolutely love this casual look! This black stetchy dress is the most comfortable dress ever! I absolutely love Storq items because they can be worn maternity and postpartum!

Rock n’ Roll

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles an edgy maternity outfit with ACDC band tee, ripped maternity jeans, and pony hair leopard booties

Happy Friday Eve babes! Thank goodness we are almost to the weekend! This week was the first week with Griffin fully back to work and this mama is tired haha! Sawyer does not like to nap during the day (luckily he’s pretty good at night) so it has been a struggle to actually get things done haha! I hope I can get him on a better schedule soon, but if any of you mama’s have tips for babies that fight sleep, let me know! So today I have a fun edgy maternity look. I scored this ACDC tee on major sale and it looked so cute knotted over my bump. I also love the oversized look it has now post baby! I wanted to edge the look up so I paired the tee with some black distressed skinny jeans and animal print booties. I finished the look with sunnies and a black bag. I hope you all have an amazing weekend! <3

Winter Stripes

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a stylish casual maternity outfit with a striped Forever 21 dress, long cardigan, and black ankle booties

Happy Monday and President’s Day Babes! Yay for long weekends! We had a busy weekend filled with family! Some of my dad’s side of the family and my mom’s side were both in town this weekend so it was filled with everyone getting to meet baby Sawyer! I think he got his share of snuggles and kisses in for awhile haha! So today I have another maternity look! It is honestly so weird how much I miss my baby bump when I look at these pictures. I would have never thought in a million years I would be that girl that loved being pregnant so much haha! This dress was one of my favorites to wear during pregnancy and it is actually a dress I had pre-pregnancy! Here I paired it with a cozy cream cardigan, that is seriously soooo soft! I threw on a pair of ankle booties and black hat to dress it up a tad, but this look would also be perfect with some flat booties for more of an easy casual look. I finished the look off with sunnies and crossbody bag. I hope you all have a great start to your week! <3

Beach Maternity

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles shows her intimate beach maternity photoshoot in Palm Coast Florida with Forever 21 satin maxi dress

Happy Thursday babes! Only one more day until the weekend and last week (hopefully) of my pregnancy! So I told you all I would share more from my beach maternity shoot, so here it is! I knew I wanted to do a more intimate shoot with just Griffin and I once I got farther along on the beach so a week after Christmas Griffin and I woke up super early to catch the sunrise. Although, nature had other plans and it was the foggiest morning ever! I was a little upset at first but we just ran with the more moodier look of the photos. I love this shoot since it shows you all more of our creative photographer side that we love. The few shots Griffin are in we actually took with the camera propped up on a box because we forgot our tripod haha! I hope you all love this shoot as much as I do! Ps I am trying to blog up until baby comes so if you see a silence you know he must have made his arrival haha! I will keep my Instagram updated though! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and t-minus one week, 2 days until my due date! <3

Dark Denim

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles a maternity date night outfit with stretchy tank dress, Levi's grey denim jacket, and black fringe booties

Happy Thursday loves! We are FINALLY almost to the weekend! I swear the weeks are getting long! I don’t know if it’s because I am nearing my due date or it is still the post holiday drag, but I am so ready for the weekend! Last week I received the most amazing package from Storq! I wish I would have discovered them earlier in my pregnancy because all of the items I got are so amazingly comfy! They are perfect too because they are all basics so you can style them so many ways! This tank dress is so adorable and I love the side slits give it a bit of sexiness. The weather was super nice last weekend so I just paired it with a light grey washed denim jacket. To dress it up a tad and make this look perfect for date night, I threw on a pair of fringed booties and then accessorized with this amazing black and gold metal bag that is currently on major sale! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We spent the weekend cleaning the house and just trying to prepare for baby! I cannot believe it but we are officially on baby watch! I am 37 weeks, which is considered term so it’s crazy to think he could be here so soon! We packed our hospital bags and just trying to have as much in order as possible, although I don’t think you can ever feel 100% ready ha! So today might be one of my favorite maternity outfits! This dress is actually NOT maternity either and just looks so cute over a bump (I just sized up). The wrap detailing is so cute! I threw a leather jacket on over it for some extra warmth and to add a bit of edge, and then accessorized with some black zip up booties and hat. I hope you all have a fabulous start to the week! <3
