I have started thinking about Christmas Outfits for myself as I will not be pregnant anymore and can have some fun with my clothes again.
I am looking for a dressier outfit for Christmas Church and a couple festive tops and embellished cardigans for Christmas celebrations with family.
(jcrew) this sweater is so fabulous but is sold out. I am pretty sure I could recreate this though.
(gap) i love the simplicity of this shirt and that it is more than a t-shirt. It would look great under the above cardigan.
(anthropolgie) i am absolutely in love with this dress. But the fact that I will be breast feeding makes me want to steer clear of dresses, along with the fact that I will probably not have my pre-pregnancy body back yet. :)
(anthropologie) this shirt looks so comfy and like it would be forgiving of post baby curves.
(kaboodle) a version of this is what I am thinking of wearing to church instead of a dress. Paired with a simple blouse and embellished cardigan. I may have to make a skirt, but I think it would be pretty easy if I just use a circle skirt method.
(bananarepublic) I also really love this cardigan excluding the little rosettes at the neckline and think it would be easy to make as well.
Who knows if I will have time or even care about my outfits once the little guy gets here. But it’s my goal to not turn into a mom who stays in sweats all day for my sanity and my husbands sake. Plus Christmas is my favorite time of year and I love to dress up a little sparkly around the Holiday.
Thanks for stopping by and indulging my clothing dreams!
these are gorgeous!!!! i know i will not have enough of my body back once the baby comes….i am a little larger than i care to be. but anyway….that top from anthro looks gorgeous, forgiving and like you could nurse in it too!!!
getting dressed has become more of a big deal now that i am pregnant, although there are some days i just don't….until i see my husband pull up to the garage and then i make a mad dash to change and then pretend like i have been dresses all day long. oh man! that was yesterday. i wear more makeup now too….perhaps getting dressed and makeup are just a few of the things that can be controlled when you are pregnant since the belly seems to have a mind of its own.
ooh, I love all your picks!! Gosh, there's no shortage of pretty clothe sin the world, is there?!
And you'll have your pre-pregnancy body back eventually! Although I'm told it's a fair bit of work…. I hope to find out myself one day.
I'll take one of each. Especially the cream dress. love it.
oh so many good choices! LOVE the lace anthropologie dress beautiful and classic but that long check skirt is awesome, i LOVE it!! making one sounds like fun! i had a christmas dress i was going to make but things have gotten so crazy in the past month i don't have time :(
xo,
