Because my bump is the size of a small house (LOL) my clothes no longer fit! This is the joy of been 6mths pregnant I guess (along with having NO social life of course! Although I had a fun filled time at my friends Ann Summers party the other day and a lovely family time at bowling yesterday with Ash, his little sis and our niece) Soooo I have put on over a stone in weight I will say it must all be belly as everything else on me seems to have remained the same, from the back I don't even look pregnant but from the front boy am I carrying big! Here is my 6mths pregnant bump n all it's glory -
I love my baby so therefore I love this bump! I refuse to dress in big frumpy baggy things to hide it, i also refuse to pay ridiculous prices for maternity wear that I will not be wearing again after this pregnancy for a long while! So as I have only put weight on where my bump is im quite lucky as it means that alot of bottoms I can fit into still and I also have started LIVING in leggings.....well actually I always have but now they're so comfy too, so all I am doing is that for the bottom half, for the top half I have got some new tops, my criteria is stretchy and still 'me' everything I wear now I would have worn before pregnancy and will wear after, I know most will stretch and lose their shape so I have bought quite a few basic bits from cheap places like primark, anyway here's the pics of the haul -
cream knit jumper dress from a small shop in manchester forgot the name also have the exact one in black ash bought me both these |
cream lace and bead detail vest from primark |
red crochet back vest from primark |
gold jumper from new look |
LOVE jumper - ash bought me |
sequin tiger jumper - ash bought me too |
striped and lace long top, from everything5pounds.com (BARGAIN!) |
striped sheer top primark I LOVE these sooooo loose and comfy |
Same as the striped one above just a really bright pink |
Jewel neck top, i bought this (actually sorry my mum bought it for me!) for when i have somewhere more formal and special to go as the jewel detailing is very glam and it skims over my bump nicely |
I think when I get bigger I might need some more clothes but for now these and the stuff I already had are doing fine, it's weird as I really don't want to buy anything for me now im pregnant I just want to spend all my money on baby things, I am actually having to force myself to buy some foundation tomorrow as all the ones I currently have I hate, even tried a new max factor one on sunday and nearly cried i hated it that much.....i'll do a post on that actually! So now im vowing I will only wear Rimmel lasting finish 25hr or the old 16hr one, my face really does not agree with anything but that and it's been my fave for years I don't know why I stray from it, gosh what has happened to the beauty and make up addict in me! My make up look has become so boring too, to be honest the whole moving house and trying to get everything ready for baby is quite stressful so I have just been wearing minimal/plain make up unless I have gone out somewhere, I will start getting some make up looks back up on here though but everything is all a mess at the moment until I move and unpack it all, BUT coming up this week I DO have: 2 perfume reviews, face mask reviews, and my top nail polishes I am using right now for winter so look out for those also check out my most recent updates and follow my pregnancy blog if you haven't already www.victoriaspregnancydiary.blogspot.com
