so excited ... purchases have arrived and I **think** they look pretty okay!

[LetThemEatCake]

so as per previous threads, am avoiding "maternity" clothes if at all possible... so as a casual yet 'nice' outfit have bought this. I think it all works pretty well, but please tell me if my preg hormones have destroyed my taste!

this top

these jeans

and these shoes

I know it's all a bit extravagant - well. the top is - but I skimped so much in my first pg with the attitude "well it's only for a few months, what's the point' - and then felt miserable and frumpy the whole way through. This is likely my last pregnancy so I want to thoroughly enjoy it (and have just sold loads of stuff on ebay to raise the funds....)

so do you like?

gosh samsonara, I didn't mean to imply that I'd be wearing stuff like this while in the house or at soft play. They're for nice lunches (I work freelance so sometimes have to meet up with clients) and casual dinners, that kind of thing. And was joking about the buggy/ walking frame thing. Truth be told, I have no probs walking in high heels, even when pregnant. I put it down to the fact that I grew up with the circus and was the daughter of 2 stilt-walkers.

But you will have to tell me more about life with 3 aged 3 and under - I am excited but totally prepared for the fact that it will be mayhem!!!

I love them all
Shoes look quite comfy to me.Quite a nice platform.
I had no problems with balance when I was pregnant.

All gorgeous, I bought quite expensive maternity clothes both times around and my friends thought I was mad but it really helped me feel good even towarda the end when I was huge with swollen ankles. None of my friends are complaining now that I'm passing my mat clothes on to them though!

You're going to look fab, enjoy your pregnancy.

thanks ggirl and bellebelle x

Love the shoes. Like the jeans. Hate the top, too granny chic for me and at £211 feels like emperors new clothes

Oh I love it. Especially the top.

You will be one stylish lady.

Love love love the top. Only concern is that as it is not a maternity top will it look ok with a big bump? Even if a smock top has ample fabric to cover the bump at the front sometimes it will 'lift' a bit at the front and not at the back, so is longer at the back IYSWIM? I found that anyway, although I had a mahoooosive bump that jutted out in front of me like a cliff!

Wizzska's right though you will look quite the stylish mama.

Have you tried Topshop for cool maternity stuff? I got two dresses that I practically lived in. Think asos have a maternity range now, too.
