Since I've been talking about my pregnancy and the baby so much lately, I thought why not just smother you guys with one more post about it while I'm still baby registry shopping and that's all that is on my mind? But instead of talking about baby clothes or bragging about having a boy, which I'm still excited about, I thought that I would share some things I'm really torn up about not being able to wear this year. And if you saw my wardrobe you'd definitely know why.
Crop Tops used to be something that I wore almost every single day in the summer. I have a really cute crochet crop top in a lovely off-white color that I got last year that I'm absolutely obsessed with, it's similar to this one from H&M although I think I got mine from Pac Sun. I also have a million shirts that I turned into crop tops from thrift stores, because that's seriously my thing. I have at least twenty crop tops all together. I've always been very thin and toned without having to workout or anything, so I could pull that stuff off. Not with a baby in there though.
Anything with a high-waist, because nearly all of my skirts are worn up around the waist line and I have a pair of amazing high-waist shorts that I got from a thrift shop the summer before last that just started to fit me right this year because I started to get a butt. Turns out the only reason I was getting a butt was because I was pregnant. They're semi-similar to these from Urban Outfitter's, but mine are less shredded and a bit higher.
Most of my bras and bathing suits are way, way too small for me now. My boobs went from a large A cup or small B cup to a large C, and I'm thinking there's a possibility I may have to switch to D! Now I know for sure that I actually liked having small boobs and that wasn't just something I said because I was insecure about having small boobs. I've been thinking of buying a maternity swimsuit, but come on look at this little beauty from Forever21.
That really isn't it though, guys! I'm growing out of all of my favorite things because my wardrobe is basically super tiny because I'm small and I like to wear things that are either short or tight. I'm trying to class up my wardrobe lately, though. Tell me if you guys like this and I'll plan another one for the fall. If you can't tell I'm getting pretty experimental with my blog lately. I just want to do the best things I can to help you guys out! What are your favorite summer items? And if you're pregnant is it something that's still accessible to you? Got any tips for extending my pre-pregnancy wardrobe? I'm trying really hard! Damn, I sound cheap.
I bet you'll ping back to size and be wearing all of this fairly soon again! Jealous that you can wear crop tops, my stomach and short legs make me look gross. x

I really hope so. My mom told me when she had her first at my age that she just went right back to how she was and even got smaller without trying, so hopefully I'll have her good genes in that regard. Girl, wear a crop top if you want. I've been seeing like really big girls rocking them lately and looking hot anyways. xx
DeleteI'm 6 mths preggo and I feel you on that list! What has worked for me is to get maternity pants, shorts and maxiskirts and stick to regular tops in larger sizes. I've found very few "maternity" tops that are actually fashion-forward. Most of all, embrace your new bod! Try not to worry too much about your pre-pregnancy wardrobe (I promise, it will still be there post-pregnancy). You're a fashionista - you can create hot new looks even with a bump.

When is your due date? I've been meaning to ask you! I've been doing the same and since my mom and sister are a lot bigger than me I've been borrowing they're stuff more often because it looks a lot better, in my opinion, than a lot of maternity stuff I've found.
DeleteToo bad :( That bra is gorgeous! What about a high-waisted, flowy skirt and a crop top? Your belly will be under the skirt!

The only problem with that is that most high waisted things come up to the belly button and it would be squeezing my stomach a lot which would be very, very uncomfortable and it would be highly unflattering. Basically I would look fat and not pregnant ):
