So I heard about the new Boden Maternity line last week and did a little jump for joy. (you know because I’m in the growing a child kinda of way right now) I can’t get enough of a Boden catalog when it comes in the mail due to all the colors and color combos and oh my it’s just pure joy. So when I heard about them having a maternity line now I seriously, I shit you not, did a little dance. Check out the cuteness for yourself.
Boden Maternity, Boden
I’m lucky enough to have a fantastic job that I love AND I get to work from home! Working from home means, I rarely wear makeup (unless I have a lunch date w/ one of my fabulous Tipsy gals or co-workers) and I rarely wear anything other than lounge wear.
Luckily, me being preggo has not effected this part of my wardrobe because I can still wear ALL of my pre-pregnancy faves (at least as far as the pants go)! Here are some of the staples of my “working from home” wardrobe:
I wish people would tell you that you will essentially have 2 maternity wardrobes, and I’m currently on 2.0. I guess this may not be true for everyone, but I will tell you that I woke up one morning and over half of my maternity wear had turned to crop tops! This may be because I have a really long torso and it may also be because I am carrying this baby ALL out front…either way, I had an excuse to pick up these cute duds!
I finally did it, over the weekend, I had to break down and buy some maternity jeans! (I will admit that they are the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever put on.)
Buying the jeans got me browsing the interwebs and looking at my options for the new winter wardrobe I’m getting closer and closer to having to purchase…
While I will be glad to say goodbye to maternity wear and pregnancy in the near future (HELLO pants with real buttons and zippers!), I have to say that being preggers in the fall must have it’s perks.
One: I’m positive you will be much less sweaty
Two: These cute cool weather pieces
I think by now everyone has gotten on board with the Merona dresses from Target. Cute, trendy, sometimes knocked off of fab JCrew dresses with 45 times the price tag….y’all know what I’m sayin. Well, I’m pleased to announce I have just landed upon some Merona maternity dresses on Target.com. No, I have not seen these in my store, but I trust you Merona.
OMG, this is good news I am here to report! Y’all know I use tons of Forever21 items in my posts and I must admit that I do tend to go there first for my trendy bargains. I have truly missed being able to waltz up to my local mall and scoop up a new top for $10.00 or less, as there are very few items that will cover my baby bump in that store. Problem SOLVED. Love21 Maternity is like the best idea since sliced bread and I can not tell you how excited I am.
It’s been a while since we went on a good ole’ fashioned bargain hunt… how about these ADORABLE finds for under $10!!
Being the ruffle-aholic that I am, I was SUPER excited to see this lovely maternity top that will let me be all girled up with out breaking the bank. (Um, maternity wear is ‘spensive y’all) And… purple and gray happens to be a favorite color combo of mine as well. BONUS!
Whew! It was a very busy beginning of 2010 for the Der Family with anniversary, birthdays, Valentine’s day, new weiner dog… and even all that wasn’t enough for us. Well, people of the internet world, I’m with child. I am 10 weeks preggers with our first baby and couldn’t be more tired, nauseous or more thrilled! So, to celebrate this monumental occasion today is the first of several maternity $50 Fridays to come, I’m sure! Cuz, now I have yet another arena to spread my bargain shopping wealth….maternity wear. So, Here we go….
