Its the moment when even the stretchy fat jeans that did still fit you - stop fitting. And mixed with hormones, this day is horrible. No comforting words can help and even the normal retail therapy doesn't work because NOTHING IN THE STORES FIT. I try and remind myself that I'm going a small person in there but also vainly wonder if my widening hips will ever go back and fit into a size 25 jean?
With my last pregnancy my husband and I were just starting out and too broke to even be having a kid let alone spending $100's of dollars on maternity clothes. I bought enough to get me through the pregnancy but I never felt good about myself and constantly felt frumpy.

This pregnancy, being a lot more prepared and stable (both mentally & financially), I informed my husband I was going to look cute and actually spend some money on maternity clothes that made me feel good about myself. I was NOT willing to let my love for fashion be swept under the rug this time.
Still refusing to spend $100's on clothes that lets be honest I will never (EVER - did you hear that hun?) wear again, I started looking in my favorite thrift and consignment shops, and then moved on to my favorite websites where I found ASOS.com and TOPSHOP also sell maternity clothes! Excited I put in my order and found some great finds at some local stores and started my beginnings of my maternity wardrobe.

This is an older picture from 14 weeks, but I adore these awesome leggings from ASOS.com and wear them a lot! I'm going to do my best to document some of my favorite outfits on blog about once a week. Let me know what you think and where you get your awesome maternity finds!
