Summer Wardrobe

Picture
This summer I've had a bit of a quandary when it comes to getting dressed.  I'm on baby number 4 and I've never ever been pregnant through the summer...much less an Arizona summer.  Knowing this is my last baby, I haven't been too interested in building an amazing maternity wardrobe.  Let's be real, is anyone ever interested in building an amazing maternity wardrobe?  Didn't think so.  To be honest, I was mostly concerned about the bathing suit situation.  Perhaps it's because I haven't been pregnant in over 5 years, but I had visions that haunted me, of maternity tankinis with yards of ruffled fabric floating around me in the pool.

Good news is, dresses are killing it this summer & I found the perfect maternity one-piece that doesn't look like an absolute nightmare...in fact, it's pretty darn cute.
Because of the heat, I've rarely pulled out my maternity jeans...literally the only thing I kept from my last pregnancy.  Instead, I've found dresses that can hide the bump & I've been loving the ease of getting dressed.  No mixing, no matching, just an easy breezy dress everyday to keep me cool & comfortable.  

Most of them I've bought over the last couple months & can't find online, but here are a few other favorites, mostly under $100...the last one, is most similar to the one I'm wearing and only $20!
Currently I'm feeling glad about the fact that none of these are maternity & that I'll be able to wear them again. Although every time I have that thought, I feel like the bride that says, 'The best thing about my bridesmaid's dresses is that they can wear them again.'  Riiiiiiight.  Perhaps, they'll all be in the Goodwill pile after I wear them nonstop this summer, but until then, I'm enjoying them.  Easy to dress up or down for work or play.

Onto my biggest concern: the bathing suit. I'm in a bathing suit every.single.day.  Sometimes, multiple times a day.  My family teases me regarding my collection & I will say, being pregnant really put a damper on my bathing suit season.  BUT, I did find a total winner that fit into qualifications.  To qualify the bathing suit had to be 3 things:

One-Piece:  I do have a two-piece option that I wear as well, but with a gaggle of 10-year-old boys in & out, I needed a one-piece option, mostly because I've never found a tankini that stayed put in the water.

Reasonably Priced:  I found a LOT of great one-piece options that I would have considered if I was planning on more babies, here, here and here, but since this is a one summer suit, price was a factor.  I was looking to keep it under $100.

Not Ugly: I know, its a high standard to meet, but after perusing my options, 'not ugly' was a good threshold to pass.

After a lot of trial & a lot of error, I set to the interwebs & found this gem from TopShop.  I'd model it for you, buuuut, nope, I won't.  It comes in a few other colors, here & here.  I will say the fit on it is true to size & really flattering.  Just typing that is making me laugh...a maternity bathing suit + flattering in the same sentence, but seriously, it has a good cut to it.  Try & let me know what you think!

    Hi, I'm Amy. When I'm not scouring the valley for the perfect new house, you can usually find me in the kitchen with a gaggle of kids. Chips, salsa and a Diet Coke are usually in hand.
