bump week 26

dress: Old Navy

cardi: Target

tights: Target

booties: Tom's

I am definitely feeling MUCH bigger and looking much bigger too. This dress was probably the last non-maternity purchase I made, thinking it would accommodate my growing belly. It does accommodate but I wouldn't say it's very forgiving. It's a whole lot of plaid. 

I honestly didn't care for this look. There is a reason to buy maternity clothes. Even though this dress is long enough and big enough, it just didn't fit properly and as a result I felt uncomfortable in it. I am at the end of my second trimester and it's hard to believe I am just going to get bigger.

Overall, I feel very lucky. People constantly ask how I am feeling and I have felt great throughout. I haven't been sick or uncomfortable at all. If my clothes not fitting is my biggest problem, I count myself fortunate. 

laugh til I cry

 dress: Sway

bandeau: Forever 21

cardigan: GAP sale

Hella and State Love necklaces, Sacred Heart ring: Unpossible Cuts

Hawk wedges: Seychelles

I have almost sold this dress several times. In the end, each time I didn't because it has such unique details that I felt like it is a dress to hang on to. I finally bought one of those little lace bandeau tops to go under super low cut tops like the neckline of this dress. Modesty preserved. :)
I wore this to lunch with the amazingly, talented guys behind Unpossible Cuts. They are responsible for the beautiful necklaces I wear constantly. I picked up a few new pieces, including the gold stained, wooden, sacred heart ring I am wearing above. I did a photo shoot for them right when they were launching their website last summer and they asked me to model for them again. I get so self conscious posing when an actual person is holding the camera. I prefer my self timer any day but they will undoubtedly make me laugh until I cry and I'll forget to be shy eventually.
