Part of my maternity fashion challenge is making sure I maximize my closet full of pre-preggy clothes. Being pregnant is also equivalent to GASTOS. And not just for yourself but most specially for the baby. And when you're a mother, your needs always come in second. Everytime I see cute maternity dresses, I always end up thinking of getting another onesie for the peanut instead of the dress.

So here's another OOTD of mine wearing my old clothes. Funny thing is, I am finding treasures in my closet. Clothes that I haven't worn for some time now (some even years!) but now looked good on me.

This skirt is one of them. A hidden treasure. I got this during my early college days (most probably late high school days). I remember Mila got this one for me and a black one for sissy. I would wear this once in a while but because it's white, I always think it made me look wide. Wider hips is a no-no! The horror!

But now I got to wear them. And I don't know why but it looked oh so good with this striped sweater of mine. I know that horizontal stripes usually makes one look wider but this one really didn't! I actually felt sexier in them. Hmmmm... I think I'm liking this.

Sorry for the blurred photos and the awkward smile on the first photo! The companion is teasing me again as he took those shots. Ewan ko sa kumag na yun! Trip na trip akong pinipikon!!! Eh love na love ko pa naman ang backdrop ko! I love Ayala Triangle at night talaga. And I can't wait for the light and sound show this Christmas! Waaaahhh... This is my first Christmas with the little peanut, and eventhough dance lang sa tummy ang alam nyang gawin, I'm still oh so excited! Yay!

Have a great weekend guys!! Finally, 2 days worth of rest.

I’ve had this dress since forever. And this is one of my most unforgiving dress…

I can only wear it during my non-chubby days because believe me, it hugs at all the wrongs places!! I remembered that the only time I was able to wear it with confidence is here. And that’s even because I put a cute vest over it to hide all the unwanted flabs.

So imagine my utter happiness when one day, in my desperate attempt to find a decent piece of clothing on my closet, I found this love!

It fits!! And fits perfectly!! The front details are love because its perfect for my baby bump. It hugs my baby bump so well and I look oh so sexy, agree? I just wore a bandeau underneath it because my boobies are getting huge these days. Too much sexy-ness in one outfit so I must tone it down.

Eventhough I call this dress my official Kim K preggy dress, I still believe that I cannot go as bold as Kim K! Hot pink and body con is more than enough for this pregnant woman thank you very much.

I am super inlove with this dress now. Never really thought that it could pass as maternity! But look at me wearing my most unforgiving dress on one of my chubbiest days. Be warned though, you’ll see me wearing this more often from now on.

Finally! A maternity #OOTD for y’all.

To those of you who’s been asking me to post my maternity #OOTD, here it is. Sorry if it took me a couple of months to actually have the courage to do a fashion blog post. You see, I don’t really feel pretty during my first trimester. Honestly, most of the time I feel awful. I just make it a point to dress up and fix my face everyday because I have friends nastier than me. Eh ano kung buntis ako at pwedeng maiyak ako sa comment nila? Basta sasabihin nila sa akin that I look freakin’ awful and haggard! Ganyan ang true friends. Sarap ilaglag sa drain.

Anyway, this is what I wore yesterday for my EMR (emergency) OB visit. Nothing really alarming, it’s just that my allergic rhinitis was bugging me already. The runny nose and clogged nose is something I am used to, but the dry, itchy eyes? Not so much. I was supposed to see my ENT but was advised to visit my OB first.

So that’s why I’m sporting my Ray-bans inside the mall. Too much light is making my  eyes more itchy and dry. And that’s why I have a bare face here. Maitatago naman ng shades, why bother?

On to my outfit, I’m wearing my sister’s top here paired with my old shorts – unbuttoned and secured with my maternity belt. Finished off my entire look with my preggy sandals. This silver sandals I got from Payless is love. Wasn’t ale to blog about it though. I got it for my friend’s beach wedding and has been my default sandals. It’s rubber soles are perfect for me as it gives so much grip that I really need nowadays.

I love my roomy top and I love the length. It’s perfect to hide the maternity belt and gives enough coverage for my baby bump. The top also has a ribbon at the back which gave me waist definition.

And oh! My CLN bag to carry all my preggy necessities like my Mommy Book, bottled water, extra undies, tissues, alcohol. Whew!

I love being pregnant. And I am now starting to enjoy dressing up because finally, I have a baby bump to show everyone! Haven’t gained much weight if you notice (and the scales are telling me the same thing) except for the obvious bigger tummy so I’m proud to say that I haven’t bought a single maternity piece. Most of the things I’m wearing are actually my pre-pregnancy clothes. It’s just a matter of mixing and matching.

Let me leave you with my paparazzi shot which the sissy took. Sino mag-aakalang batang buntis ako?? Sino??! Hihihihihi…
