i know i know…selfies (is that what kids are calling it?) in a bathroom mirror, but one does not always have time to do an adorable photo shoot with an awesome back drop and an available husband to snap photos to my liking.

dressing my pregnant belly has proven to be a bit difficult for me.  I’ve always had a small waist and have had my whole life to learn how to accentuate the mess outta that and hide my big bum and hips…now…i have no waist, so its getting tricky.  i would never wear a form fitted dress pre pregnancy (Ive always been a bit self conscious of those curves of mine).  my initial response is to wear something over-sized and baggy, but im realizing that leads to a whole lotta frump.  i am in no way a fashion blogger…although i love fashion, fashion blogs, and all things clothes.  I’m a regular lady, with a regular budget, who has a regular style.  So to all my regular peeps who are rockin a belly, hopefully I’ll tip you off to something that will help with the struggle of dressing that bump.  and if you have tips let me know!  we’re in this together!

side note:  these sandals are awesome with the whole swelling thing.  i usually wear ballet flats to work all the time, but my feet were in need of some space in a desperate way.  they are super comfy and still cute…i highly recommend them.
