2nd Trimester

Six Ways Challenge: A/W14: Look Six

This last week or so has been so super crazy. Our family just bought our very first house. And with a toddler a pregnant belly and a full time job- you can imagine it’s been busy. We are still living out of boxes but I pulled aside a few basics that I can mix and match until we get more settled. The Protector Lover Mother beanie is an easy small accessory that I can use to make an outfit feel a little more pulled together and, well, accessorized haha. Also, you can’t go wrong with all black right?! I paired it with my LB Crossover tee and a ripped black jean for an easy, edgy, put together look. Now no one has to know that almost everything I own is still in boxes.

This was the last shot we took of the day just being silly- pretty pleased to say I’ve still got jump skillz at almost 7 months pregnant! haha.

Friends of ours got married Monday in simple courthouse wedding. I left work an hour early so we could join them in celebration with a little reception of sorts at their house. I packed heels to dress this look up post work, but they are the most uncomfortable heels I own and….I’m pregnant, so turns out I just wore leopard slip ons to the party. 😉 It was so nice to be able to celebrate with them! Congrats K& V!!

I’m totally “mom’d” out today with my Protector Lover Mother beanie AND my Madre tee! For this casual rocker maternity look I’m wearing my Blanqi support tank (which I wear every single day!) which is long enough and tight enough that I can still wear all my favorite skinny jeans (unzipped of course) without anyone having a clue. I layered this stretchy polka dot tank underneath for a little peek a boo surprise. A denim vest fits nicely under a leather jacket and adds some more texture and detail to an otherwise simple look. And all the layers and options are perfect for the unpredictable LA weather!

Boho: 20 Weeks

Halfway through this pregnancy and still not wearing much maternity. I did however invest in a Blanqi support tank and so far I love it! As a petite lady, the belly band never really did so much to hold my jeans up. It basically just covered the fact that they were unzipped/unbuttoned, but didn’t really keep anything in place which was annoying. Not only does the Blanqi keep my pants snugly in place, it also offers support and smoothing. Win Win. I was unsure about the $70 price tag so I purchased from Nordstrom’s online since they have a great return policy. Also reviews recommended buying a size up. For example I am a XS but I ordered the small and it seems like the right fit! So far I am wearing it everyday under everything so it seems like a good investment.
