What I Wore | Grayscale

WhatIWore: Guys. I’m on my 25th try at writing something for this post and just giving up at this point. My heart is not really into it now, but we’ve all gotta get up and out of bed and get dressed, right? So I’m going to talk about my outfit, which I actually really like, instead of addressing the current state of our union, which is more like an episode of Black Mirror than I ever imagined possible. I won’t ignore that things are really screwed up right now, but I’m working on my stress levels for my health and that of my daughter. Phew! 

Ok! Let’s start with something easy - the weather! Thank goodness for clear blue skies and crisp mornings! It’s actually starting to feel like it’s the right time to bring out the warmer winter gear and I love that! I was at Old Navy yesterday for a separate project when I saw this hat and jacket (both 50% off in store) and turtleneck, which is long enough to easily cover my belly (and under $20). I’ve been pinning a lot similar outfits lately, and it all came together quite easily this morning. I think one of the things that has made me more confident in wearing maternity clothes has been wearing trend forward accessories, jackets and non maternity tops when they work. In short - I just feel like myself. Way more than I did with my first pregnancy. I don’t feel dumpy like I did last time (and truthfully, fall is much more fun to get dressed than the height of summer heat!)
