Well, I certainly learned my lesson this week. I had all but packed my pencil skirt collection away for my post-pregnancy wardrobe but decided to give it one last try. My belly isn’t that big yet anyways, right?! Ha. Well, even with my skirt partially unzipped and my Bella Band secure, I could not have been more uncomfortable. Between the skirt digging into my waistline and the slight stretching of my chambray, I felt completely sausaged into a too-small outfit. Sigh. You win some and lose some right? (I guess losing some in this case will be my entire skirt collection… and perhaps this top as a fully-buttoned shirt.)
Skirt: J.Crew (maternity option), Top: J.Crew (maternity option), Shoes: J.Crew (similar), Belt: J.Crew (similar), Necklace: Stella & Dot Spring Awakening, Bracelet: Stella & Dot Eden Bangle

Such a shame that you didn’t feel comfortable! It’s definitely important to find comfy clothes for pregnancy 🙂 I like the neon brights with the necklace and belt against the chambray shirt 🙂
Love this simple look – how darling is that necklace!

That must be so frustrating! But you still look amazing 😀
I love that pretty necklace! Sorry you didn’t feel comfortable in the skirt…that is the worst feeling when you just can’t wait to get home and change into something else!

This is adorable! And I may actually try mine this way with the belted shirt rather than tucked in! Sorry to hear your felt uncomfy…you sure don’t look it her! You look glowing!
Ya still look great though. Love the look and it has nothing to do with the fact that originally I intended to wear Chambray and a pencil skirt today LOL.
You look incredible and you will be able to wear your pencil skirt collection again soon enough.

Love the chambray belted like that and your necklace is so pretty! I definitely miss all of my old clothes, but the good thing is after the baby is born, it’s like your closet is completely new to you again, haha! 🙂

Well you still look cute even though you were uncomfortable. I love the yellow belt.

Ah-dorable! I love that necklace too! I felt like I was HUGE even at 2 months but it was just such an adjustment and I was so bloated (TMI?). It is so fun once the real bump comes-I felt a little awkward until it happened. 🙂 You are pulling it off so well!
You do still look great regardless! 🙂
Well, you still look lovely! I really like the idea of a colored belt and fun necklace with a chambray top.
You look so cute – and I love the pops of neon, but I agree: there is very little that is worse than that squeezed-in feeling all day…
You don’t look uncomfortable at all! I love the outfit, especially the belt!
If it makes you feel any better, this outfit LOOKS awesome! I love the neon belt paired with the dark chambray! You look amazing!
