I've received a lot of feedback that you guys missed my outfit posts.
Well, the reason for the lack of them was "first trimester bloat" and it's real....oh it's real. Apparently nobody felt it useful to tell me about this pregnancy menace, but it can totally make you feel like a fatty. Despite having not gained any weight yet, all of the clothes in my closet have seemed to be tugging and pulling in weird ways (thanks slowed down digestive system and giant grapefruit sized uterus!). But, I was feeling cute in this outfit, so I decided to recruit my mom snap some photos. I've officially decided that little shift dresses are great for this stage of pregnancy.
If you want to read about some of my other wardrobe suggestions to combat first trimester bloat, or really just any bloat (think PMS or post-Thanksgiving feasting), feel free to check out my post on it over at Babble {here}.
dress: Old Navy
cardigan: Nine West
earrings: can't remember

I think I'm going to need to start bookmarking your pregnancy posts for that day when I'm pregnant - great tips in your Babble post :)
ReplyDeleteI want this outfit SO badly! The dress is so pretty and I'm dying over the shoes. You look gorgeous Lauren :)
ReplyDeleteCute! I love those shoes, I can't believe they came from F21!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Lauren!! Can't wait to read more about your pregnancy and hopefully I will follow along right after you. Our kids can be blogger buddies. Getting so excited to see you!!! XO!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of first trimester bloat. LOL I love how every pregnancy is so unique. And that outfit is stellar!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good outfit! I loved this post - funny!
ReplyDeleteI've absolutely been there! It's frustrating because you're nowhere near being able to wear maternity, but you don't feel great in your own clothes. It does pass eventually, but dresses seem to be a great way to manage this in-between stage.
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks super cute on you. You can't tell you are pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious for the day when your little belly shows because I know you are going to be one stylish pregnant mama.
Aw you look so cute! Yay for pregnancy style.

Those shoes are super cute! I think I imagine feeling fatter permanently the moment I would find out that I'm preggers. Not excited for that, but I guess it's worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteso cute!! and BIG congrats, so exciting!! Such happiness xo
ReplyDeleteI read your post over @ babble, even tho I'm not preggo and hope never to be, but they make me laugh and I love the one on the books...will totally have to get Let's Panic if I'm ever preggo. :-D
