Transitional Pieces

2012 May 16

(Tunic – Swellegant Vintage, Dress – Thrifted, Shoes – Sam Edelman)

Since I’ve been out and about again, I’ve been on the hunt for vintage pieces to add to my maternity wardrobe. Pieces that will work now.. and later.

While out searching I found this silky tunic! I fell in love with the sleeves, and the side slits will make it easy to wear from small bump to big bump.

    I really like the deep slits. As it’s functional for your ever growing belly, it looks cool to see the skirt pattern all the way up the side of the body. This pink shade looks great on you.

    You look great! I know. Now you think, I want to wear this now, but I could do “x” to it later (when I’m not pregnant). It’s all an adjustment, but you’re doing great.

    And don’t worry (back to your whole truth post) you don’t have to LOVE every part of being pregnant or even after baby. My dr. told me a great piece of advice, “it’s just like any job, you don’t LOVE every part of your job & you may not LOVE every part of having a child (applies to pregnancy too)”. I think we beat ourselves up over a lot of things that we shouldn’t.

    Anyway, you look wonderful!

    Love the outfit, and as I am in my 6-7 month of pregnancy, I am eager to see how you dress your changing shape. I really appreciate the post you made a few days ago about not loving the pregnancy process so far. I have to say, I am right there with you, and am endlessly frustrated with having to buy maternity clothes that will only be worn for 3 months (tops!). I hope you feature pieces you find (as you’ve done today) that can transition through pregnancy and even be worn after (albeit probably with a belt or some sort of waist-definition). I’ve found that having children (this will be my second) has changed what I buy post-baby, too. No more silky fabrics or dry-clean only garments. Nursing friendly tops (forget wearing a shift dress of any kind!) and separates for dressy occasions. As my son is 2, now I have to wear clothes I can play and climb in and get dirty. Again–excited to see how you deal with all of this and any advice or features on these aspects of motherhood (pregnancy and beyond) would be really helpful and inspiring!
