You don't have to miss out on the best season for fashion--FALL!

Fall is my FAVORITE season for fashion. This year, being currently nine-and-a-half months pregnant, I am going to basically miss out on an entire fall fashion season. Right now I am so big I cannot even get my feet into real shoes, let alone think about putting my favorite boots on over jeans, leggings, or a pair of jeggings. I am HOPING that once the baby is here, I will be able to catch the tail end of the fall season. By then, everything will be on sale, right?

I was shocked today as I walked through Old Navy today at the MANY great options that I can purchase once the baby comes, to help me through the transition of pregnancy back to normalcy. I was shocked by how cute these sweaters were---and currently they are on sale for $20! I felt compelled to pass them along as many of them can also be worn during pregnancy---and they had a couple cute ones in maternity as well!

Woman's Button Front Cable Knit Cape

This sweater is perfect for after I have the baby. It comes in four colors and would be great with either leggings or jeans. It's big enough to hide any leftover baby weight, but cute enough that it won't look frumpy.

Women's Swing Coat Sweaters

I loved this sweater because again, great for jeans or leggings, this is one that you can wear while pregnant and just open up the buttons---and then enjoy it after once you have the baby. It also comes in four colors.

Not online, they also had some great sweater ponchos that would serve as GREAT coats right now if you are in your last trimester. They go right over your head and would fit over your belly while at the same time keeping you warm until your baby arrives!

If you're looking for maternity, I also saw the following two sweaters that I thought were SO CUTE.

Maternity Swing Sweater Coat

Maternity Cable Knit Tunics

Normally I would never write a whole entry on one store. However, Old Navy has such great options that won't break the bank, AND can get you through the fall and even into the winter---I had to share these finds---especially if any of you are like me when it comes to LOVING fall fashion! Right now online there is also a 20% off anything buy with free shipping over $75. Use the code ONSAVE20. Happy Shopping!

Fashion Finds for Preggos!

As I am sure all of you can sympathize with, getting dressed in the morning is a chore within itself now that I am almost six months pregnant. Three times yesterday the ever-so-popular "cardigan" came up in conversations I was having with other moms-to-be. So many of you, like me, are sporting a uniform of a tank top, pants, and cardigan (from pre-pregnancy of course.) As the weather gets warmer, this uniform may go by the wayside, which is why I wanted to share some great (and lower-cost) items that I have found recently.

Be Maternity from Target

The Bella Band product for Tarjay, the Be Band, the camisoles and tanks are basically the SAME as those from Ingrid & Isabel at half the price. I wear the camisoles under everything and wore a Be Band with my jeans and pants for the first four months of pregnancy. These saved me a TON of money on buying maternity pants early on in my pregnancy.

Pure Body Tank from GAP

I have at least two of these tanks in every single color they come in. They fit amazing, hug your body and go well with skirts, pants, leggings and more. The ruching on the side also make for a flattering fit. I would venture to say I wear one of these tank tops five out of seven days a week. The ONE thing is that they are thin, so I usually layer over one of my Be Maternity tanks from Target if I am wearing this shirt on its own.

Maternity Twisted Tankini from Old Navy

This is a GREAT bathing suit to fit you all summer long and throughout your pregnancy. It comes in many colors and patterns and won't break the bank. I wore it during our Babymoon and absolutely loved it! Note: It fits pretty true to size and provides good coverage for your belly.

Madan Criss-Cross Cork Heels from Banana Republic

Heels are not for everyone during pregnancy, but as someone who is barely 5-feet tall, I usually feel frumpy dumpy in flats with dresses and skirts. These heels have been a GREAT answer to my height issues. They go great with jeans and look good with dresses---a perfect shoe for the summer. The heels are thick enough that they are comfy enough to wear almost all day (not for commuting of course!)

Namaste Coverup from Lululemon

On the website they show this cardigan tied, but it looks AMAZING untied as well. It is long and the perfect compliment for leggings, jeans or even a dress. The fact that it doesn't look like workout gear makes it great for a day at the office as well. It comes in neutrals such as black and gray as well as a jewel toned purple and coral. I cannot wait to wear mine all summer long!
