comfortably.... cute? f.u. stacy london!

ok so anytime i watch that "what not to wear" show stacy and clinton always rag on people who wear their "gym clothes"  to places other than the gym and they gasp at the word "comfortable".  in their eyes all women should be stomping around town in pointy shoes and cashmere sweaters.... mmmm yeah reality check!  now im all for chic shoes and fashionable clothing, but during this pregnancy ive also found ways to make my "gym clothes" look cute and acceptable outside the gym (that i never go to).  ive spent most of this pregnancy in wide legged yoga pants in various colors (from target), but i found ways to make them fashionable.  during the cooler winter months i paired them with fitted long sleeve knit tops and fitted sweaters, now that its warmed up i wear them with those thin, layerable, fitted tee's, i found some great graffic tees from target that are body hugging and cut to hang longer so they cover the bump well and by layering them you get a cute updated look.  ive also layered fitted tanks from target (solid colors and prints) and because the yoga pants are wide legged and drapey you can wear different types of shoes like ballet flats, gladiator sandals or your favorite flip flops.  by taking a simple yoga pant and pairing it with tops that are fitted and layered and have bold colors or graphic prints, you can make them look more fashionable  while still being comfortable and not spending a million bucks.  plus if you just buy them in sizes that are larger, you can avoid pricey maternity clothes and the material is streachy so they will be comfortable post-pardom as well and you wont be upset that your "still wearing maternity clothes after the baby".  so f.u. stacy london and your pointy shoes, i will continue to rock my "gym clothes" and remain comfortably cute!  stay f!erce mamas!

  1. amen erin! While staying stylish during pregnancy would be nice, being comfortable in a totally re-designed and uncomfy body is nicer! I loved yoga and palazzo pants during pregnancy!
