I'm back! What I'm wearing...

Hi everyone, it's been almost a year since I last posted on here. Not sure if anyone remembers me or not. I'll reintroduce myself a little. I'm a homeschooling mom of 3, agews 8, 6 and 4. And also 4.5 months pregnant with #4! YLF has really helped me over the past year to cull thru my wardrobe and pick out outfits that I NEVER would have worn otherwise. I just have limited time for posting!! Having said that, I'm having trouble with the pregnancy outfits. I've been visiting academichic (e.) and various others that I can take inspiration from and they have been enourmous help!! But I need some feedback to make sure what I'm wearing is ok.

Here's my first pictures I posted way back in August of '08 asking about my body shape. It was determined that I was an rectangular hourglass. Granted, I'm not that shape now!LOL!

So anyway, back to the point of what I'm wearing today...

A lavender silk cardi, layered over a white tee, black jersey maternity skirt, purple peep-toe flats. Silver earrings and a cream/silver watch...

What can I do to improve on the look? Be totally honest!! I know tops with skirts should be shorter, but at this point, it's got to cover the bump too!

Gratuitous bump shot...

Thanks everyone!! I'll be posting a lot more often over the next few months as my body changes...

Welcome back! I'm a homeschooler, too. My kids are 10 and 13, so a little older than yours. You look great for such a busy mom!

I think the outfit looks perfect just like it is. Even the top looks the perfect length to me.

And .... I agree with the others ... you are adorable!

We did not forget you! Welcome back. You look BEAUTIFUL!

Hey fellow homeschooler moms! Here's to dispelling myths that all homeschoolers wear denim jumpers!

Of course we remember you, Minivanmom! Welcome back! Your outfit looks great, both very comfy and stylish. Plus I really like the muted color combo.

Oh, wow, thanks everyone!!

Yay, for all the homeschoolers on the board. Oh, and Cricket, I attended my first homeschool convention a few years back. Over dinner and cocktails that night my husband and I were laughing over my "tight" jeans and clothing compared to all the denim jumpers out there. Yikes!! Really, I felt almost out of place.

Thanks for the reinforcement on the outfit! I was nervous putting my pic up. I was afraid it was a little "bland", but it worked for today. Only had school planning and piano lessons for the 2 oldest so I was comfy.

MVM - welcome back. I absolutely remember you and all the changes you'd made after posting photos on YLF last year. Welcome back and congrats. You look awesome.

I'm a homeschooling mom, too! I had no idea there were so many of us on here.

Hello Merry! I've heard that many homeschooling moms are "researchers" by nature, and this website is a definite encyclopedia on style!

I'm part of a very ecclectic homeschooling group that meets weekly at a local park. You find it all in my group- from the denim jumpers, super long hair, broomstick skirts, home made skirts in very *interesting* fabric patterns, boxy tees and capris (Mom Uniform), to short shorts, maxi dresses, Jr. tees and tight jeans, facial piercings and tatoos. It's funny, and a bit said that there is a poorly dressed stereotype of "homeschoolers" in our society.

That's great that there is so much diversity where you are Chewy! Not so much where we are.

MVM - I am new to the forum. So let me begin by saying hello and that I am pleased to meet you. I just found off that I am 8 weeks pregnant, so I am desperatly trying to rack up ideas for pregnancy outfits. Your outfit is a great source of inspiration!
