Casual 70 Degree December Days + My [Un]Diaper Bag

I honestly have enjoyed this recent southern warm spell. Another thing I didn't mind? Raiding my sister's Old Navy order the day it arrived. I immediately threw on this side-slit tunic and didn't bat and eye when she told me it was maternity. Maternity shmaternity...whatever, I love it! Besides, it doesn't even say maternity on the tag of the shirt. The pink color looks exactly like the pink side-slit tunic I bought form the regular women's section a few months back. In true Elise form, it's currently on major sale in all 3 colors from $18.97 to $6.99, so there's that. Scratch that...I just realized you can add an extra 30% off at checkout using code DASHER which makes it $4(freakin').89!!!! Bottom line, this tunic is hardly "maternity." If Hope packs it away as a maternity shirt post baby, I'll just swipe it and put it in my closet. (Spoiler alert: she won't. We both know this is too cute to part with after baby Skouras is born!) It's versatile for warmer days like those recently here in Charlotte. Additionally, you can throw on a cardigan and wear it when it's cold, and I'm sure Hope and I will be rotating it between our houses this spring when it warms up again (right, sister? ;)) I can't say no to stripes or side slits. Or deals. I'm predictable. I love it. The end.

Okay - let's also talk about my [un]diaper bag. After wayyyy too much contemplating while I was pregnant, I decided to take the plunge and commit to this reversible lovely. Guess what? I haven't looked back! It's the perfect size, there is a cross body strap (crucial and the only way Mark will help me carry it), great quality, and adding this diaper bag insert fits every organization queen's diaper bag desires. Oh, and the reversible factor also makes it a fun, simple way to change it up just because you feel like it.
If you want more details, read ahead. If you're not into diaper bag details, skip this. :) I purchased the diaper bag insert in khaki because I felt like it would be easier to see what's inside each pocket with the lighter color. Before Amazon priming it to our house, I literally got pregnancy crazy and compared the insert and diaper bag's dimensions like a super serious mathematician, so I assure you that these two products go together like peas in a pod. I love the insert and have like-paired things in its sections. For example, the biggest section holds our diapers and wipes. Then the little sections house anything from toys (two maracas and a rattle, to be exact) to my nursing cover to a change of baby clothes to snacks to sanitization things. I stick a diaper changing pad down the side of the tote (not in the insert) and throw a small cutch on top of everything in the bag that holds my wallet, phone, and keys. That way--with the clutch--whenever I'm heading somewhere without my littlest lady, I just grab it from the top of my bag and go. This system works like a charm for me! The clutch is clutch, you might say.

Let's break it down:I don't care that this tunic is "maternity." It's a steal at $6.99. ($4.89 using code DASHER at checkout!)70 degree days in December are a total treat.I am still in love with my [un]diaper bag and it's diaper bag insert. (Did I mention it comes in 9 other color combos!?)
Even if you're not in the market for a diaper bag, this bag really is just a stinkin' awesome, perfectly-sized reversible tote, and it will rock your world! I promise! Not even going to tell you what a bargain it is. (But you probably know by now that I wouldn't buy anything other than a good deal!) Spread the word to your expecting mama friends...you dot have to get stuck in the box of making yourself buy an actual "diaper bag." Find something you love in a price range you're comfortable with, and make it work! Trust me!! Shop the Post:
