What I wore Wednesday – two maternity outfits for price of one!

I’m not actually going to tell you what I wore on Wednesday. Instead, I’m going to talk about last Thursday and Friday, when I went down to High Wycombe (over to High Wycombe?) for a blogger event. Because of the length of the journey and my advance pregnancy (eek!) I travelled down the afternoon before, meaning I could go out for a meal with a couple of blogging friends on Thursday evening, before the main event on Friday. This therefore called for not one but two semi decent pregnancy outfits, quite a challenge for my poor strained wardrobe.

For the Thursday evening I chose Blossom maternity jeans (supplied free for review) teamed with a slightly dressy nursing top from Mama Feels Good that works very well as maternity garb.

(You’re going to have to cope without pictures of me I’m afraid, I completely forgot to take any!) The jeans I have are grey and ever so soft, and a cut above the usual maternity jeans I’ve got. They make me feel dressed up and smart, though I do confess that at this stage of pregnancy they are beginning to struggle to stay in place if I do anything like walking any distance. By over 7 months though, it probably is time to be thinking of over the bump bands. I like them enough that I soldier on through this – or just wear them when I’m not going to be all that active 😉

On Friday I pushed the boat out and wore a dress! Again, it’s a dual purpose maternity/ nursing dress, this time from Jojomamanbebe Mine is a burgundy, which doesn’t seem to be listed on the site, unless it’s actually grape. I bought it for the ThreeUK mum blogger event last year and it’s stood me in good stead, travels well, and I’ll get more wear out of it later this year when I’m nursing again.

So there you go, two days in a row when I got all dressed up. Enjoy – it doesn’t happen very often!

  1. Smallest saying “Mummy’s jeans are falling down” while I carried her was adorable!
    I can vouch for the dress–it was stunning on you! Thanks for linking up 🙂

    1. I can’t believe we didn’t take any photos! We missed a group blogger opportunity there – very poor of us. Next time, right?
