Work - 1/16/12

SO. i was about to give up on this whole blogging thing....too much work, too little time.... however, then I found a whole new reason to blog - maternity clothes. Yes, i am preggo with #2 - which means I get to say bye bye to a huge portion of my closet in favor of good ole maternity wear.

I am only 16 weeks along now, so though i cant wear any of my non-maternity pants anymore, I can still wear a lot of my tops (tho some have become crop tops). I am trying to wear as many as i can in the coming weeks before I can't squeeze into them anymore. Dressing while preggo is a struggle for me - I always feel like I look frumpy no matter what, which is difficult when you are expected to look polished at work. Also, I am so NOT interested in shopping for new clothes, since I know this is my last pregnancy and whats the point in buying things i will only wear for a few months? So, my mission is to just buy some good key maternity items (good pants, mostly) and get creative with the rest - maybe try to buy things I'll be able to wear post-baby too? and accessorize!

Today I got to dress casual for work (in honor of MLK day - would rather have had the day off but whatevs), so I wore my new ABSOLUTE FAVORITE corduroys from Old Navy - seriously these pants are SO freaking comfy I could wear them every day. I hope they still fit me after pregnancy. I love that the waistband kinda looks like normal pants too - no big ole silly panel or an elastic band that cuts of my circulation! yay! Also, you will see the rest of my outfit is all non-maternity...mission accomplished! however, i was lagging a bit on the accessories - too lazy today.
