Style Diary: Blue Short Suit

Here’s a belated style diary post from this past summer before my pregnancy and belly bump.  Ahh, how I already miss the days when I didn’t have to worry about my clothes fitting around my ever-growing waistline!

I remember that on this very hot summer day, I was getting dressed to sign the final papers on our new apartment.  It was an exciting, momentous occasion, one where I needed to commemorate with the perfect corporate yet not too stuffy outfit – something that wouldn’t make me melt in the hot sun and also let me celebrate this occasion in a fun way.

The suit is from Lord & Taylor and is by Love Ady, the purse and shoes are from TJMaxx (purse Cynthia Steffe), and the necklace is from Jcrew.

Style Diary: What to Wear to Work (While Pregnant)

I have a new fashion challenge.  I hardly have any pants or skirts that fit thanks to my expanding waistline and suddenly the figure-hugging tops and shift dresses are making me feel unnecessarily fat.  I’m in that weird 4month stage where I’m not pregnant looking enough to score a seat on the subway yet.  I just look like I have a fat old beer belly.

Here is one outfit that I found to actually still fit…somewhat. If you look closely, you’ll see that the buttons on my shirt are about ready to pop and the same goes for my pant waistline.

Pretty soon, all I’ll be wearing are A-line and tent dresses, and blouse-y loose tops and maternity bottoms so it is nice to be able to wear regular clothes while I can.

More on my recent Century 21 haul where I bought clothes for my new body later.  (Happy birthday to me!)  I hope you’re all having a great week!
