a love letter to cotton on.

dear cotton on,

thank you.  thank you for making flowy comfy things that are ginormous.  thank you for allowing a 28 week pregnant woman to rock a size small.  your smalls may be the size of a tent, but they say small, therefore making me feel like for, even just a moment, im not a huge beast (because im wearing my pre-pregnant size). if you had a body i would hug it with all of my might!  i’m sorry that i avoided you, because i thought you wouldnt understand.  and your clothes that i love so much would no longer fit me like a glove.  i’ve learned my lesson and i will spend more time with you from now on.   you are the best cotton on, and i love you with all of my heart.

your devoted fan…now and forever,

katie.

the…trying to squeeze as much life into my old clothes as possible edition.

this is all pre prego stuff.  the bump is still small enough to give me a little bit of wiggle room with the wardrobe.  this getting bigger thing is getting a bit tricky though.  i may be due for another maternity shopping spree, but we’ll ride this wave while we can.

I have a bit of a secret.  This dress is not a dress.  Its jammies and i don’t care!  Its the comfiest thing Ive ever worn and it is here to stay!  Its a very rare occasion that I actually rock my glasses (not because I dislike them, but because i actually need them to see and my larger than life prescription gives me a case of the bug eyes) but today i was feeling especially lazy (thus the jammies as a dress ordeal). viva la comfort!

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.
