Hello lovely readers,

I'm at 39 weeks here... and almost done with pregnancy (just one week left to go)! At this point I'm ready to be over with it and just want to meet the little one who loves kicking up a storm every night :) 

Hello lovely readers!

I'm 36 weeks here and dressed up for a baby shower at hubby's work... his co-workers were so sweet to throw us one!

In these pics I'm wearing a dress from Asos Maternity, which has been one of my favorite places for pregnancy fashion.  Like I mentioned in some earlier blog posts, this cut is perfect for pregnancy - the empire waist and cris-cross wrap neckline look and feel great during this time! And Asos has a great variety of prints and dress styles.

Hope you're all staying warm during this cold front!

Hey everyone!

At 36 weeks now, so almost there! I'm wearing the same cris-cross sweater from Pink Blush Maternity that I wore in an earlier post here. This time I just chose a more casual style, pairing the sweater with jeans and wedge sneakers for a stroll through Old Town Alexandria.

Hello lovely readers! 

I am now at 35 weeks!

The sweet folks over at Pink Blush Maternity sent me some maternity/nursing tops to review and feature on the blog. In these photos, I'm wearing their criss-cross draped knit maternity/nursing top (available here). You know how much I love this neckline for maternity - it's completely flattering during this time - and the cinched sides take in your waist while giving you extra belly support. If you're in the market for maternity or nursing clothes, be sure to check them out! They have a great range of basics. I'd noticed the sweaters were a bit snug, so I'd keep in mind to maybe order a size up. And if you have any Pink Blush outfits, be sure to share them with #PrettyinPinkBlush for your chance to win a $250 gift card to their site! 

The skirt here is from Asos Maternity which has also been one of my favorite places to shop during pregnancy. While I've missed trying out cute new trends during this time, Asos has had some great, stylish pieces in their maternity section. This pencil skirt has a cool leather panel down the side that adds a little texture and style.

Hello there!

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to go to nearby markets and check out local vendors. Recently I went to DC Meet Market in Logan Circle, where there were some great vendors selling their interesting designs! One vendor was selling gorgeous handknit pieces she sourced from Peru. Another created upcycled furniture pieces, and yet another had the cutest idea that converted a foodtruck into fashion and accessories boutique! You never know what you're gonna find when you go, which is half the adventure!

We finished up with snacks at Le Diplomate, which had the yummiest Vietnamese coffee ever!

Hello there lovely readers!

I'm at 30 weeks now (that's 7 1/2 months)... so the big day is approaching quickly! And I've started having dreams of meeting the little one. In the last one, she spoke perfect English at birth and was telling me, "Mommy, everything's gonna be OK!" :)  

In the shots below, we took a coffee break at a cute corner bakery in Old Town Alexandria I'd been wanting to try out for a while called Bittersweet.

Hello there!

Still at 7 months, and enjoying the beautiful fall weather here in D.C. Sometimes hubby and I like to go for a stroll around Old Town Alexandria and explore the new shops and restaurants. We'd never tried Union Street Pub before, and found they had a pretty extensive brunch and lunch menu (lots of crabcakes!) It's right by the waterfront if you're ever in the neighborhood.

I'm wearing a dress from Asos Maternity here. It's the first piece I bought from them, and must say, I absolutely love it. I think I've already worn it a million times. I love the cute bird print and comfortable material, but most of all, I love the shape - empire waisted, cut right above the knee, with a flattering criss-crossing neckline. It's been the perfect thing to throw on in summer and now layer in fall.

Hello everyone!

I am at 7 months now! The weather is definitely starting to get colder, so I've taken to layering. Here I'm wearing a suit jacket around my shoulders to give a caped look. It works for the pregnancy silhouette and is also a good option for when weather is unpredictable. I'm also sticking to neutrals here - I tend to like neutrals anyway, but especially now because they complement each other and are great to layer.

This olive green is one of my favorite colors, probably because it works well with everything from beige to black. I got it recently from Forever 21, which I found has been a great source for pregnancy clothes because they're not much of an investment. Another thing I've learned about pregnancy fashion is that creating some structure in your ensemble - whether through a jacket or belt - is really important in avoiding a "tent" shape and not looking bigger than you really are.

I'll be back with more style posts soon!

xoxo
