Delight in Old Navy

In my pregnancy, I've accumulated four of these foldover skirts from Old Navy. At $15 each, and with the fold that can cover my belly, it was totally worth the investment. I also plan to be able to wear them after baby comes since they fit so well under the bump.




I picked this seahores tee last week at Old Navy for $10 (in addition to my fourth foldover skirt). Anything that fits over the belly is worth it these days. And believe it or not, I purchased my first pair of skinny jeans as well. For only $15 I figured I should take the plunge.


I still need to get them hemmed, but I think it's pretty impressive that I took a risk and dared to even try them on. Who would have thought it possible to buy one's first pair of skinny jeans when 30 pounds overweight?

As the bump gets bigger, the dresses get shorter.

I had to add two maxi dresses to my wardrobe last week. Many of my other knee-length dresses are not up to the task of accomodating my expanding belly while simultaneously covering my legs.

So I jumped on the band wagon and picked up some inexpensive finds at Ross. I was looking around for more options and while this dress is twice what I paid for either of my Ross dresses, it's still worth a second glance.

And since I'm in Sandy so often to visit my brother, I may as well stop by the Forever21 down town and try some of their maxis. It's nice not worrying about adjusting anything while at work or church. I just layer a maxi over a wonder tee and call it good. It's weird to wear flats instead of heels, but I think they're a must when wearing a maxi.

This DownEast maxi is also a great find, and I'm partial to it in black. I didn't think I'd like maxi dresses (because I'm only about 5'4") but if you get just the right length for your body type you can totally pull off.
