Being pregnant is really hard for a shopaholic. Yes, there are cute maternity clothes out there, and I did buy some. But I prefer not to spend money on clothes that will only fit for a short period of time. And I didn’t want to buy anything so trendy that if I’m pregnant again in a few years, I wouldn’t be able to wear it again. So, it was a slow nine months for me, in terms of shopping.
But now that I’m no longer pregnant, and getting closer to my pre-preggo weight (though things are definitely not distributed the same as they were before), I decided it was time for a shopping haul. I’ve got a few more things coming in the mail, but here’s what I’ve got so far — and amazingly, everything fits!
C&C California Long Sleeve Pocket Shirt. Super lightweight (and breastfeeding-friendly!)- I’m planning to pair it with denim shorts or skinnies, depending on weather.
Joe’s Jeans Destroyed Long Rolled Shorts. I’m not big on shorts, but these aren’t too short or too tight, and they’re comfy. Definitely needed for summer.
KORS Michael Kors Rosemary Ankle Wrap Sandals. I love flip flops, but sometimes it’s good to have sandals that will actually stay on your feet. These are REALLY comfy and much more padded than your average flat sandal.
April M Gold Plated Wide Hammered Cuff. This was gifted to me by April M and it’s not the kind of thing I’d usually pick out for myself, but I really like it. The size of the cuff makes it dramatic, but the simple black and gold color scheme makes it very versatile.
J Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans. I have this same pair in a traditional dark denim, and they’re one of my favorites. I’ve been DYING for a pair of coral or mint jeans (or both), so these fit the bill perfectly.
Aah, the joy of new stuff! Have you made any fun new purchases lately? Tell me about them!
