Welp, I’m pregnant! Yes,
it took me by surprise as well. Of course we're excited, a bit nervous, and I’m
very curious on how this little human is going to turn out!
While I’m 6 months
pregnant, things are changing fast. Number one, my body is changing so my
wardrobe is going in a whirlwind now. Many of my work blouses are loose fit so
I’ve been getting away with those. As far as my work pants, that has been a
hassle! Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like anything under my stomach! So,
the thought of me having to button my pants UNDER my stomach irks
me!
I’m trying not to go
overboard with purchasing maternity clothes, instead I’ve just been purchasing
items that have mega stretch and buying items a size up. I don’t know how big I
will be in my 8th and 9th month, but I do know that I don’t want to be left
with a bunch of maternity clothes afterwards.
What has worked for me
so far…
Elastic wide leg pants- These have been my life saver for work. It gives
me the comfort of pajamas without them actually looking like pajamas.
Dresses- I love a good on all dress that stretches!
Body conscious dresses have been great. It still makes me feel and look sexy
even though my belly growing!
Jumpsuits- These are my absolute favorite on the
weekends! All mine stretches so I shouldn’t have any trouble. My go-to places
for jumpsuits have been BCBGeneration, Versona, and New York and Company.
Leggings- You can never go wrong with leggings! Pregnant
or not this is as comfortable as it gets without walking out naked in public! Lol
Items that have not
worked for me…
Pattern/ printed and
striped tops. I don’t need anything
more abstract to the upper half of my body. Printed oversize outerwear is
better, it’s not so confined to your body and stretching out the print can make you look bigger.
Button up tops. As the months pass by, I don’t want to have
any gaps between the buttons. I’ll save all button up tops for later! I suggest
if you want to keep wearing them, you do have the option to wear them
open purchase one size larger.
