Who is ready for fall?  I have been drinking myself into pumpkin spice oblivion trying to will fall in a little sooner.  I’m usually the type of girl that holds onto every last inch of summer, but I think being pregnant has turned me into a bit of a fall-addict.  Bring on the cooler weather, I say! I am also fresh out of ideas on how to dress this bump in summer clothes without sweating to death.  I can only wear maxi skirts and slouchy tops so many days in a row before I feel like I’ve over done it,  ya know what I’m saying?  I’m looking forward to layering pieces without sweating my ever loving hiney off.  Boots! Scarves! Blazers!  I can feel them calling me already.

I’m being careful as to planning out my wardrobe for this next season.  I’m hoping to utilize as much as I have, and be smart about the belly-friendly pieces I choose to invest in.  I know blazers, scarves and over sized sweaters will be my bff’s this fall/winter, which I will also be able to wear when I’m not pregnant.  Aside from a few maternity staples like a good pair of jeans, some maternity leggings and maybe a couple layering tops, I’m hoping to get by with as much non-maternity items as possible.  I think pregnancy can be a huge excuse for spending a bunch of money on a new wardrobe, but let’s remember we’ll only be fitting into those clothes for about 5-6 months at best.  I try to buy the bare minimum of actual maternity clothes, and focus on pulling outfits together with things that aren’t maternity that will last you years.

I’ve put together a wish list of my fall/winter maternity wardrobe… none of the items are actually maternity items so this could be a good list even if you’re not expecting.  I love when things can swing both ways!
