Motherhood Monday: My "Living Stylish" Year in Review (2012)

Can you believe this is the last Monday in 2012? I do believe the year felt like it flew by but I really lived every single day of it! This year, I introduced this blog, "BernettaStyle" on February 1, 2012 after writing W.I.F.E (Why Isn't Forever Easy) for two years. I will say, this blog has grown alot in 11 months and I am very very happy for what writing this blog as allowed me and my family to do, people I have been able to meet and experiences I have had. I look forward to 2013 in terms of BernettaStyle and I want to thank you for continuing to come back. I love your comments, questions and even constructive criticism. I write for you! Thank you all.

Now as I think back to 2012, I had a good year but I had somethings happen to me that I would have not expected in 2011 or 2010 that I won't go into. I am a survivor and I SURVIVED!! I was looking through my blog roll and saw a fellow blogger (Dani Tucker) do a post about her favorite outfits of 2012 and thought it was a cool idea! I told her I was going to COPY! LOL!! So, here I go.

I just love this dress and you can't tell me NOTHING when I wear it.

It's Ms. Tiny hunny! (Beyonce's Mother!) I got it from Walmart $19

The 1st picture was on New Years Eve 2011/ 2nd pic was May 2012 in Vegas

This little orange number is my cute casual go to. I actually don't remember where I got this.

I think at a fashion swap. But the day this picture was taken, I was filming Iyanla Fix My Life with the powerful Iyanla Vanzant. My hair had poofed-up by the end of the shoot and looked a mess on camera! #humidity!

I bought the blue dress at Marshall's to go to Harpo Studios for $29, but it was too sexy,

so they went with a green number (Target - not shown). But I love how this dress falls on me, I was headed to a wedding. I felt like Nene (RHOA).  The pink dress is from H & M, $10 clearance rack! Feels good, looks great! This picture was mothers day, but I originally bought it for a wedding I attended in June.

Now the long blue dress caught alot of flack from my closest friends! They said it looked like a Moo Moo! But they only saw the picture because in person, it was fitted and I liked it. Ross, $19.

The black Jumper was ordered from Venus.com, $32. I just loved this when I saw it. I was in Chicago when I took this picture on a warm June evening about to head out and celebrate with my friends! 

I was pregnant, but no one knew!

 Another dress I loved. Ross $24 (Calvin Klein).

I loved the fit, the fabric, the cut - just everything. 

This outfit was put together. I already owned the denim skirt for years, the shirt was from Target (1 year old). Jewelry from H&M. I just thought I was cute this day.

Pregnancy starts to show! I was dressed in GAP for a modeling opportunity with Baby Shopaholic!

And the other photo is me in my thrifted Anne Klein vest & H&M jewels!

 Uh oh!! The belly is popping! I had on a red corduroy thrifted vest, Ross Maternity Jeans, boots and brown jewelry! I was headed out to discuss 50 Shades of Grey, with the Mocha Moms. 

And finally the baby is in full effect! 

This is my cute maternity dress from Target, $12 (Clearance)

Black velvet (fashion swap) blazer and boots.

I hoped you enjoyed my fashion year in review. I enjoy looking cute for LESS!! 

I always start at the clearance rack and work my way OUT!

2013 here I come - after the baby comes of course!

Love you all! Happy New Year!
