Since my last post here on crappy maternity clothes options, I have done some research, online shopping, and retail therapy to get a relatively large and diverse selection of maternity clothes.
When I first went pants shopping in November, I got a pair of skinny black pants and skinny dark wash jeans (#5 and #6 above). These have been my go-to pants during these cold winter months. I love that I can wear them tucked into boots, dressy or casual, and stay warm and dry.
I wear them both more than my boot/flare jeans, only because of the amount of snow and cold we've been having.
For my birthday, my mom and I headed to Macy's to check out their selection of Motherhood Maternity and A Pea In The Pod items. We got some great deals on a few staple pieces, including #1 and #2, which I love because they are form fitting.
We splurged on a few dresses, including the cute peplum dress (#4) that definitely allows some room to grow into! I also got a Jessica Simpson Maternity black lace dress, but I can't find it online. It's super cute, and again, I have some room to grow into it. I wore it out for my birthday and felt extra dolled up, considering the bump!
I got a couple of other dresses and tops that are no longer available online, including a dress similar to #7, but in magenta. This really has room to grow, and I'm exciting about pairing it with tights during the winter, and (hopefully) sandals in the spring.
One item from A Pea In The Pod that I feel is worth the "splurge" are their basic ruched 3/4 sleeve shirts (#3). I got these as a BOGO, free style. I LOVE the fit of these. They are super soft and really accentuate the bump! One of my biggest pet peeves has been the lack of fit where my "waist" is. Everything seems to tent over what is left of my waist, and frankly, I like to show off what is left!
