Yes, I am still pregnant...
and running out of things to wear.
Even from the beginning of my pregnancy, I always said that I would not spend a lot of money on maternity clothes, but it is getting to the point where everything feels extremely tight. Luckily the weather has been cooling down, but just a bit, which means I can still wear my stretchy dresses for the last few weeks left of this lovely, 40-week gestational period. Now that I am at the end of my pregnancy with only 3 weeks left (I still cannot believe how quickly time went by), I have to admit that I am a little tempted to purchase some super stretchy and super comfy maternity leggings, or pants. Should I give in?

Snake print flats from Lulus' |
|
Failed attempt at a flatlay |
Due to limited clothing options, I had to keep this look really simple and rely on accessories. I have been wanting to use a hat for so long, but it was very windy on this particular day. I really have the best luck. Not. Speaking of luck, it was cool enough to wear a sweater and I had the perfect blue-green cardigan to throw over my stretchiest black dress. I have been obsessed with animal print lately and found the perfect snakeskin loafers from lulus.com (only $25!) to pair with a white crossbody purse from Target (pronounced tar-jay). I really wish the blue-green tones in the cardigan photographed better, but at least my apricot danish was delicious!
I wish you all a lovely day!
Much love,

That's seriously a gorgeous outfit! I LOVE your lipstick too, such a nice shade. I'm sure it's ok to buy something maternity, afterall it will remind you of your pregnancy as a keepsake!

DeleteHahaha...totally feel you, girl! I say go and just buy the new stuff:D I remember with my first pregnancy, I've just had it with my wardrobe and bought new clothes so close to the day. Of course, a few days later, my little one (then) came early:D
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, you look so fab. This outfit really suits you:)
Lol. That's sooo cute! I'm glad I am not the only one that has felt that way!! Haha. You are always so kind, thank you!
DeleteThe last weeks of pregnancy seem to last the longest. And do invest into some stretchy leggings, you won´t fit into your regular clothes for another few weeks after giving birth, so you´ll get your wear out of them.
ReplyDeleteAnne|Linda, Libra, Loca
You are so right! Thank you so much for the tip! I appreciate it <3

ReplyDeleteViolethollow.com
Haha I couldn't agree more!! Thank you 😊
DeleteYou look so gorgeous and chic in this classic look Perlita! I can understand not wanting to spend a lot of money on a maternity wardrobe if you can get by with stretchy items you already have in your closet. You've done so well so why not you treat yourself to a pair of maternity bottoms just so you can be super comfy before you're due to give birth.
ReplyDeleteYou are sooo kind!! I'm much more comfy these days even if it means sacrificing style lol thank you so much💗
DeleteLove the title of your post. And your look may be simple but it is also quite chic. And yes do get the leggings. I hear they make denim maternity jeans now.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it <3
DeleteIt's exciting everything is so close now! I loved maxi dresses and stretchy maxi skirts in the last few weeks of my pregnancies with my boys - if you have any elastic waist pieces now you will find they are really valuable post-partum too in those first few weeks! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a nice weekend :) We went to our friends wedding yesterday so that was fun :)
