Never did I imagine that the only people I would be showing off my latest & greatest outfits to this season would be my neighbors. Sure, I get to share my daily looks here and on Instagram but for the most part, my neighborhood has become my own personal runaway with afternoon walks my only chance for playing dress up in life’s current climate. I may be a bit overdressed at times strolling up and down my block but one thing that I never sacrifice for the sake of style is comfort.

Today, I’m dishing on my daily everyday outfit essentials and sharing how I dress up for my mini-adventures around the neighborhood in partnership with Famous Footwear. These oh-so-stylish Famous Footwear sandals put a spring in my step keeping me comfy & chic! Head on down for more of this look and my tips on staying stylish while strolling through the fresh air.

Famous Footwear Sandals and Other Everyday Outfit Essentials

Easy Breezy House Dresses

Even if I wasn’t six months along in my pregnancy, I have a feeling flowy house dresses and practical flats would still make up my outfit of choice these days. The house dress has become trendier than ever in recent months – and for good reason. A fabulous frock that makes you feel stylish yet it’s practical at home? It sounds like perfection! I’ve been drawn to “house dresses” made of lightweight linen, soft cotton, and breathable materials to keep me cool in the summer sun. This white ruffled maxi dress is 100% cotton and does just that too!

Stylish Famous Footwear Sandals fit for Strolling

My daily walks around the neighborhood are the number one thing that keeps me from feeling restless while isolating at home. I’ve ditched my summer wedges and heels for the most part for festive flats that keep my feet feeling snug, secure, and comfortable for our afternoon walking adventures. 

Just because I’ve been stuck at home doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped shopping, though! Online shopping has felt easier than ever in recent months and I love being able to shop by specific categories, styles, colors and more. Famous Footwear makes it even easier to sort & peruse from the comforts of my living room couch too. Naturalizer is one of the brands that they carry that I’ve been a fan of for years now. The footbed of my Naturalizer Patience Espadrille Platform Sandals is cushioned and cozy. The leather straps keep my feet in place and up for anything that comes my way. I also love the woven platform espadrille style details that elevate what would ordinarily be a simple shoe into something special. This pair comes in a white and darker brown style too!

Bump-Friendly Silhouettes

The further we get into the summer holidays the bigger my baby bump grows! I’ve had such fun mixing and matching non-maternity pieces in my wardrobe with staples designed for a baby bump. With everything going on in the world right now, stylish loose-fitting silhouettes and breezy basic pieces have become a little pick me up – giving me a boost of confidence in my style while also keeping me comfortable throughout the day. 

I still can’t believe I am 25 weeks along! This pregnancy is flying by, which makes sense with how much we’ve had to distract ourselves with during these last several months. Keeping a good routine has been key and we’ve been so thankful for the beautiful weather lately that has enabled us to go on so many strolls around the neighborhood!

Have you been going on daily neighborhood walks too?! And if so how are you staying stylish and chic at home and on the sidewalk!?
