Y’all, with all of this snowy winter weather, I have been in full-on hibernation mode. Where I live, it started sleeting on Friday evening which turned to snow that didn’t let up until Saturday evening, resulting in about 2 inches of beautiful fluffy snow on top of an inch of pure ice. I had every intention of taking fun outfit pictures in the snow, but when it came right down to it, it was just too cold! The low on Sunday was in the single digits. That’s rare for these parts of NC so Nick, the dog, and I stayed bundled up indoors. Luckily, I got some mirror photos/selfies of a few past outfits that I’ll share with you instead. As usual, apologies for the quality but it was the best I could do under the circumstances.
Gingham shirt: Target | Vest: Old Navy | Pants: Loft | Shoes: Old Navy
I wore this gingham/vest combo on Thursday (and then again on Friday) to run errands before the wintery bottom dropped out of the sky. It’s been on my list to wear for a while but I was afraid the pants would be uncomfortable since they’re not maternity, but I was pleasantly surprised how well they held up with just a belly band. The shirt is struggling a bit against the belly, though, so I might have to retire this one until after the baby arrives.
Sweater: Banana Republic | Skirt: Target | Boots: Old Navy | Scarf: Target
I wore this cute little sweater/skirt combo to meet with my career coach to learn how to improve my resume. She gave me some really good tips that I’m hoping will land me a job sooner rather than later. This was taken when I was only about 6 months along (so about 1.5 months ago) and the career coach had no idea I was pregnant until I told her. Looking at this photo now, I can understand why. Tiny little bump!
Sweater and Tank: Banana Republic | Jeans: Target (Liz Lange Maternity) | Boots: BP Trolley via Nordstrom | Necklace: via Le Tote
I wear this outfit all. the. time. Seriously, it has become my go-to outfit for everything from errands to doctor appointments to hanging out to whatever. I love the layered look and it’s really comfortable and the boots make it feel even more stylish. I don’t really know what else to say about it except that I love it.
Sweater: J. Crew Outlet | Vest and Jeans: Banana Republic | Boots: Old Navy | Necklace: via Francesca’s
So, this was a really cute outfit but an example of one that didn’t quite work so I had to change it up a bit. These are not maternity jeans and they did not hold up well with the belly band. I wore this outfit to do some shopping and after my first stop I came home to change because I was literally pulling my pants up every 3 seconds. Very uncomfortable. The purple sweater/vest/purple boots combo, however, is on point so all I did was change into a pair of light washed, distressed maternity jeans and got the same effect.
Anyway, I hope you’re all having a happy Friday and not tucked up in bed bed all day to avoid the back luck that is thought to come on Friday the 13th! Did you know that there are TWO Friday the 13ths in 2017? January 13th (today) and October 13. Everyone beware, mwah-ha-ha! 😀
I agree – these are all cute, but the first, third, and fourth outfits are my favorites 🙂 I love the triangle necklace on outfit #3 and that grey sweater looks so comfortable! And those vest layers are on point!
Thanks, Liz! Vests are one of my favorite layering/completer pieces in the fall and winter.
The outfits are cute! I love the first, third and fourth ones the best. The third is sooo cute for everyday errand shopping and just everyday stuff like you said you do with it! I can’t believe you are wearing heels all the time when pregnant! I may have to call you mrs. stylish pregnant mom! Can’t wait to see how amazing you can dress after you kid comes along!
Do those BP trolly bootie shave a three inch heel? Are they that comfy for all day wear?
Thanks, Aidan! I try to alternate between heels and flats so I don’t hurt my back but, yeah, I love my heels too much to give them up! The BP Trolley boots are 3 inches, but they’re surprisingly comfortable, considering. I usually wear them all day and my feet might start hurting a little bit toward the end of the day but it’s not unbearable like some shoes I’ve owned. I’d say they’re my favorite shoe in my closet right now.
