My Favorite Maternity Outfits

Week 33
I have been very fortunate when it comes to my maternity wardrobe. First off, I have been able to wear several pieces from my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. I was out of my jean bottoms for most of the pregnancy, but I was able to wear several pairs of shorts throughout the summer. I have been wearing majority of my tops throughout the entire pregnancy. This has been a blessing to me as there is something about being comfortable in your 'favorite' items. Secondly, I have had to buy only a few items..being; maternity bras and a few tops. But, I acquired many maternity items from one of our amazing neighbors. She is done having children and literally brought over a wardrobe of maternity clothes--extra plus...my pregnancy followed hers in terms of seasons (and we have a similar style)! Third, I am spoiled and have had some 'splurge' items purchased for me from family members and my husband as surprise gifts throughout the pregnancy. And finally, I have been raiding Andrew's closet the past few months as my belly begins to peek out the bottom of some of my tops....As of tonight, my belly has outgrown Andrew's tee's so it will be interesting what I put together in the final weeks!

Here are, in my opinion, a few best and worst pieces/Brands...

Best: Old Navy Maternity Jeans (They are very comfortable and feel like my own favorite pair.)

Worst: Target Maternity T-shirts (They shrink horribly after the first wash, but they do stay soft if you enjoy wearing soft belly shirts...)

By request here are my favorite outfits to date (as I have several Fall Outfits I am dying to wear).

Favorite Around-the-House Outfit
You asked for it....!
Yes, 95% of the time if you were to knock
at my front door this is what I would be
wearing (don't worry, I put a shirt on
before answering the door though!)
In other words, this is what Andrew
has been living with for most of the pregnancy.
