Outfit Of The Day: Tribal Tee

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

This used to be a tunic thing. I usually wore it as a beach cover up over my swimsuit. But today, it fits like a tee shirt. Keeping it simple and comfy but still fun with a little pattern.

Outfit Of The Day: Liz Lange Dress Still Holding Strong

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

Hello Monday. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Ours was pretty nice. We had a super fun maternity shoot on Saturday and I cant wait to get the photos back so I can share them! It was so much fun. My co-worker and his wife just moved here from Brazil 5 months ago, she is a photographer and looking to build her portfolio here in LA. She asked to photograph me fairly early on in the pregnancy and I was really excited about it, but we just now got around to it. I was worried that at 37 weeks (ready to pop!) I wouldn’t feel very photogenic and I wouldn’t have as many cute clothing options to wear, but I actually felt great and was really happy!

I rode the wave of feeling great and being comfortable & confident with my body and decided to rock a knee length dress today (hello there thigh high compression hose!). This is my Liz Lange for Target dress that I found on clearance for $10 and it has proven to be a great staple through out the pregnancy (as seen here and here and here). So find yourself a stretchy black simple maternity dress, I imagine you won’t regret it!

Outfit Of The Day: Elastic It Is Then

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

I tried to wiggle my way into my pair of red maternity jeans, and while I managed to eventually get into them I decided they were probably not going to be very comfortable given the dance it took to get into them haha – so leggings it is! PS apparently I’m a total ham today, you have been warned.

As much as I didn’t want to be one of those people that was like “okay, I’m over it”, last night when I was trying to figure out what to wear I was kind of “over it”. It’s sad – I don’t want to have that bad attitude. But I haven’t felt my fingertips in weeks (pregnancy carpal tunnel), I hate the way my legs look, shooting pains in my forearms are keeping me up at night, even when I sleep with a wrist brace (again, pregnancy carpal tunnel),  and I’m sort of sick of wearing compression hose around the clock. But this morning when I was rubbing lotion on my bare belly I actually felt beautiful and grateful for all the amazing things my body is capable of. I know that in just a few weeks the feeling in my fingers will return but there is a possibility this belly will not (only time will tell). So, I started today a-new and really tried to cherish my body. I think I am finding it particularly challenging because I have never had body issues (very thankfully) and it really can play mind games on you. So here is to starting over and trying not to beat yourself up. To cherishing your body, focusing less on your “Shrek” feet and swollen legs and more on the awesomeness that is childbirth. It’s amazing what we are capable of and I know that I am strong enough and capable enough to put up with a little discomfort a little bit longer.

Originally, I didn’t have the belt on this morning and John said something to the effect of “really covering it all up there, maternity style huh?” Which may have had something to do with my bad attitude (“whatever, it fits, it works”) But I added the belt to give it more shape and it made me feel better. It goes to show that taking an effort in your appearance at all stages of pregnancy can greatly effect not only how you look but also how you feel.

Outfit Of The Day: Guns N’ Roses

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

As I was trying clothes on I initially by-passed this outfit at first, thinking it was maybe a bit much. Then John said “what happened to Guns N’ Roses?” after I started to try on another outfit. I said “Oh, you liked that one?” and he said “yeah, duh!”. So I guess it wasn’t too much after all….well, that’s debatable.

It’s hard to say because I am carrying so high but I feel like the baby MIGHT have dropped or started dropping. He seems slightly lower and I definitely feel a bit more room around my ribs etc. Maybe he’s still working on it, we’ll see hehe.

Outfit Of The Day: Pattern Me Periwinkle

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

If it looks like I can barely keep my eyes open in these photos, that’s because its true! I am utterly exhausted. This whole making a baby thing is real tiring! Especially these last few weeks!

Things are forecast to warm up a bit here this week but I’m kind of dreading it. Even though I still have warm weather clothes that fit, I feel like my legs look like tree trunks lately and I’m not really looking forward to the idea of wearing shorts or short dresses. Even if I wear my compression hose (I bought a thigh high version that I have yet to wear) I almost feel like- “what’s the point, that’s probably about as warm as wearing pants”. Meh, we will see. Maybe I will take advantage of the fact that I’m inside the office most of the day and it’s easier to get away with wearing pants as the temperature is better regulated. Speaking of being in the office- I only have to work in the office for about 2 more weeks! After Fourth of July I will be able to work from home up until the babies birth and as this pregnancy progresses I am really looking forward to it!

Some of you may have the convenience of wearing your husbands Tshirts when you get to be 36 weeks pregnant. That doesn’t happen when you are 5’5″ and your husband is 6’2″- you’re an XS and hes an XL. So I had to buy my own mens Tshirt haha.

Outfit Of The Day: Gloomy Panama

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

In all honesty, we are having some serious June gloom here in Los Angeles and this Panama hat is totally un-necessary but I wanted to wear it anyway! I know I keep saying I’m done shopping, and with 4 weeks left I think I have made a valiant effort to stop buying things but last night I had an hour to kill before yoga (trouble) so I did a little browsing at TJ Maxx (duh). I got this entire outfit (minus the hat) for $36!! Yeah, that’s right, pants and a top for $36. And to be fair, if $36 makes you feel a little like a million bucks when you have cankles and cant feel your sausage fingers I say it’s totally worth it!

Outfit

White Jeans: TJ Maxx ($19) – These are stretchy and sized up several sizes from my pre-pregnancy size. They also have adorable zipper details that you cant really see under this giant belly haha.

Oversized Tank: TJ Maxx ($12)- Kind of love the shape of this tank. It reminds me a bit of Hatch Maternity, only, you know, it cost $12 instead of $120. It’s also not a maternity item and I think it will be great after the baby is born to hide a little belly. Might even add it to my hospital bag as an option for wearing home from the hospital!

Shoes: Converse ($45)

Panama Hat: J.Crew ($58)

Blazer: Target

PS still rockin’ those sexy compression hose. They are making things much better.

This dress is crazy comfy. I have two dresses by Max Studio that I found at TJ Maxx. One is short and then this long maxi, they are made of the softest stretchiest cotton ever and they are heaven.

Outfit Of The Day: Rosie The Riveter Meets Popeye

Gaelyn • Leave a Comment

I was pretty amazed to find that these pants still fit comfortably. I seem to be outgrowing items every week and the window of wearable clothes is becoming smaller and smaller. If you remember, these pants are not a maternity item and given that most of my maternity pants don’t even fit comfortably anymore I thought for sure these were out. But I humored myself and attempted to put them on only to find they fit just fine with plenty of room and stretch! Huzzah!

I wanted to pair them with a Fred Perry polo and go for a bit of an Oi look, but I was worried I was stretching out my Fred Perry and I might end up ruining it, never to be worn post belly again. So I chose to go with a simple white tee, because lets be honest, these pants are kinda crazy, you gotta keep things simple.

The headscarf with the chambray work shirt made me feel a bit like Rosie the Riveter, but then I also apparently channeled Popeye when the camera came out!

Oh and guess?! My pantyhose version of my compression hose showed up! It’s kinda weird how excited I was about this haha. I bought a thigh high version for skirts and shorts and a knee high version for with pants. See how I’m wearing them and you can hardly tell? At least a lot less noticeable than the black ones so, Success! These bad boys ought to help make the next few weeks bearable. If you need a pair- this is where I got them.
