My Maternity Fashion Saviour
I don’t really HAVE any maternity clothes that aren’t my new pants. One Motherhood Maternity shirt, one Old Navy Maternity dress, one pair of Old Navy Maternity Bermuda shorts, and the pants. But my friend the lovely and well dressed TaraIncognita has shown me the light. I may not have to resort to sweatpants and muumuus after all (or at least not every day). Tara directed me to http://www.mywardrobetoday.com/, a really cute fashion blog where Allie, the blogger, just happens to be pregnant. She’s one of those glowing pregnant women, with the shiny shiny hair and clear skin – also known as the kind of pregnant woman I want to slap. But she’s so helpful I can’t hate her. I didn’t know Ann Taylor Loft made maternity. I have a whole closet full of beautiful pashminas and wraps I only wear for special occasions that I now plan to use as scarves all winter. Allie still wears belts, and shows me how I can too. Even though I woke up sicker and pastier than I have in weeks, I actually dressed up today and feel better for it. Maybe this whole growing stuff in my womb thing won’t turn me into a slob after all!
That blog is a BLACK.HOLE. I spent two hours yesterday night on that thing and only got through the first page. I don’t think I’ve seen her repeat an outfit the whole time. She wears the same pieces, just always in a new combination. It almost gives me the will to try. I was totally amazed by her blog – I can’t imagine having the dedication to blog that every single day!
If only I had unlimited time and no actual adult obligations to just stalk the crap out of her site ….
So glad you like the blog! :D
I swear the blog forces me to look decent. If I didn’t feel obligated to post daily, I would be living in my husband’s lacrosse shorts and baggy tees.
And I am not glowy… it’s a beautiful combination of Laura Mercier, L’Oreal and Benefit!!! :D
Congrats on your pregnancy!
Oh holy crap you made my day. Thanks for the comment Allie!
Another great site for funky maternity clothes is http://www.newmommyteesandjeans.com They have lots of things you won’t find in the stores. I’ve gotten lots of things there and am always pleased.
