From the creator of What I Wore the 1st Trimester comes the next set in the trilogy. Unfortunately, I have been very busy the last three months so unlike the first installment where I had my fancy camera and set up a little session just to feature each outfit, I have nothing like that this time.
I do have some shots of my baby bump along the way though and I thought it would be fun to look at some of my outfits from the summer. So here it is. What I Wore the 2nd Trimester.
I had the opportunity to dress up and go to the Aronoff theater and I didn’t get any decent photos other than these super grainy ones from the phone camera. It’s shame too, because who knows when I’ll do something like that again.
I was 15 weeks here so not quite showing, but I definitely could not fit into any of my usual formal dresses so I headed off to Goodwill and was pleased to find the deal for the day was buy two dress for $6. I got this dress and the one I will share next.
Cute from the back too, although not that comfortable to sit in through a whole production. Ahhh, the things we do for fashion.
Here I am outlining my 19 week bump, just before finding out we were having a girl.
This is supposed to be a dress, but no way I am ever going to wear it without pants, however I might wear it without being pregnant because it isn’t actually maternity it’s just stretchy.
Moving forward to 24 weeks.
Shirt/ Kohl’s- this is also not maternity, but it’s billowy enough to work if I hoist the belted area up.
Pants/ Gap Maternity.
If you subscribe to the Messy Mom newsletter then you have probably seen this photo.
I was 25 weeks here (I am 30 now!).
Dress/ thrift store
Shoes/ Given to me from a friend whose feet didn’t get along with the lack of support (they are tricky to walk in)
Necklace/ Charming Charlie and since that day I have never worn that necklace with that dress again. After seeing the photos I didn’t like the combo at all.
That’s about it. It’s fun to highlight some of my favorites, but most of my 2nd trimester summer days were spent in a tshirt, shorts, and flip flops.
Shirt/Motherhood (I snagged it second hand from Once Upon a Child)
Shorts/ Gap maternity.
That’s all I’ve got for now, but I plan on taking an annoying amount of pregnant selfies in a few weeks because I have a really exciting opportunity to work with a maternity clothing company and review some of their stuff. I can’t wait to share more!
I potentially have only two months left before meeting the baby. It’s so hard to believe. I have tons emotions going on right now, but most of them are all goooood.
You are such a beauty Natalie! I absolutely adore your pregnancy style! Time is flying, it feels crazy that you’re already 30 weeks! So glad you’ve shared this journey!
You’re cute no matter what you have on and your “insides” are even cuter!!!! xoxox
Cute outfits 🙂 I always incorporate a lot of non-maternity items into my wardrobe throughout my pregnancies too. And find lots of good deals at Goodwill. Your blue shirt is my favorite!
I love Good Will! I thought about it later and I think that shirt with the birds is from Good Will and the brand is Target. Oops.
Awww! I love the photos and seeing your happy face :). Back in the olden days when I was pregnant, there weren’t many options. I think I purchased one dress, two tops and two pairs of pants. I sewed a bunch of stuff, too. All the cute clothes came out AFTER my I was done being pregnant!
I remember that too. I was in High School when one of my older friends from church was pregnant and she got super innovative by sewing elastic into Old Navy pants and making other maternity items because they didn’t offer anything trendy for pregnant women. Now Old Navy has maternity items. That was only about 15 years ago. Times have changed.
Natalie, you are so cute! Love the growing baby bump! Can’t wait to meet your little girl.
Such cute outfits friend!
Visiting from Girl Mom Series. Just finished reading your story. Beautiful and the example of God’s love for your family is wonderful. I left you another comment on Beth’s page. You look beautifull in these pictures!
Super cute! I don’t know if I ever told you about my pregnancy clothing. With Elizabeth I was working and was blessed to borrow clothes from a coworker’s wife! I didn’t buy a whole lot of items. Then with Cody I was a SAHM and needed different types of clothes. I was able to borrow some cute stuff from a friend (Sharon’s cousin Terry’s wife…not sure if you know who I’m talking about or not), but I also scored at the Hillsboro Motherhood outlet store. I got something like 20 items for $80 or $90. It was great!!
The post is really awesome and I’d like share it on social media.
