My maternity - wearing days are so far, far behind me that it feels odd to say that I'm really excited to see how you and Bella dress in the next few months.<br /> Preppy style was all the rage during my pregnancy. I had a few hand-me-down tops, bought 2 oxford cloth shirts- blue and white- and slacks in navy, black, and berry, dressed pretty much like all of my non - pregnant friends, and didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. A few months after DD'S birth specialty maternity shops opened in all the malls and Baby on Board t - shirts were in style!<br /> Congratulations to you and Bella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261378 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:58:23 +0000 Angie 1261378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3. Looking fab, Jenava. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261373 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:54:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1261373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!&nbsp; I managed to pass my entire pregnancy without buying maternity clothing, thanks to black ponte yoga pants, my husband's shirts, and Eileen Fisher.&nbsp; Hm, I guess I did buy some white maternity tees and a black cashmere sweater there at the end... those were pretty useful.</p> <p>One thing is that soon you will be unable to bend over to get on complicated shoes, so shoes that zip or slide on are a very big deal. Birks are a great idea!</p> <p>Also, your body will tell you how to eat "properly."&nbsp; The thing to remember is that eating well is not for the baby, it is for you.&nbsp; The baby will suck every good thing out of your body (that's why they used to say "a tooth for every child").&nbsp; So make sure you get enough calcium and other nutrients, but eating tons just may not be possible.&nbsp; When I was pregnant I remember I could really only eat lunch, so I made sure it was delicious.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261342 Mon, 26 May 2014 14:08:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1261342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congats, Jenava!&nbsp; You loot chic and fab in all three of these ensembles.&nbsp; Your tops skim without adding volume, and the colors are so yummy in #1.</p> <p>I think Anna's dress will be a great addition for the summer!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261301 Mon, 26 May 2014 12:33:59 +0000 sarah 1261301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I obviously haven't been around, because I missed this announcement.

You are 3 weeks ahead of me, so I am watching your pregnancy outfits with interest. My trousers, too, feel very constricting at the moment, so I am trying to make do with skirts and dresses. Good thing the weather is cooperating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261282 Mon, 26 May 2014 11:20:53 +0000 Astrid 1261282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, I love all three outfits!

The fatigue should pass now that you are in the second trimester and you may want to even take on big projects. The tiredness in the last trimester is more from the extra weight you are carrying and difficulty sleeping. But things that you enjoy wearing because you will wear them a lot! What you wear now you will probably be wearing again after the baby and before you have your shape back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261254 Mon, 26 May 2014 08:20:37 +0000 Inge 1261254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three outfits are marvelous, Jenava, but I especially love two: brilliant silhouette on you, and I adore the juxtaposition of the girly lace-y hem on the leggings with the Birkenstock sandals.</p> <p>Holding thumbs that you'll feel more energetic very soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261252 Mon, 26 May 2014 08:14:37 +0000 lyn67 1261252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jenava, you look more than fab! Congrats for&nbsp;entering the&nbsp;second semester, all three of your outfits are stylish and trendy looking esp loved nr 1)! Great advise from Cerinda's french pal!:.-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261230 Mon, 26 May 2014 04:52:27 +0000 goldenpig 1261230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! Way to go, you look fantastic and your personal style really shines through. Super maternity style!&nbsp;It's hard to pick a favorite but I think #1 is fun with the printed pants and slippers. Hope you're feeling more energetic soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261227 Mon, 26 May 2014 04:38:49 +0000 Deborah 1261227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you look fantastic.&nbsp; Each outfit still speaks "Jenava" loud and clear.&nbsp; #2 looks great and I really like how you styled #3.</p> <p>Excellent advise from Cerinda.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a really nice materinity range here in Australia called "Ripe" and at the time only certainly stores carried small amounts of thier clothing, so I contacted their head office and they invited myself and&nbsp;a friend to shop their factory where everything was available:)&nbsp; It was a great day and we were well fitted out our pregnancies.&nbsp; There range isn't cheap so I just passed it on when I was done.</p> <p>Trust you do start to feel more "normal" soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261222 Mon, 26 May 2014 04:28:51 +0000 Cerinda 1261222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I suggest? Consider each day's state to be "the new normal." Every day differs. </p> <p>A very chic frenchwoman advised me with my first: "Spend very little. Indulge in cheap and trendy. Make a small wardrobe; tire of it; get rid of it. This is the one time you can afford to do that."</p> <p>Best wishes with the adventure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261217 Mon, 26 May 2014 04:16:58 +0000 Adelfa 1261217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel too tired to be articulate, so I just want to say you look fantastic in all of these looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261185 Mon, 26 May 2014 03:15:06 +0000 jackiec 1261185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WTG on hitting the second trimester! You look amazing! I especially love the crisp white of #2 and the peek of cropped leggings - great idea! How nice to borrow a dress for #3 - it looks great. And #1 looks awesome too - if you're sick of slouchy it's not showing - because you look great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261183 Mon, 26 May 2014 03:11:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1261183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Aida--your style is still fab and very you. Congratulations on the milestone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261179 Mon, 26 May 2014 02:57:59 +0000 Aida 1261179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava you seem to be doing a great job of still looking like yourself sartorially! I can understand getting tired of all the slouch, but #1 really does look quite fabulous. The drape, the colors, the print mix. Superb. #2 has a great mix of slouch and sleek, the crop leggings are so fun. #3 is such a perfect relaxed casual cool. Hope things feel more settled soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261162 Mon, 26 May 2014 02:36:21 +0000 Jaime 1261162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made me smile with the idea of feeling normal during your pregnancy. Pregnancy is never really&nbsp;normal - certainly not your first pregnancy. Nonetheless, you look fantastic. Three different moods but they all work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---embarking-on-second-trimester#post-1261159 Mon, 26 May 2014 02:32:14 +0000 Jenava 1261159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I passed into the second trimester of my pregnancy a few weeks back, currently at 15 weeks.&nbsp; Not showing yet, but am getting round and have just this week begun wearing some maternity clothing, which is all too big and falls down.&nbsp; However my other bottoms are too tight, so I feel I'm in between, and probably will be for the next few weeks.</p> <p>All these are non-maternity wear.&nbsp; <br />#1 - Joe Fresh pajama trousers and printed top - I bought these trousers early in my pregnancy a size up when I was very bloated.&nbsp; They are still a bit slouchy in the waist, and I'm quite tired of wearing slouchy bottoms at this point, but I enjoyed wearing these with my smoking slippers and mixing patterns.</p> <p>#2 - I wore this skirt with a rubberband through the zipper and buttonhole.&nbsp; New charcoal grey suede birkenstocks.</p> <p>#3 - a dress that I nipped from Anna's closet because it's rather forgiving.&nbsp; Worn to mother's day brunch.</p> <p>I have been very tired and lazy, and am still struggling with eating properly.&nbsp; I'm looking forward to getting a little further along and feeling more normal (if that's possible while growing another human!). </p>
