Good morning my friends!
Before I start my post, I have to confess I had a bit of a fat kid moment last night and feel like total poop about it.
With all the indulgent eating this weekend, I had planned to get back on track yesterday and it went great…until I arrived home. I finished off my sweet swap cookies along with 2 maple cupcakes (that I made for the baby shower). Then I followed it by eating the last 1/10th of jar of PB&Co Mighty Maple. Sigh. No control. I was racked with guilt for the rest of the night. Grrr….
But today is a new day and I’m determined to have a wee bit more discipline.
Moving on…
For this Shoes-Day post, I’m going to show you that 3rd trimester pregnancy doesn’t mean flat shoes or tennis (unless you want to, that is
)


The shoes featured in both of these outfits are Me Too black patent leather pumps with a great tread. They are comfy, basic and go with a ton.
On the left: Black maternity skirt from Mom’s the Word, basic white tank from Target and military jacket from Marshalls
On the right: maxi maternity skirt from Destination Maternity (love this skirt), teal tank from Old Navy, and tweed taupe blazer from NY&Co signature line.

These boots are some of my absolute fave brown boots – they are Alfani and purchased from Macy’s a few years ago. I paired them with black Old Navy maternity pants and a loose tan/taupe Dolman knit from Marshalls.

Just like black bumps, a girl needs brown pumps. These are Jessica Simpson crocodile patterned purchased from Marshalls. The wool plaid skirt is a recent love from Pea in the Pod (via Destination Maternity) – so great for Fall! A cheap-o tank from Forever 21 and black cardi from Express completes the outfit.

Who doesn’t love polka-dots? These Jessica Simpson black shoes were a Christmas present from the hubby in 2006. I channeled my inner 80’s chick with cropped Forever 21 leggings (non-maternity) and a loose teal Forever 21 tunic (non-maternity).

And finally, I embraced our Cali warm spell last week and wore my strappy brown sandals by Enzo Angiolini, which I bought through DSW.com. The jeans are boot cut Motherhood Maternity brand, with the same taupe Forever 21 top, and taupe/white striped cardi from Marshalls. (This is the outfit that went with yesterday’s side profile pic of the belly growth
)
Admittedly my uber high heels are starting to gather dust and I’m opting for more wedges, lower heels, wider bases, etc. But I’m not giving up quite yet
I still want to incorporate fun fashionable choices as long as my comfort isn’t too compromised!
Have you had any life situations that have required a change in footwear choices?
Pumps? Boots? Sandals? Which reigns supreme?
Have any recent fat kid moments like mine???
