Pregnancy Fashion Struggles

Over the weekend I was feeling so blah and uninspired with the current rotation of things that fit me. I decided to shop my closet, if you will, and put together this look with pieces that are all a couple of years old. Sometimes I think I have these pregnancy wardrobe delusions where I put something on thinking it will still fit the way it did a few months/weeks/days ago and then get frustrated when that’s not the case. So I went back to some old faithfuls that worked my first pregnancy and was happy and comfortable all day.

Pregnacy Fashion Secret Weapon

Once you get to a certain point, a really hard part of pregnancy is getting dressed. I’m not the biggest fan of maternity clothes and try my hardest to wear my pre-pregnancy stuff as much as possible. Of course some things are no longer an option, like my fav high-waisted Levis with tops tucked in. But I did have a few pairs of jeans that were still (somehow) fitting… until recently. After the first of the year nothing was comfortable anymore. Enter the Bellaband. Now I can wear my favorite stretchy jeans un-zipped and un-buttoned and NO ONE has to know.

Velour Jumpsuit

This is the second time I’ve been pregnant around the holidays and it’s interesting. In some ways it’s really great, like indulging in all the yummy food that’s around this time of year. Wearing all the cozy layers – sweaters, jackets, etc. But it comes with challenges too… always being the designated driver and trying to figure out what to wear to a holiday party when all you want is to sit on your couch in your PJ’s. I think I found the answer to the what to wear part. This velour jumpsuit is just as comfortable as pajamas, but looks super chic. It’s not maternity, but definitely has enough give to work with a bump. Perfect for pregs AND regs.
