maternity slump.

To be honest, im a bit of a binge shopper.  I don’t really shop all that much and then ill spend a $100 bucks on a bunch of stuff and satisfy the need for newness in my closet.  The place i do most of my binge shopping is forever21 online (to save myself from walking around all the cropped topped teenagers that remind me that i am so…not…21).  A hundred bones goes a long way at that place.  Sometimes i think it makes Brett jealous, because he’ll spend the same amount as me on a pair of jeans and a t shirt…and i get these big ol boxes delivered to our door step with at least 10 outfits in it.

My need to feed the online shopping beast has pretty much been on hiatus since the bump arrived and can i be real when i say…i hate maternity clothes.  They are comfy as hell, but pretty pricey and really not my style.  I’ve never been a fan of empire waist (especially tops or tunics), ruching, or things that tie.  So since this belly has grown i haven’t really felt like myself.  After some consulting from an extremely fashionable friend o’ mine, I decided to try a little of my old tricks, and just up the sizing a bit.

i am irrationally excited about this dino tank.  its nice to have something ridiculous to throw on on those hot summer days.  and of course what would a shop binge be with out unneccessary accessories…

    Excited to hear how you get on with the size up option! I am sooo tired of the maternity clothes I have now, and I was originally thinking that I was being practical and would wear them again when I have another one down the track – but, I never, ever, want to see them again!!! haha
    Looking forward to reading more of your blog. How many weeks are you?
    Also, feel free to enter the give away that I’m holding. 🙂

      I actually forgot to post this on Friday (oops!) and already got them and they fit perfect! It may get a little tricky the further along i get. I’m 24 weeks today, so theres still plenty of growing to do, but its nice to feel like im dressing like me again. I’d definitely recommend sizing up tops instead of maternity.

      I LOVE your blog and that you call your baby a little dino! its so fun to see other soon to be moms going through this journey at the same time!

      Congrats on your little one!
