OOTD w/ J.Crew Potpourri Scarf

We met some friends out for dinner Friday night and I actually had some time and the energy to put an outfit together (which is rare).  I've been wearing only dresses lately due to heat and the fact that ANYTHING around my waist is extremely uncomfortable right now, but I got some new size Large leggings from Forever21 that are super comfy, so I decided to give them a shot!

Grey Short Sleeve Cashmere Blend Cardigan: Ann Taylor

Black Knit Cropped Leggings: Forever 21

Long White T-Back Tank: Liz Lange for Target

Watercolor Potpourri Scarf: J.Crew

Skinny Black Patent Leather Belt: J.Crew

Cobblestone Bracelet in black: J. Crew

And, yes, we're still cookin'...

New Liz Lange for Target Dresses - Plus 2 OOTD!

Liz Lange for Target Maternity Sleeveless Iconic Floral Dress in Blue - $29.99

I don't really need to by buying any more maternity things at this point, but I saw this at Target last week and HAD to have it!  Mostly because the cut on the top and back is so cute and almost...sexy... for a maternity dress!  Perfect for this hot summer!

Love the colors, shape, everything!  This is an XS .... it's still a bit big on top, but I first tried the Small and it was HUGE on me... even at 9.5 months pregnant!  So it runs big!

Back is so cute and summery!  What's hard to see are the wooden beaded accents on the straps!  It's the same kind of cute touch that is found on much more expensive maternity dresses .... like a $118+ one I have from Maternal America.  So yeah, this dress is cute!

With Gap knit cropped cardigan in off-white

With J.Crew short sleeve cardigan, Banana Republic necklace.

Other great Liz Lange dresses right now...

Maxi Sleeveless Iconic Dress in Orange/Purple - $34.99

You can't beat these dresses for the price!  The look is right-on-trend and they will be prefect to get you through the end of summer and into Fall under a cardigan!

Outfit of the Day: It's Spring Time!

Necklace and Bracelet: Etsy.com

Denim: True Religion Maternity from A Pea in the Pod

Tanks: Liz Lange for Target

Cardigan: J.Crew

Rainboots: Liberty of London for Target

Jacket: Banana Republic

It was raining and gross, so I decided to embrace the "springness" of the weather!  I absolutely love the short sleeved long cardigans from JC last year ... I have the light pink color, too!  The Liz Lange ribbed tanks (which I have in pretty much every color) are a staple in my wardrobe right now!  I actually prefer the A Pea in the Pod ones, which I have 2 of, but the LL for Target ones are good enough considering I will only be wearing them a few more months!

Why do I love the Liberty for Target boots?  A couple of reasons.  One, they have a shorter shaft, which makes them easier (and lighter) to walk in than, say, Hunter boots - which are super-cute, but come up to my knee and weigh a TON!  That's not what I need when I'm already carrying around an extra 20 pounds!  I also love the print, which has a lot of colors that happen to compliment a lot of my spring stuff from last year's JC spring roll out!

My New True Religion Maternity Jeans

What a wonderful thanks-for-having-my-second-grandchild gift from my mother-in-law!  I don't even have regular True Religion jeans, but I am thrilled to have this maternity version!  Clearly, these pics were taken a few weeks ago when I was about 15 weeks.

Cute front pockets at the hip.

Lots of sewn detail on the front...

And, of course on the back... plus their signature button-down flap pockets.

On top, I'm wearing my new Liz Lange for Target ruched side, v-neck long sleeve tee in sea foam green that I purchased a few weeks ago for about $7.50!  I'm super excited about it since I'm obesessed with this color right now!

This is actually a better pic of the back pockets!

I bought my normal size 28 in these.... sometimes I can wear a 27, it just depends.  As usual (even with my regualr jeans) I probably could have gone down a size, but pregnancy is not the time to try squeezing into things for fashion's sake.  I don't have any pics of the rest of the leg (doh!) but I think these pics I do have capture the detail and look of the jeans.  The leg is slim/straight and the "rise" is low, though there is a long and stretchy comfy waistband that should last me at least through 7-8 months.

It's a little difficult to find cute designer maternity jeans, even online.  But, the best websites I've found so far are:

and 

http://www.apeainthepod.com/ (where this pair was purchased)
