Prego Fashion Challenge 25 weeks

Hat- borrowed from sister
T-shirt- Victoria's Secret (long and so comfy)
Belt- Vintage
Midi skirt- Old Navy (scored this for $6!)
Sandals- Gap

I wore this outfit over the weekend.  I am all about making non-maternity clothes work during and after pregnancy.  My skirts (pre-preg) that normally hit my knees or shorter look funny worn low or are too short when worn over my new tummy (unless you like that prego hooker look).  I found that midi skirts work soooo well while pregnant.  They can be worn over your bump and still remain long enough.  I hate the look of an elastic band so added a belt that matched up with the straw fedora hat (bad hair day saver!). I finished the look with a swipe of fuchsia lipstick and was out the door to enjoy that day with the fam.....truly a easy and effortless prego outfit.

Prego Fashion 24 Weeks

Shirt (old) - Forever 21 similar here
Dress (old) - Old Navy
Bangles - Vintage
Wedges - Rebels find here

Okay, I have totally been slacking on my prego fashion challenge in terms of posting.  I went briefly to the mall at lunch yesterday and got two compliments on my outfit so it really motivated me to post today.  That bump you see is already 24 weeks old!  The dress is tank style (non-maternity) and sleeveless which is not appropriate for work in my opinion or at least in a corporate setting.  The collared shirt doesn't work over my belly anymore so I tied it at the top to give me more of a shape. The shirt is getting a little more longevity by wearing it this way.  I think I will be doing this more often in the months to come as I run out of clothing options.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Some real proof you can be fashionable and pregnant.  The ladies above are a definite fashion inspiration to me during my pregnancy.

Prego Fashion 18 Weeks

True to my word I am doing another Prego Outfit post.  This outfit comes a week late (I was busy!!) but it was worn at our best friend's swearing in ceremony (he is a real lawyer now!).  I am 18 weeks pregnant in these photos and I rocked 4 inch heels for a few hours. That is pretty darn good if you ask me.  I am definitely getting all round and jolly in my mid-section as you can tell.

Denim Jacket: Marshalls

Striped Dress: Old Navy (in stores currently, going to get more colors, can't beat it for $15)

Scarf: gift

Shoes:  Zara (on sale!)

Rose Gold Watch: Michael Kors

Bracelets:  H&M

This pregnancy I seriously vow to dress "cuter" even though all I want to be in is pajamas.  Whether it be for work or a stroll around town, I want to look put together, not like I am borrowing clothes from Stan.  So I have presented a challenge to myself to spend 10 minutes of each day to plan my outfits.  I get up for work at approximately 4:45am.  Picking out an outfit when the sun won't even show its face is the last thing I want to do, therefore my outfits tend to be really similar and just blah in my opinion.  I seriously do not even know what fits anymore so maybe the first day I do this challenge I might need an hour to just try things on.  Even at 17 weeks pregnant I have a teeny-tiny bump and have to get used to dressing this new and growing body.  Everything fits differently and most of it not for the better lets just say.   I have a hard time associating anything fashionable or cute with being comfy but somehow I will have to find a happy medium.  Maternity clothes are most of the time pretty fugly so I really try not to buy any unless I really run out of options.  So with the help of this blog I plan to at least put up one post weekly with my outfit of the day so I keep on track.  So hopefully you won't see any pictures of me wearing my pajamas in the next several months!

Best,

First Gen Fam
