Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I drove a long way today to visit a maternity superstore. Fortunately it paid off - I actually got some really great skinny maternity jeans! They were not cheap but they look fantastic and made me feel less of a whale. Big tick!




Not only that I but I scored some lovely skirts for work - even a linen one, yes some people do make maternity clothes in decent fabrics! I had to settle on the black pants though - not sure why its too much to ask for tailored pants, instead they are all loose leg which pool around the knee and sag under the crutch! (and I tried on ALOT of different pairs and brands!). Never mind, am feeling set now. Had to laugh at the sizing though - for some reason size 8's and smalls swim on me in maternity clothes, am guessing they are doing that flattery sizing thing to make you feel better about putting on weight...

We then hit DFO and low and behold one of my favourite stores, Forever New was having a 30% of all sale items (which at DFO is 80% of the store). Oh it was worth the 10min line up in the change rooms and the looong line up to pay. Get in there if you are a fan! Unfortunately my big old belly just wasn't very forgiving on most of their devine silk and beaded tops that I adore but I did treat myself to some long line singlets (for $3) and some great skinny sequined scarfs for autumn - perfect as neck accessories to distract from distinct egg shape or I also love them worn as high belts above said bump to give shape to tent-like maternity tops.

Hubby also got spoiled with some fancy polos and new shoes so it was a good shopping day all round.

And now I have comfy NICE clothes for work next week, happy days. Just need it to get cooler so I can get some wear out of my lovely new jeans!
