A photo journal comprised of my thoughts on motherhood and other life happenings, as well as some of professional work as a photographer. Southern California is home.
When I first saw the current collection from More of Me Maternity, I’ll be honest, I wanted to stay pregnant forever. I’ve never seen such a flattering and stylized collection of maternity clothes. I boycotted maternity clothes completely with my first pregnancy, with the exception of a dress I had to purchase for a wedding I attended when I was 36 weeks. And I hated it. This time around, I’ve made due with many of the clothes I already had in my closet but did manage to add a pair of maternity jeans. But let me tell you… If I were rolling in dough… Let me stop there, because there is no dough floating around these parts to be rolled in. But, I will say that I have done some digging and have found two affordable alternatives to one of the MoMM maternity dresses I had been swooning over. The best part, aside from the price tag, is that they aren’t even maternity dresses… Meaning when the bump is gone, these fellas can still hang delightfully in my closet. Not bad, right?
The jumper from the Hatch Collection is by far my favorite. It can be worn post-baby as well with a waistline belt. Either way, I can’t fathom spending that kinda dough. I’m also smitten with more than one dress from the More of Me Maternity collection. They have me wanting to be pregnant permanently, so you know they must be cute. But, alas, reality hits and I stumble back to my closet to make what I already own work for these last two months.
