mama style... [preggo & posing]

Don't worry friends.. I haven't made a new year's resolution to post more 'outfit shots'!

I did however date my husband yesterday - and decided to get out of the yoga pants/hoodie combo:

 I've decided that maternity clothing is really a 'fashion line' created from some senile granny who loves clown clothes... so I have forsaken it altogether.. and am forcing my wardrobe to work in my eight month here.

(Key elements: vests.cardigans.dress-shirts.leggings.stretchy skirts!)

I was stoked to get these cream cable-knit leggings for Christmas (thanks Mom!).  A perfect combo with my suede boots... and stretchy enough for baby bulge.

If you looked in my closet... it's like the palette from a boot camp (everything is army greens/olives/browns/blacks...) so sometimes I try to force myself to try a new colour - hence a yummy plum vest (and normally I do despise purple).

Heck, I even tied on a skinny belt... though it's loose enough to not throttle the wee guy.

So yah, I'm loving this palette lately: plum, olive, russet browns, creams.... mmmMMMm!

Mama wears:

earrings: gifted from sister

wooden beads necklace: thrifted

plum vest: Reitmans

Olive dress: H&M

Skinny belt: Reitmans

Brown waffle shirt: Old Navy

Cream Leggings: H&M

Suede boots: Zellers

Rest assured, I did still get myself a huge white cable knit sweater for cold winter days... so I do still resemble a Sasquatch some days.

Preggo. poser. mama,

Mel ;o)
