I didn’t snap any photos of me this weekend because I fell off the fashion wagon. Yesterday was an all-day movie fest with my pal Geoff so I stayed in my PJs all day. Nobody needs to see that.
Today – I’m also in PJs so again… I thought I’d spare you guys. But here’s what I wore on Thursday and Friday…

Skirt: Urban Outfitters from about 7 years ago. I’m not kidding. 7 years. This is an elastic waist band skirt and I love the pattern. I was skeptical to wear this since I wasn’t sure what top would work with my growing belly…
Top: NY & Company from about 4 years ago. This is some cheap-o yellow cable knit type sweater thing. I’m not going to lie – while I like when something can emphasize my belly, I just felt a little uncomfortable in this top.
Shoes: Like I needed to take a photo of the black flats I’ve been wearing nearly everyday.
Jewelry: You can’t really see it well in the photo but I wore a long silver strand necklace from Banana Republic Factory Store (purchased within the year! See – I buy new things).

Top: Banana Republic Factory Store purchased within the year! I love this top. It is a nice shade of purple, the ruffles are great (especially for a flat-chest gal like myself) and it is a wrap top. Again – I had to hike up the top a bit so that the wrap portion went around the top of my belly instead of around my waist.
Pants: The Limited (it is a part of a suit I own) purchased with the last year. I love this gray suit. I love gray.
Shoes: Nine West mary jane heels purchased about 5 years ago. Can you believe I wore heels? The gray pants are super long so they warrant wearing heels and I couldn’t stand the idea of squeezing my swollen feet into a pointy toed pair of shoes so these were the only heels I owned with a rounded toe:
Fun / Weird Pregnancy Stuff: Holy hell – I cannot remember anything. I know that “pregnancy brain” is a myth (there is no scientific evidence of its existence) but seriously? I cannot remember anything. I’ll often get up from my chair to go do something only to completely forget what I stood up to do. I’ve forgotten people’s names, people’s numbers, tasks, names of everyday objects, EVERYTHING. When does this stop?
And omg – the GAS. I have been so gassy this past week. The reason my belly looks so big on Thursday was because I thought I was going to DIE from gas pains.
I double dog dare you to rock some old Contempo threads. I know you still have something somewhere in your closet.
1) Separates definitely make you look super pregnant. But in an adorable way. Like you’re holding a beach ball against your stomach.
2) I also adore grey. It’s a softer neutral than black. Seriously, the soft charcoal- deep purple-dark blue color pallet is my current favorite.
3) If being forgetful gets worse with pregnancy then if I ever get knocked up I’ll have to wear a name tag. I can barely remember where I am and who I’m talking to now.
Cute outfits! I felt like I wore the same thing over and over… and over again!
P.S. I read that the gas soothes the baby. I totally used that the whole time.
