My themed shirts

You would think that a grump like me wouldn't be into kitschy themed shirts but, boy, would you be wrong. There are ways you can be clever about it. If you do it right you can be stylish whilst indulging yourself in cheese. I have three themed shirts that were all lovely gifts. My mother bought me this darling Christmas themed shirt from +Zazzle that I mentioned last week:



The shoes were a homage to Christmas parties past. I really just wore them for the picture and promptly switched to some flats. Look how unstable I was:
lol. 
 And a sigh of relief:

 The other two themed shirts were gifts that my friends made. I have some creative amigos. My BFF made me this with just a maternity shirt from +Target and a sharpie.



This shirt was made by taking a vintage iron on and applying it to a maternity shirt from +ASOS. Apparently she had to iron it for about a million years but it was so worth it.

I don't mean to brag but my friends clearly rock pretty hard.

Just a tip: if you want to try making something like this for one of your friends then whatever size she is in regular clothes, that is the size she will wear in maternity clothes.


5 dresses to write home about

These dresses are good. Like, really good, and they're maternity!! I love the creative design; perfect for a holiday party. Rock a Bye Rosie has a divine collection of on trend maternity dresses, and a lot of them are on sale right now.

ModCloth Sale!

So you know how I said that +ModCloth  is an excellent place to buy gifts, especially when you have no idea what to get a person. You get them something they don't even know they wanted until you give it to them. Like a blow up dinosaur.

They have an offer right now: Spend $125+ & get $25 back to spend on yourself in January! You can do like I said where you buy presents for everyone on your list and then treat yourself to some of their more maternity friendly clothes. Like I said. Sometime I get it right. It ends tomorrow so hurry up y'all!

Belly back brace

I purchased this brace from Destination Maternity when I was on my honeymoon road trip. It's really come in handy these past few weeks as my back starts to hurt even when I stand for a short period of time, like when I do the washing up.


Everything is so much harder now. My hips and back ache after what I would have previously considered a short walk. I highly recommend getting a brace, even though I didn't think I needed one before I got it. Really, life's so much better with it.

If you want to get the one I have, you can purchase it here:
