Day Fifty-Eight

We're getting to the end of the really horrible flash self-portraits, I promise. The weather at the retreat center was really so unpredictable, I ended up with freakish outfits like this one... empire waist top, layering tank, smocked waist skirt, and velour foldover waist pants. Total, $28ish.

Day Fifty-Seven

Sorry for the goofy pose; I wanted to show off the awesome sleeves on this top. They are flowy and airy and altogether wonderful. Top, tank, skirt, lace-trimmed shorts, and socks total $18ish.

Day Fifty-Six

Ugh, horrible picture quality that comes from using a self-timer with camera propped up on a bunch of snapple bottles in a room with next to no natural light. But here's the belly and the supercute big brother. I'm not sure if I'm combining stripes and dots right, but my options are limited. Stretchy skirt + empire waist top + layering tank + lace trimmed shorts = $23ish.

Day Fifty-Five

Still frantically housecleaning, sweating puddles, and waiting on my laptop... trying to keep things simple. This skirt has a nice stretch to it, which works well for any stage, and the shirt is perfect for maternity wear since it is fitted up top and roomy in the belly. With a layering tank, $19ish.

Day Fifty-Four

Heat wave + laptop failure + camera temporarily out of commission + massive housecleaning = not much going on the coordinated outfit front. We were theoretically having over two weeks of various houseguests and going out of town for five days of that. I had grand aspirations/delusions of tackling huge rarely accomplished projects (at least huge and rarely accomplished here) like cleaning the blinds and scouring the baseboards. Unsurprisingly, those somewhat less drastically necessary tasks fell by the wayside, but I promise that eventually the bathroom was cleaned.

But Sunday marked 28 weeks, so I broke out the dress I wore when I was 28 weeks pregnant with Jack. The belly is definitely bigger this time around! (and not just the belly *sigh*)

So the long stretch of no pictures means I've been looking like a big sweaty blob, but hey! the house looks pretty good. Dress was a hand-me-down, shirt was a gift, so the layering tank and knit skirt with lace trimmed shorts total about $17. The shorts are kind of a necessity with many short skirts since I'm chasing the wild child all the time, so I've culled a few of my normal ones and cut the fronts open as I did with the jeggings.

Day Fifty-Three

This is not the outfit to wear to the park, but I didn't realize when I put it on that I would then be spending two hours and a half climbing up all kinds of playground equipment, careening down slides, running up and down hills, scaling rocks, etc. Shirt, layering tank, and knit skirt, $13ish.

Day Fifty-Two

This top is a little too dressy for everyday comfort, so it has been a long time since I've tried it on, and now it's almost too small, but I guess it's doing pretty well for a non-maternity shirt. It has huge belt loops for a super-wide belt that can't possibly fit now, so I had to find something else to fill that space. Worn with a layering tank and smocked waist skirt, $14ish.
