Helping women love what they wear on a budget

6 Ways to Wear Black Leggings and a Black T-shirt

Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget- How to Wear Black Leggings and a Black T-Shirt
Welcome to my 3rd blog post in my series on Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget.  So far I’ve covered What to Buy in the Maternity Department and What Not to Buy and Where to Buy Affordable Maternity Clothes.  If you haven’t read those posts I recommend checking them out.  For my next few posts, I want to start sharing some outfit ideas using some of the basic maternity items I talked about before and share how you can build upon them. For today’s post, I’m sharing 6 outfits wearing my black maternity leggings and a black maternity short sleeve t-shirt.
I always find a black base, whatever it may be, is one of the easiest things to style.  Being pregnant, I’m all about comfortable clothes at the moment.  That’s why leggings are probably one of the most worn items in my wardrobe.  There are so many cute ways that you can wear leggings.  I often wear a black top with my leggings, because I don’t think you can ever go wrong with black.  It’s slimming, dark and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t look good wearing black.

I don’t share my husband much on here, but this I don’t share my husband much on here, but this trend felt like a fun way to look back at our story! I had to dig deep on Facebook for some of these photos! 💕

He was the one who told me that shopping wasn’t a hobby and I needed to find a free hobby to keep me busy when we were first married. 😅 So I started a blog about living life to the fullest and dressing my best on a super tight budget.

Little did we know that “free hobby” would not only one day turn into my job, but it would also be a way to fund my shopping habit. Even helping me become a smarter shopper along the way! 😉

Fun fact: The name “Thrifty Wife, Happy Life” came from him. When making big decisions, Kevin always said “happy wife happy life”. So when I was brainstorming a name for my blog that popped into my head and I decided to do a little play on words. The original name I was going to pick was “Katie’s Closet”. I’m glad I went with the name I did!
