Typical maternity outfit? Not so much. But hellooo autumn!!! I’ve been waiting a while for the LA heat wave to subside and it seems like it finally has a tad which allows me to reintroduce boots and sweaters into the mix!

Nomadic Prints
I’d like to preface this post by letting you know that everything I am wearing is quite old and no longer for sale (I hate nothing more than having my heart set on something only to find out that it’s sold out everywhere). This dress is an oldie-but-goodie from H&M and has an artsy-cool print with patches of embroidery and a scoop back with adjustable straps. Perfect piece to just throw on and go.
A pregnant girl’s best friend
This is my latest dinner date outfit. (Trust me, it’s not easy finding outfits that make you feel attractive when you’re 7 months pregnant!) One thing I know for certain… aside from drawstring sweatpants, jersey pencil skirts are a pregnant girl’s best friend. Sure they are generally viewed as being quite casual, but add some patent stilettos and they’re good enough for a night out.
“Splurging” on Affordable Fashion
Is it crazy to say that I splurged on a sweatshirt at H&M? It’s definitely odd coming from me and is unlike my usual “this was a steal at H&M!” but this sweatshirt stared me down in all its beaded glory and I knew I had to have it. I love the colors, the pattern, and the chainmail-like weight of it (yes, it’s super heavy). So, what’s your price limit on an utterly-covet-worthy-but-deep-down-still-just-a-pullover-cotton-sweatshirt?
Burgundy bump in BH
Nothing makes me happier than finding a perfectly-tailored [non-maternity] silk blouse that accommodates a bump perfectly. I got this on sale at a department score closing, but luckily you still can too since it’s marked down on Amazon!
Slouchy Summer
Slouchy tees are a staple of summer. And since I tend to get cold indoors with the AC on full-blast, I like to keep good lightweight slouchy cardigan with me to throw on top! This one was a bargain and although it’s a ‘cash’ item, it’ll be in my closet for years to come!
I just ate two meals
This little belly controls me. Last night I went home and cooked for 4 hours straight (I ended up making two meals because I couldn’t make up my mind!). Luckily this flowy dress comfortably accommodates my newly-found roundness and makes me feel… well… a little more glamorous!
On Target for Summer
This color blocked outfit is none other than a compilation of Target finds. Some designer collaborations, some maternity, and some must-have wardrobe staples!
For Love and Lemons SKIVVIES Party
Last Thursday I attended the second annual For Love and Lemons SKIVVIES lingerie party where their new collection of super-sexy lace and mesh pieces were put on live display (you can also check out my coverage of their launch last year here).
Road trip!
A desert road trip calls for a comfy tank, flats, and shorts with just the right amount of give (luckily all maternity pants are stretchy around the waist!). All of these pieces were bargains, from the $29 sandals to the $25 shorts. The purse was a Wasteland find and the tank was another recent Anthro sale score.
