Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

January 18, 2016 by Katie Haller

As I said last week, getting dressed is getting to be a challenge.  It’s not only difficult finding outfits, but it’s hard to find the energy to look cute.  I still feel like it’s important to try to dress cute through these last few weeks.  It helps me have better confidence in myself and confidence is important when your pregnant, especially in your last month.

Last weekend I used a gift card I got for Christmas on a couple new tops from Nordstrom Rack, my new favorite store.  Nordstrom is my favorite department store, but I don’t always get a chance to shop there. Plus, it takes a lot of trips to the department store to find the great deals that I’m always looking for.  That’s why their Rack store is amazing!  It’s all the great styles and brands that the department store sells, at such great prices.  I bought a grey print tunic tank top for $9.54 and a striped long cardigan for $11.54.  Any clothes that I buy now, I’m also hoping to wear them after the baby comes.  This is why I will only buy loose-fitting, comfy clothes. 
Since I spent most of my weekend lounging around the house, getting it ready for the baby, I wore my new comfortable clothes.
Here are my outfits from this weekend
Saturday 
Grey Cardigan- H&M
Tunic- Nordstrom Rack
Leggings- Forever 21
Shoes- DSW
Sunday
Cardigan- Nordstrom Rack 
Tank top- Old Navy
Leggings– Kohl’s
Boots- DSW
Here is my baby bump picture for week 35.  I feel huge!  I’ve been feeling a little moody lately.  My moods have been pretty normal all throughout my pregnancy and now I feel like the hormones must be catching up to me.  I’ve also been feeling extremely uncomfortable, which makes sleeping hard for me.  I think I may have set the record for how many bathroom trips I take during the night.  With the lack of sleep, I’ve been losings my energy levels during the day.  On a positive note, I’m getting so close to my due date that it’s hard to believe that I’ll be holding my little boy in my arms before I know it!  I’m getting pretty anxious to meet this little guy.  I cannot wait!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

December 21, 2015 by Katie Haller

 I almost didn’t think that I’d get a chance to post any outfits this weekend, because I’ve been so tired lately.  It’s getting a little harder for me to come up with new outfits each week, but since this is the last time I will have the opportunity to post a bump update in 2015, I figured I should at least try to pick out a couple cute new looks from my closet to share. 
I recently decided to finally bite the bullet and buy a pair of maternity jeans.  My normal jeans are still fitting, but I wanted a comfortable, stretchy pair of jeans for my last trimester.  I ended up finding a pair at Motherhood Maternity (exact here).  Since maternity clothes are not cheap, I waited until Cyber Monday to get a better deal on them.  The jeans were originally $44.98.  I was able to get 30% off with free shipping, bringing the price down to $31.49, more in my price range.  The jeans are cute and super comfortable, so I’ve already gotten a lot of use out of them, but my biggest complaint is that they are a little too baggy.  I’ve run into this problem with all the maternity clothes that I have tried on.  These jeans are just too saggy in the butt and thighs.  It’s annoying, but I’ll make do with them for now, especially since they’re so comfortable.
Here are some outfits I wore with my new jeans this weekend.

 Saturday

 Tank Top- H&M
Sweater- Express
Jeans- Motherhood
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Boots- Target

Sunday

 Top- Kohl’s
Scarf- Target
Jeans- Motherhood
Blazer- Target
Boots- Target

Here is my bump picture for the week.  Besides feeling tired, some of the symptoms I’ve been experiencing have been shortness of breath and feeling light-headed occasionally.  I know those are normal symptoms in your third trimester.  I’ve also been getting leg cramps a lot at night.  They are painful and feel like a growing pain, but I can usually make it go away by stretching or getting up and walking around.  The baby’s kicks are getting harder.  He likes to kick me in the ribs a lot, which doesn’t always feel great, but I still love feeling him move around.
Even though I complain about the uncomfortableness of pregnancy, I feel so blessed to be having such a healthy pregnancy with no major problems.  I honestly was expecting it to be harder than this.  Now I just pray that my little guy is born healthy and the rest of my pregnancy goes smoothly, including the whole labor and delivery thing.  That will be the hard part.  I’m hoping to meet my little boy in 8 weeks and 5 days 🙂

Have a great week and Merry Christmas!!

Lately, Kevin and I have been trying to take advantage of our weekends together, by getting out and exploring new places.  It’s been just the two of us for the last 4 1/2 years and that’s all about to change very soon, in a wonderful way! 
Here is what I wore this weekend…

Blazer- Forever 21
Leggings- Forever 21
Scarf- Nordstroms
Boots- Target

 

 Sunday

I almost forgot to add my bump picture for the week.  I’m 30 weeks this week and so the count down is officially on.  I’m getting very excited and anxious for this little guy’s arrival!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

November 22, 2015 by Katie Haller

This weekend was a quiet one for me.  With Thanksgiving at the end of the week and a trip to California next weekend, I figured me and baby could use the rest.  Saturday I mostly lounged around in yoga pants, so I didn’t feel that outfit was anything cute enough to post.  On Sunday I was still lounging, but I decided to dress up my comfy house look a bit.

Here’s what I wore. 

Sunday

Shirt- Kohl’s

Leggings- Forever 21
Sweater- Target
Boots- Target
Necklace- Charming Charlie
I didn’t get a chance to post a bump update last week, so here’s my baby bump update for this week.  It feels like my belly is huge, but when I look, I realize that there is still a lot of room for him to grow.  I’ve been pretty uncomfortable lately, but I’m trying to stay positive and enjoy this whole experience.  I still have 3 whole months to go.  I guess no one ever said it was easy to grow a human.

Have a great week and enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Weekend Wardrobe- Maternity Style

November 8, 2015 by Katie Haller

  As you may already know, I’m kind of obsessed with stripes.  Why do pregnant people look good in horizontal stripes?  I have no idea, but they are my favorite patterns right now. 
Here are my stripe outfits from the weekend.
Saturday

Tunic Tank Top- H&M
Leggings- Kohl’s
Sweater- Target
Shoes- DSW

Sunday

Dress- Old Navy
Jacket- Meijer
Belt- Target
Shoes- Target

Here is my baby bump picture for the week.  I feel about the same this week as last….lots of growing and lots of pain for mommy in my ribs, but other than that, things have been great.  He’s been kicking away and I love feeling that! 

25-week baby bump
Have a wonderful week!

I’m a little behind with my weekend outfit post, but that’s okay.  It’s better late than never.  I enjoyed a nice long weekend, celebrating Halloween and my first Nevada Day.  Now that the weather has been so nice, Kevin and I have been getting out more on the weekends to explore the area.

Here are the outfits that I wore this weekend.

Friday

Top- Kohl’s 
Leggings- Kohl’s
Necklace- Charming Charlie
Boots- DSW

Sunday
Dress- Target 
Belt- Target
Sweater- Old Navy
Here’s my weekly baby bump picture.  This baby is doing a lot of growing right now and I’m feeling it.  My ribs have been hurting a lot this week, making it really uncomfortable at times.  I never stopped to think about just how much stress your body goes through during pregnancy.  It makes me a little nervous for the next 3 months.  If I’m this uncomfortable right now, I can only imagine how I’ll be feeling during my last couple of weeks.  I guess it’s better than throwing up.  Plus, I have to say that I love watching this little guy grow every day.
