Yes to Denim Leggings!

After doing some research, I actually found denim maternity leggings online at Motherhood Maternity. I couldn't resist....I ordered them as a trial and actually fell in love. They are so comfortable that I haven't wanted to take them off since. Ben is still a little skeptical about the "jeggings" but I am planning on wearing them a lot!

The Whole Juno

We didn't end up going to any parties this year, but since I already gathered the costume together, I went ahead and put it on for a picture. Halloween just isn't the same for me without dressing up! I tried to talk Ben into being Bleeker, but he wasn't that enthusiastic. Notice I included the Sunny Delight, which is actually my favorite craving! Thanks to one of my students for letting me borrow the skirt and shoes...it made it more fun!

Happy Halloween!

My festive attire for today:

This is half of my Juno costume...Being a high school teacher, I thought I shouldn't wear the entire thing to school as to not promote teenage pregnancy! If I complete the outfit I'll wear a skirt over the jeans and a hoodie--very easy costume for a pregnant girl!

 I borrowed the awesome Chuck's from a student!

Denim Leggings?

Since becoming pregnant and venturing into the land of maternity clothes, I have gotten very much into wearing leggings. I have never worn them before, but suddenly they are the most comfortable thing around. I would much rather wear stretchy leggings and a long, flowy top then frumpy or too tight pants and a girdle-like sweater. (I guess it all becomes girdle-like at some point). I feel okay with wearing black, grey , or brown, but have been considering venturing into the land of denim and am a bit unsure....I feel like they could be the perfect pair to my brown sweater dresses because a brown dress with brown leggings and brown boots is a bit monochromatic for me. I also like how Whitney Port paired them with a flowy top and flats.

On the other hand, I feel they are very hit or miss. No one wants to end up looking like an over-stuffed 80's throwback...or do they?

So, what's the verdict? Does skin-tight denim have a place in my world? I'll let ya know.

Black, White, and Green All Over

Katie & Joe Crabtree Wedding Festivity Outfits

Thursday night cocktail party: The bump was in full effect, but somewhat camoflouged in this picture because of those polka-dots!

Friday night rehearsal dinner: The dress is somewhat hidden, but it was flowy and comfortable. I found it on sale at White House/Black Market this summer. Don't worry, that is just sparkling cider for the two pregnant ladies!

Wedding day: Black dress, also clearance from White House/Black Market, with a green pashmina. As a reader in the wedding, I wanted to go along with the theme of black, white and lime green!

I didn't get any full shots, but these are my shoes, by Madden Girl, from T.J. Maxx. They had lots of lime green, to go with the shawl. I even made it till midnight on the dance floor without taking them off!

Look at this rock!
