What I Wore to a Baby Shower
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today, I am sharing what I wore to a baby shower this past weekend.
What I wore was influenced by weather with temps hitting 90…and it did feel like summer.
My daughter was hostess for a lovely baby shower for a friend who will bring a baby girl into the world very soon.
That is why there was lots of pink, bows, frills, and ballerinas around the house.
The lightening in the house is unique, but I am sharing the best pictures that I could of what I wore.
Join me today to go to a baby shower…..
WHAT I WORE TO A BABY SHOWER: UNIQUELY PAMELA
This is uniquely Pamela in my full on spring palette and full on style adjectives.
A reminder…I want to tell the world with my style that I am intentional, casual, creative, approachable and current.
These are my style adjectives that I keep in mind every time I get dressed, and I keep my color palette in mind so that I look healthy and glowing….warm and bright.
I do not wish to look like anyone else…just me. When I am uniquely me, I go to a baby shower with confidence and a smile.
What I wore to the baby shower included a pair of pants I purchased a Chico’s in their clearance sale and I do love these pants.
They are the BRIGITTE SLUB ANKLE PANTS in a print called sunset peach and they feel great to wear…there are still some on sale at a low price.
Because of the colors in these pants, I have so many tops that I can wear with them…and I like the fabric…it is not hot and it takes these pants up a notch.
I paid more for the topper, but I know I will wear it often and knew I wanted it the minute I saw it hit the new arrivals.
It is the SHORT CROCHET LACE KIMONO…and there are so many ways I can and will wear this. I was able to use Rewards certificates on the purchase.
I shopped around for a new coral top that was the right length and elevated a bit.
So, I ordered the LIVERPOOL LOS ANGELES CAMP COLAR BUTTON UP SHIRT in sunset coral…at Nordstrom.
And it was exactly what I was looking for and will wear often.
Coral is now one of my signature colors, and is beginning to own a big part of the Uniquely Pamela Closet.
The accessory on my arm is about as unique as one can get.
My 7-year-old grandson met me with his bracelet creation…put it on my arm…and I happily wore it the entire time of the party and will wear it again.
Well, when you have your own jewelry designer in the family…you wear their designs!
The other women of a certain age at the baby shower all wore dresses, but I did not feel out of place….except for one other who was in between college basketball games.
I felt like me…and was happy in what I wore. These separates will serve me well.
WHAT I WORE TO A BABY SHOWER: THE MAIN EVENT
I love baby showers, and they have changed a bit.
It seems like more and more are couples showers and begin later in the day. This one started at 4 and went until 10.
But, Mr. B and I left much earlier than that. There were plenty of games that both moms and dads could enjoy.
And lots and lots of food and drinks…
It was a good time of celebration for all preparing for a precious baby girl to arrive.
Thank you for joining me today for What I Wore to the Baby Shower…I told you I would be breaking out color soon, so here it is!
I am getting more and more accustomed to my spring palette every day and love to see my reflection without the dark shadows on my face.
I will return tomorrow and hope to see you…until then…..
EMBRACE TODAY & KEEP SMILING!!

You look so pretty in your outfit! I wish that lace kimono also came in white as that ecru color is not one I wear. Yes, baby showers have certainly changed since my baby days. I’m amazed often when people call me to make reservations to rent our Woman’s Club building for a baby shower. To me that’s a big expense but such events have indeed become EVENTS!!
Since the guys have been added in they are bigger events than before…it was quite a party and I know a good time was had by all. Thanks Celia.
I love you in coral. My daughter in law, a golden spring, was initially perplexed by her colors, because she is more low key in her style and it felt too bright, plus she doesn’t like brown or yellow. The HOC consultant suggested a light neutral base with pops of color. She ended up with a base of ivory and similar shades, with a pop of coral in almost every outfit. She looks wonderful in it, and I think coral is swiftly becoming a signature color for her too. It’s also in my palette, though not a wow color. But it’s very useful to me in the summer. The lace kimono is a great one for you in a hot climate. Other than a linen shirt rolled to the elbows, I struggle with a third layer for hot weather that fits my adjectives, and usually just forgo one. It’s one of the reasons I prefer cold weather dressing. Spring and summer never excite me on the fashion front. And this year, I need to buy a new swimsuit (shudder 2x).
