This week I am officially halfway through my pregnancy. As of today I am 20 weeks pregnant with my baby girl!
AND....I am beginning to expand. Big time.
YIKES!
Yes, I know it's for a good reason but still, I'm struggling to fit into clothing and experience tells me that buying maternity only is a big waste of money and truth be told, I don't like the selections all that much.
I'd rather buy a size (or two) up and then be able to wear it after the baby is born - however you can't mess with jeans and that I will buy in maternity.
Here are few looks where I mixed and matched maternity wear with my regular clothing.
CAbi Clothing Playtime Tee
Regular leggings
Short Sleeved Knit Top from Loft
Floral flats from Old Navy
Loved by Heidi Klum jeans from Motherhood Maternity - A Very Busy Mama Fave!
Open toed red booties from Nine West - SALE!
Green silk blouse from Old Navy - SALE!
Striped blazer from TJ Maxx
Stella & Dot necklace & bangle
Printed floral Cath Kidston blouse used in first pregnancy four years ago
Aurora Blue Rockstart Maternity Jeans from Old Navy (on sale now) - A Very Busy Mama fave!
Notice how I look more pregnant in some outfits and not so much in others?
Yeah, strange.
I suppose jeans are a bit more restricting if they have an under belly band as opposed to full coverage. I recommend wearing a belly band to to keep your tummy nice, neat and smooth looking under your tops and dresses.
For now, I'm wearing my regular clothing for as long as possible before I go needlessly spending.
