15 Weeks Maternity OOTD + FOTD : Blue Plaid High Wasted Skirt

I woke up this morning browsing Pinterest and my old OOTD videos on YouTube for some maternity outfit inspiration when I remembered this skirt that I hadn't worn in a long time. I said to myself, "it used to be a tad bit big on me, perhaps it will still fit".

Well, it fits, but this is the last time I'll be able to wear it til after Calvin arrives. Haha. It's a bit tight, but it worked today!

It gives a cute emphasis to my bump which I like, plus the plaid pattern is so great for autumn and winter. The nice blue and white stripes make it even more winter appropriate, if you ask me. 

Yuna, our 8 month old kitty, loves to sit on the new rug we got, so she had to be in the shots today. 

Outfit of the Day

Skirt - J Crew (Goodwill) 

Shirt - Old Navy

Leggings - Gordmans

14 Weeks Pregnant Maternity OOTD 2nd Trimester Fall/Winter

I am finding it harder and harder to dress my little baby bump. I'm unsure whether I should still be trying to hide it or if it's okay to just show it off! So I thought I'd help the other ladies out there with little bumps by posting some of my outfits. Hopefully I can keep up on this little series on the blog and maybe even expand onto my YouTube vlog channel. So here we go with the first installment. I'm 14 weeks, 1 day here and this is my first pregnancy. 

Today is also our gender reveal party! And I'm super excited for all of our close family to know the sex of our baby! I can't wait to see who guessed correctly! :)

Outfit Details:

Cardigan - Target (a couple years old, but I think they still have similar ones now)

Striped Shirt - Old Navy (just picked it up this year)

Black Maxi Skirt - Target (maybe 1-2 years old, but it's pretty basic)

Belt - Ebay (I've picked up a handful of little belts for just a couple bucks on Ebay lately)

I'm not wearing any shoes here, but I just put on some little black booties since it's a chilly day out today where I am in St. Louis MO.

I really hope this was helpful and perhaps it inspires somebody else out there who is struggling with this fat or pregnant phase!

Thanks for reading!

Love,

Alaina and Tiny Baby!
