We have a lot of new things to chat about - and no time to chat about them in! I'll try to give you a quick summary. I am in my third trimester now; turned 28 weeks on Saturday. We also just moved! In case anyone was wondering, I do not recommend moving while six months pregnant. Our home is still upside down. Things are still in boxes, and I have no idea where I'm going to stash all of this makeup that I've hoarded over the years. My feet are swollen, I wake up at all hours, work stress and schedule has not lightened up...oh, and where is my concealer?! I have so many broken capillaries and angiomas from throwing up that I can't live without it.
During my pregnancy, I've been fortunate in that I've not needed to invest in many pieces. I have a really kind co-worker who handed down a few pair of her maternity jeans - I've worn them daily. I purchased a pair from a brand called Angel Maternity jeans (also try this pair, or this pair of denim leggings) I've pretty much lived in them my entire pregnancy (even arguing an motion for summary judgment in a pair - shhh). As for dresses, I've mostly managed to stick with the same dresses I owned before; anything that has stretchy fabric is a 'go' (like this basic jersey dress by Leith).
There is this option from Bumpsuit which is a maternity wear brand. It's a great Fall layering piece.
I did buy an affordable maternity dress that I wanted to share. The fit is great, and the colors are vibrant. It's pretty flattering. I wore it when we gathered together on Easter Sunday for brunch. The dress is from Asos by a brand called Queen Bee. It's still available for purchase. For size reference, I sized up one size from my normal size and purchased a 4. For those of you who have not shopped at Asos before, the sizing tends to run small. Let me know if you pick up the dress. xx
Helpful post. Love your outfits ideas.
