Maternity shoot

We had a maternity photo session with my sister-in-law this weekend. It was really hot and humid outside! It started out rainy in the day, then mr. sun decided to come out and play. I love the pictures, despite how huge I look. 

Horizontal Stripes, Yay or Nay?

I do not own any piece of clothing in my closet with horizontal stripes on it (until now) because I've always felt that horizontal stripes make me look fatter/wider. Am I wrong?

With the pregnancy, I feel like a HIPPO.. and I wanted to find a long comfortable maxi dress. I didn't really find anything until the end of the day, I came across this dress by Michael Kors, (I love Michael Kors). I went into the fitting room, tried it on and loved it. It fit perfectly and the fabric was thin so it was really comfortable. I bought it.

So today...

I decided to wear it. Looked at myself in the mirror and I'm not as pleased. I don't know if it's the stripes or the colors, or if I'm looking at it too long but I'm starting to look like an inmate LOL. I tried to imagine myself wearing it not pregnant, and not sure if it looks any better.

The original price for the dress was $99.50. I bought it for $39.99.

I would of loved this dress much more if it was a solid color.

So, stripes... Yay or Nay?

Excuse my dirty mirror :P

Update on baby movements

It has been so long since I've posted an entry! 

Here is a baby update. Baby is healthy, and I've gained a TON of weight! I've been using Nuby's Belly Butter for stretch marks. But around 25 weeks or so, I noticed two tiny stretch marks appear next to my belly button. Must not be working, lol so I did a little research and found great reviews on Bio Oil so I purchased a bottle. Hopefully I see improvements.. not happy with what I'm seeing in the mirror :/

The comfort of Maternity Pants

I just invested in a pair of maternity pants; my first pair! My belly is getting bigger so my regular pants are snug. Heck I've been trotting around in sweats and leggings. 
I had no idea that they actually looked like this.. and not really sure how it's properly worn. Do you fold the spandex part down or unfold it over your belly? I'm sure I would find the answer online if I just did a quick search but... I simply just don't want to. I just want to sit here and blog about it, maybe someone will respond with an answer below. There may not even be a 'correct' way to wear them. However way it's worn, no one will see! The spandex part of the pant is underneath the shirt. They are super comfortable, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and regular pants. At this time, the only difference is comfort :)
