Frugal and Fab: 1 Striped Dress, 3 Ways

I refuse to pay much for maternity fashion.  On one of my maternity fashion hunts, I found this Old Navy non-maternity dress in the clearance rack for around $10 and knew I could rock it with my growing belly.  $10 can go a long way as you can see below and this dress will still look cute post-pregnancy!

In the above 24 week pregnant shot, I wore it with textured navy tights and a red velvet clutch purse.

I replaced the pearl necklace from the first outfit with a scarf, added a cardigan and a matching tote/boot set for a completely different look here.

Change out the cardigan and add springier white accessories, and I have a totally new nautical look!  What’s your favorite?

 

Style Diary: Leopard Cardigan

Upon a friend’s suggestion, I considered for a second, having my own Demi Moore moment and posing for a full-bellied pregnancy shot.  I admit, I browsed through a ton of photographer’s portfolios trying to imagine whether I had the guts to bare it all for one of those artistic pregnant nude photographs.  I couldn’t get into the idea though.  I suppose I haven’t fallen in love with my new body yet and am not sure I ever will.  I still see this transformation as a freaky one and I don’t think I want to commemorate it with a half-naked shot of me and my protruding body part.  I am fine documenting the weekly growth through my blog and my personal style shots.

First photo features me today at 7months pregnant, the second photo at 6.5 months – both sporting the same leopard cardigan, both outfits for work.
