My Maternity Style

hatchAs soon as I found out I was pregnant, I frantically started searching online for maternity clothes and pregnancy fashion blogs. I had no clue where to start! Shortly after I found out, J. Crew launched their line of maternity pants (still anxiously awaiting more selections!), and then found myself buying tons of blouses from Loft’s maternity line (love these so much). I officially retired my old jeans three weeks ago, and am hanging onto my J. Crew Cafe Capris for dear life (very little time left in those!). This has meant that I’ve been on the market for some fashionable work pants – which I found at J. Crew and Asos. I bought two pairs of J. Crew’s J. Crew’s non-materity draped drawstring pants, which work well for my growing waistline, as well as two pairs of their maternity Minnie Pants. I also really like J. Crew’s white matchstick denim pants, but love my Hudson maternity jeans the most! These Asos floral camo pants could not be more comfortable – match them with a black blouse and they work for going out for dinner or going to the office.

As for dresses, I’ve been looking for empire waistlines or tunics and buying 2 to 3 sizes up to be cautious. Anthropologie has a great selection – I love this tan and coral tunic with my white matchstick denim.

Without a doubt, my favorite maternity line is Hatch Collection. After looking at their stuff non-stop for the last few weeks, I finally caved and bought this dress (in Ponte) and these shorts. I want to buy everything.

J. Crew, Loft, Asos, TopShop, H&M, Old Navy, Gap, Rachel Pally, Hatch Collection – know of any other fashionable maternity lines? Always looking for some new options, although I only have 12 weeks left! Here’s to hoping they fly by.

Some of my favorite recent purchases featured below – links at the bottom!

Favorite Looks of the Week

I haven’t done a ‘favorite looks of the week’ in ages – which isn’t to say that I haven’t been obsessing over my favorite bloggers’ outfits. As always, it’s hard to pick a favorite from the group, but I especially love Jacey’s (Damsel in Dior) floral blouse, Rachel’s (Pink Peonies) neon heels, and every part of Christine’s (Hello Fashion) outfit. She makes being pregnant look so cute. She is definitely going to be my style icon over for the 12.5 weeks (time is flying!) – even though she’s due very soon! Which look do you like the most?

Favorite Looks of the Week

It has been ages since I’ve rounded up my favorite looks of the week (last post here). This was definitely not due to a lack of perfectly curated outfits. I’d have to say my favorite is Rachel Parcell’s snowy shoot and Christine Andrew’s sequined baby bump (slightly biased here!). Which of these looks do you like the most?

Favorite Black Boots

BlackBootsEvery year, I splurge on one new pair of boots. I got Tory Burch black ankle booties two years ago and tan DVF boots last year, and I wear them both all of the time (yes, it’s finally fall/winter in  Texas!). As I begin to make my Christmas list, I’ve been tagging some of my favorite black (abd dark gray) boots. I love the Tory Burch Jess Boot (#5) and the Sam Edelman Shay Bootie (#2 – only $140!). Are you a boot fan? Have you spotted any other cute options?

Favorite Looks of the Week

This week has been very, very busy at work, so I didn’t get to catch up on my blog reading until late last night. Lots of beautiful looks to pick from – I’m loving this transitional phase into fall. Lots of plaid, autumn colors and boots. Oh the boots. I especially like Sarah Vickers’ outfit – I want to wear that exact outfit to the Nutcracker this year.