Pam, you look absolutely WONDERFUL. You have come alive.
Your daughter out did herself creating an amazing couples baby shower. How times have changed. I think it’s nice that it’s now a couples bridal shower. It sure adds a lot more to think about and the timing it’s held. Please make sure you tell your daughter and her team that hosted that they sure out did their selves. Very impressive. Loved the cake and custom made cookies. Chic you, matched the baby shower colors.
Wow, how touching your grandson’s custom matching bracelet is the sweetest gift of all. That was the crowing touch of your evening.
Hope you feel as good as you look.
My desire to have a third piece for events such as this is what motivated me to get this kimono jacket…and the fact that it is NOT white. I am so glad to have it in my wardrobe. Coral will be one of my go-to colors and it easily goes into fall too. Thanks Linda.
Thank you, Katherine. I am feeling great right now and appreciate you asking. My grandson will be watching for me to wear this bracelet with other outfits…so I will!
Well, the star of the show is your bracelet! How lucky you are to have your own jewelry designer. You look lovely, and that is a beautiful shower. I’m with Linda on the shudder in buying a swimsuit. Uggghh!!!
I am so blessed to have my own jewelry designer…oh the things he will do! Not thinking about swimsuits yet, either! Thanks Marcia!
You look beautiful! 💗 And your topper and shoes are so “chic” – love it!
Your daughter did a great job. The cake and cookies are darling. I have been to a late in the day shower yet. I am done by about 8 pm, so I definitely would not have lasted for the entire event!
You look so nice in that outfit and that color! It’s a good one. I agree I hope you see more coral in wardrobe.
What a fun day. And those cookies are beautiful! But so is the bracelet!
Thank you Karen. I am so glad to have all three of these new pieces now in my wardrobe. My daughter did do an exceptional job with the shower and there is a very talented lady in town who does the cookies.
That bracelet is definitely a keeper…and to wear again and again.
Have not been to a couples baby shower. I think the trend here is to maybe invite the father but no more men, and we still go with early afternoon or a brunch. Things vary in different areas. What a beautiful shower it was that your daughter hosted. Your grandson is such a jewel to be making jewelry for you. One of my granddaughters was fascinated with pipe cleaner items when about his age, and I have kept every flower and bracelet. She has learned to crochet now and made me a beautiful dark blue afghan for Christmas which has really been a blessing during this long cold winter. You look beautiful and very springy. 90 is July weather here in KY.
Wow! What an event! That took a lot of planning and work. Your daughter did a fantastic job. Yes, coral looks great on you Pamela! I’m so glad that you are finding clothes in your colors this season. I pulled down all my shoe boxes yesterday and traded my winter shoes and booties for all of my spring/summer shoes. Most all are from Easy Spirit! A few are Skechers. Our trees are budding and there are little leaves on my roses bushes! This is a month early for here in Colorado. We could still have snow! We need rain. Your creative grandson is a real jewelry maker in the making. What a sweet gift from him at the door!
Lovely shower with so many thoughtful touches. Your outfit was perfect and I bet you will get a of wear from each of the pieces. The bracelet from your grandson is priceless.
Wow…how wonderful that she crochets afghans for you, Cheryll. So special. It is so warm here today…I am not looking forward to summer.
I know we have blooms coming out here as well…one big cold blast could do a lot of damage to spring. But I am enjoying those blooms while I can see them. Thanks, Sydney.
I think I will get a lot of wear out of these…thanks Kathie.
Your makeup looks especially amazing!!!
Thank you!
You look beautiful Pam! And what a stunning shower! I love the balloon arches being used so much now. They are so pretty. And the cookies! Wow! I hosted a baby shower for a friend’s daughter having triplets-all boys! They were all born healthy and thriving.
How sweet to have triplets! So glad they are doing well, Kelley.
