This year is especially tough because despite my urge to go out and buy pretty summer outfits, I am hesitant because if I am blessed and do conceive soon, those new clothes may not fit for long, if at all, by the time the summer weather finally comes. That said, I figured it was safe to pick up a few loose and empire-waisted summer dresses. For $18-30 these are a steal of a deal! The Old Navy near me didn’t have all of the dresses they show on their website, but I ended up with the following:
The Cross Smocked Maxi Dress in black. It's made of jersey so it's super comfortable but since it's black, you can totally dress it up if need be.
The Cross Yoke Dress in Navy. Again really comfortable in jersey.
And finally the Floral Chiffon V-Neck in pink, only shown on the website in blue. It is really cute and I can probably wear it to work if I throw a blazer over it.

I also picked up a pair of linen shorts and a couple of tank tops, all in size that fit but have a bit of room to grow in if need be. I couldn’t find them on the website so no photos, sorry! The tanks were $8 each and the shorts on sale for $15! I also bought a pair of cute Luca Ferri Lockamy wedges from Globo in camel:

I needed a pair of nude flats (almost flats!) to pair with some of my more vibrant summer outfits and all of the navy clothes I seem to be drawn to lately. They look pink above but they really are more of a camel color.
Did you put off clothes shopping while TTC or did you try to find stuff that was roomy enough for a bit of belly?

Yes I have kept that in mind while I have been buying summer clothes, but we're not starting TTC till July so I can still enjoy them, but I def haven't bought the amount that I typically do! I think you did great with your choices!! Very cute & Look really comfy for a growing baby bump!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I didn't want to NOT buy anything and then not get my BFP and be doubly miserable in my old clothes... but I didn't want to go out and buy a bunch of stuff that I could potentially never wear. This was a good compromise!
DeleteI am the type that has to be dragged out kicking and screaming to buy new clothes so I definitely didn't put it off while TTC. I had to be hauled to the shops when I was literally exploding out of normal clothes half way through my pregnancy before I bought anything!!
ReplyDeleteMy sister was once like you - she would whine the whole time we were at the mall. Now she spends far more time there than I do. I can see myself not enjoying it if I am feeling fat though and can't blame you for not feeling up to it even though you were bursting out of your clothes.
