Trying Out ThredUp

Top: LOFT via ThredUp
Cardigan: Tilly's Essential Elbow Sleeve Cardigan
Jeans: H&M MAMA Skinny Jeans
Shoes: JustFab Tory

I decided to actually get dressed today instead of my usual yoga pants and v-neck because I tried a new website and couldn't wait to wear my purchases. My friend convinced me (it didn't take a lot) to try the site ThredUp, and I was immediately hooked. It's an online consignment store. People send in their gently used or new clothes and get a cut of the profit. Customers get to purchase those gently used clothes at a fraction of the price. I just ordered my first bag to send them a bunch of my used clothes. I plan on getting the money in store credit so I can continue the cycle of good deals.

You all know my love for all things LOFT so I was excited to find this super summery blouse for $10. I love the flowiness of it because it hides the tummy, and the colors were so pretty. Plus, I'm a sucker for all things floral. I added the cardigan because while flowy is good at disguising, it can make you seem wider if you don't wear something to bring in your waist. A belt would've worked too, but I'm still at the point where adding a belt can make me look like I'm still pregnant.

The wedges were part of JustFab's wedge sale, so I picked them up for $15. I was unsure if the yellow with the coral was going to be too much color, but I liked the way it turned out.

If you're interested in trying JustFab, use my link here and get your first pair for $20. They are also doing a site wide BOGO right now so it's worth a look-see. Standard warning applies that it is a shoe club membership so be sure to read the terms and conditions.

Everyday Maternity Style - Plaid and Sneakers

 

Shirt: H&M Maternity
Jeans: Old Navy Maternity Full Panel Skinny Jeans
Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Orchid
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylors in Carnival PinkEarrings: OneLittleBelt Etsy Shop

Surprise! It's not Sunday, and here's a post. Since I actually decided to put on real clothes today, I figured I'd do a post for what I wear as my casual style (but not my super casual style of yoga pants and t-shirts). It really is getting harder and harder to get dressed every day.  Even a lot of my maternity clothes are no longer fitting over my belly. The thing is huge, for serious. But I've found that disguising it with patterns works pretty well to minimize its size. However, I've also found that shirts that are too busy tend to make me look wider. A cardigan easily tones that down and gives me back some shape. Seriously, what would I do without my cardigans?

Other than that, the outfit is pretty self-explanatory. I cuffed the jeans to make them feel more springy and paired them with bright sneakers for more color pop. Overall, the outfit is pretty colorful but it goes back to trying to force myself into a good mood. I think it worked.

The last thing I want to tell you about is these amazing earrings. One of my favorite fashion blogs is "One Little Momma" and she has an etsy shop called "One Little Belt" where she sells handmade kids' belts and leather jewelry. These earrings are so incredibly lightweight. They look like metal, but since they are leather, they weigh close to nothing.  I almost forget I'm wearing them. So if you're looking for something fun to accesorize with, I would highly recommend a couple pairs of these. They come in fun colors and you can get them in a 2" drop (like these) or if you're bolder, a 3" drop.

I hope your week is going well so far. Happy Shopping!
