The Calm Before The Storm

 

 

This will likely be the last post I do for a few weeks.

I will be actually delivering a few weeks early (which is finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeee by me!)

I'm sure I'll be able to catch you guys up on Instagram and Facebook so make sure you follow me there! (There are also outfits on Instagram that never make it to the blog)

Wish me luck!

I am so ready to be un-pregnant!

 



Skirt: GarnerStyle for Rebdolls

Tank Dress worn as Shirt: H&M

Shoes: Nine West

 

As far as the outfit, I have to shout out Chastity of Garner Style because it is from her limited capsule collection with Rebdolls! When a buddy launches a collection, you find something to buy!

Everything sold out so fast that I was only able to grab this skirt. I hope they restock soon!

I intended to save this for post-pregnancy but I was too impatient...plus it has an ecstatic waist!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

The material is fabulous, the color is vibrant and it has pockets!

It will most certainly be in rotation!

Congratulations Chastity on a job well done!

The Belly Grows

I had a lot to say in my head when I knew I was doing this post. 

But that was before Beyonce' rocked the Super Bowl Half Time show and then turned out the lights in the Super Dome.

Also, ummm...why did I laugh at myself in these pictures!

It sounds weird, especially considering that I'm a "style"blogger but I am not one of those people who looks in the mirror constantly during the course of a day. 

So when I saw the pictures and that belly, I had to do some double takes!

When did that happen! 

Geesh!

3 months to go!

Cap: H&M (Men's Department)

I'm Half Way There!

Happy New Year!

You see what happens when I don't blog for a while! 

The hair has grown out and the belly has gotten bigger. 

This is what 21 weeks of pregnancy looks like:)

I'm just beyond the half way point already! 

This coat....I love her so much!

I got it from the thrift store last week and I may have tinkled on myself from unexpected giggles. 

(I'm just kidding...maybe)

It seems to be handmade and just perfect.

I have about 2.2 weeks before I can't button it anymore.

So, I'm going to wear it everyday to get my use out of it. 

Vintage Thrifted Hand Made Coat: Thrift Store

Dress: Old Navy ($8 in the clearance section after Christmas)

Earrings: Aldo

Pour La Victoire Irina Heels

P.S....I'm having a GIRL!

My Womb Harbors a Stripper

My doctor recently prescribed me some prenatal vitamins. The cost came to $94 WITH insurance!

I let the vitamins stay at the pharmacy.

I later called the doctor's office to see if they had a cheaper an affordable option. I was given a prescription for $11.99.

(Iphone pics strike again)

So now I'm wondering if my baby is predestined to be a an exotic dancer because I chose the cheaper prenatal vitamins! What do the $100 vitamins have that the $12 vitamins don't?

(Worn to a Holiday party: Super Old BeBe sweater, Zara pants, cover by Clutched and Covered, thrifted chain belt worn as bracelet, Nine West heels.)

Am I gambling with my baby's future?
Based on my decision for vitamins, my baby could be the next President of the United States, or the next Anna Wintour (Vogue editor High Priestess) or the next Josselyn from Love And Hip Hop Atlanta!?!?

The pressure of motherhood is real!

This Baby Makes Me Hate Leopard Print!

I'm trying to pull it together to blog regularly.

The truth is I find everything else to do but take outfit pics.

Mainly because I'm struggling with the in between stages of pregnancy.

I'm just past the bloated "she looks like she ate a dozen donuts" for breakfast stage and now into the "I gotta get creative stage."

(Gotta find the battery charger to my camera so Iphone pics will have to do)

(2nd trimester is much kinder to me than the 1st so I've stepped out of pajamas lately

(and yes those are MATERNITY jeans from H&M...I broke down and boought two pair! HA)

So, once I figure out a good formula to work around the belly, I think consistent blogging will happen.

In the mean time, while most pregnant women have food aversions (and I have them too)...I also notice that I have some style aversions that I'm going to charge to being preggers.

Pregnancy Aversions (1st trimester)

1. NO Leopard print!  I CAN'T BELIVE I AM TYPING THIS. I haven't worn one lick of leopard print anything in about 2 months. I really think it's because I saw a lady at work who over did it with leopard print in one outfit and right at that moment, I swore leopard print off. LOL! I'm charging it to the pregnancy. I refuse to even wear my favorite leopard scarf! HA! I'm sure it's just a phase.

2. NO Bracelets! I KNOW !!  I can not be bothered with bracelets. And you guys know I love a good armful of bracelets. Something about the fussiness of it all gets on my nerves these days.

3. NO Big Earrings. It might be because of my new haircut that I prefer small studs lately.

So, while most pregnant women are puking their brains out(I'm lucky I'm not one of them),  I'm having major style side effects! Of course, I am! LOL

P.S....I'm a cliche'. I don't know what it is about pickles and pregnancy but I will rip somebody's face off if I don't eat atleast 3 dill pickles a day!

What are some things that you noticed during your "gut full of human" stages?
