Dear Baby

Ladies Room Fashion Show. Weeks of April 4 & April 11

Oh hi! What is this post doing here on a Wednesday?  Well, I didn’t get a chance to do last week’s Ladies Room Fashion Show and I’m going to be out of the office at the end of this week so I decided to smush two weeks together and go with it.

Last Monday

EXTREME CLOSEUP!!! This dress didn’t photograph well far away so I got all up close and personal on this one. This has been an easy work dress and one that I plan to hand down to an expecting mama friend this summer.

Dress: I heart Ronson

Lace bolero: Vintage

Belt: Vintage

Shoes (Not Pictured): Seychelle Mary Janes

Last Tuesday

We got a little cold spell last week and I was forced back into my jeans and cardigan routine. You all know how much I love my cardis but I can’t tell you how excited I am to replace them with bare arms. Something about being pregnant makes me want to wear as few clothes as possible.

Cardigan: Isaac Mizrahi for Target

Lacey tunic: A gift from my BFF Natasha. I don’t know the brand but I know it came from Off 5th.

Belt: Vintage

Wedges: Urban Outfitters

Last Wednesday

I am seeing this striped skirt from Asos all over the blogosphere lately. Apparently midi length skirts are all the rage this spring (I read it on the cover of a magazine at my chiropractor’s office this week) so maybe that explains it. I just love them because they fully cover my bump without hiking my hemline up to an inappropriate length.
 

Pink silk top: F21

Skirt: Asos.com (not maternity)

Wedges: Qupid

Monday

I really loved this look. Mainly because it was form fitting and made me feel kinda slim (despite the big baby belly). I also loved it because it was stretchy cotton and basically felt like I was wearing pajamas all day. Feeling skinny and comfortable = best outfit ever!

Dress: Francesca’s Collections,  Shoulders Above Dress (a birthday gift from my honey. I love these cute sleeves!)

Leggings: F21

Scarf: F21 (I cleaned out our closet last weekend and found this awesome scarf wedged in the bottom under a pair of boots. SCORE! I totally forgot I had it)

Belt: Vintage

Wedges: Urban Outfitters

Tuesday

I’ve been having a lot of hip and back pain due to Arlo’s position in my belly and have been hobbling around the office a bit. Everyone is giving me a hard time for continuing to wear tall wedges despite the fact that I look like I need a hover round scooter. But my hips and back hurt  just the same when I’m barefoot or in flats - so whatever, I’m wearing my favorite shoes!

Top: c/o Francesca’s Collections, Behind your back dress

Nude Cami: Target (I am so boobalicious right now, I need a little extra coverage for the office)

Jeans: Gap Skinny Maternity

Shoes: Mia Tudor wedges

Wednesday

I am having hot flashes today! Seriously I have had to resist the urge to hike the skirt  of this dress up between my knees all day. I’m melting!!  My colleagues assure me that the office isn’t hot (a few even said they were a little chilly) so I guess the problem is all mine. I really want to strip down to my underoos right now. Thank goodness I’m working from home tomorrow!
 

Dress: Asos (not maternity) I found it in the sale section and bought it in a size up. I love the versatility of maxi dresses.

Lace Vest: c/o Francesca’s Collections, Dainty Doilie Vest. One of my favorite pieces in my closet right now. I want to put it on over everything and I never fail to get compliments on it.

Belt: Vintage

Shoes: (not pictured) Sseko sandals

I keep thinking about the future of this series once Arlo comes. It’s been fun to do while I’ve been pregnant because of the extra challenge of dressing my bump - but I’m not sure how applicable it will be once I return to work. I think I’d like to hand the torch over to other expecting moms who work in the corporate world. Who’s up for the challenge??  I want to see your own Ladies Room Fashion Show! I challenge you to whip out those phone cameras and start capturing your daily work wear. And don’t forget to send me the link to your blog when you do!!

Love,

M
