Casual Pregnant Fashion

Eight months (32 weeks) pregnant! This is what I wore today to run some errands. It was comfy, but I am feeling extra BIG lately and the smallest tasks are becoming difficult to manage. I'm so ready to meet this little guy!!

Hat, Scarf & Rainboots: Vintage thrifted
Maternity shirt and Jeans: Gifted (Jeans are Old Navy)
Black belly Band: just an old Stretchy tank top around my midsection.
Bag: Echo Red (from Ross)

Maternity Fashion: Day to Night.

Fashion at thirty (and a half!) weeks pregnant!

I wore this outfit to my prenatal appointment today. These jeans are stretchy non-maternity jeans from Target that I can still wear down low with a long enough top. The top (my favorite maternity piece) is actually just a simple flow-y spaghetti strap DRESS that hits just above my knees when I'm not preggo. I belted it under my bust and bloused some over the top of the belt, creating a maternity top that is actually long enough and cute!

Boots are from Charlotte Russe- with a low enough heel so I don't feel like a total fool walking around in mega high heels while so big.

Leather jacket was found in the children's section of a thrift store.

Bag is from Ecko Red (via Ross).

Getting BIGGER.

I'm sorry for the lack of posting as of late, but the store has (obviously) been closed since I started... you know... not fitting into the clothes and whatnot, although I'm sure I could have done well selling 'maternity' items on eBay as well. I just didn't have the desire or energy for it all, however, so a hiatus was in order.

As for pregnancy fashion, I am finding it harder and harder to put outfits together that make me feel 'cute' and 'like myself', so I have had no desire to post shots of them here! I have managed to feel "put together" on a couple of occasions lately, though, and I'll share those outfits with you:




These shots were at 30 weeks pregnant & 29 weeks pregnant respectively. In the top outfit, I am wearing a soft vintage-y tee (from JCPenny's) over a vintage dress. Then I added tights and my clunky boots I found at a thrift store. Last, my cropped jean jacket to top it all off.

In the second photo, I'm wearing a tunic over a dress, with a belt to accentuate the baby bump. I use belts a lot when outfits just feel a little "frumpy".

I will try to post pics more often- I've only got 9 or so weeks to go until this baby is born!

Maternity Fashion for Cheap.

14 weeks pregnant... wearing my new skirt and sweater from Old Navy Maternity. The whole outfit only cost $50 and should last me through the entire pregnancy-- and even a bit beyond! It's been so hot here, the only thing I want to wear are flowy skirts. I CAN'T WAIT FOR FALL!!!!

Maternity Romper

I found this strapless romper at Old Navy yesterday for $9. It was stuffed in the maternity section, although I don't think it's a maternity item, but it's going to work great for my growing belly! It's got a drop waist- which works perfectly for under the tummy. Plus- It's so comfy! I added a scarf and some strappy sandals to accent it. (It's kindof bland on its own.)

Maternity tip Numero Uno: Try to avoid the maternity section unless you are in need of basics. (Jeans or pants mainly.) There are so many elastic waisted skirts, long tops, and flowy empire dresses out there that you almost never have to buy maternity. Maternity is overpriced and very limiting- so remember to look elsewhere FIRST, and get creative!


Romper: Old Navy
Scarf: Target
Sandals: Target

Big Changes!

I tried this Kensie dress on the other day at 1/2 of 1/2 Name Brand Clothing, but I didn't end up buying it. It was only $12, but to a girl who's used to $2.00 thrift store prices, that's a good chunk of cash! heh. I do love it, however, and I slightly regret not snatching it up. It would be perfect for these HOT, MUGGY, HUMID days that are ahead of me. Summer is my MOST LEASTEST FAVORITE... I kind of hate it.

In other news, you can expect some big changes to this blog over the next 8 months or so. This fashion blog is destined to morph slowly (oh, so slowly!) into a super hip and fun and cool MATERNITY Fashion Blog- woo woo! I am preggo with my second child, and I want to use this place (as I grow) to show women that Maternity can be funky and fashionable too- and you can create fresh looks on a low budget just as easily as you can when you're not expecting! Maternity fashion is just so... BLAH... and GROSS (in my opinion), so keep your eyes peeled for ways to accommodate a growing belly without running into your nearest overpriced Maternity store.

Current readers- don't worry, you won't be alienated over the next few months- I hope to create looks that are fashionable and transferable to those who aren't expecting as well. And if you know of any mommas out there, let them know about this site! Fashion doesn't have to be thrown by the wayside just because your waist line is expanding.

Pregnancy is the PERFECT time to celebrate who you are and what you love!
