So I guess I looked&nbsp;very boring and un-FAB those times. I was far less&nbsp;interested in fashion back then&nbsp;so I did not feel too bad about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1012056 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 10:56:32 +0000 Asingh 1012056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, simple and chic outfits!

Terrific actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011767 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:47:50 +0000 Anonymous 1011767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look wonderful, not at all boring. Remember that you will probably still need to wear your maternity things for a bit after the baby until your body adjusts, which seems to take longer each time. It was a good idea to get some jeans. I love seeing your kitty who seems so attentive to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011759 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:35:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1011759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just looking fantastic Sara - and all of these outfits are wonderful on you. I think there's a few of us getting tired of the summer season's clothes and itching to get into our fall wardrobes - add maternity clothing to that and anyone would be getting bored. But your outfits boring? Not a chance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011700 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:03:42 +0000 Angie 1011700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachy said. </p> <p>Your Kitty is so consistantly in your photos.

End of season is always meh anyhow, not even counting latter stages of pregnancy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011401 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:34:57 +0000 greycat6 1011401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can personally relate to your feelings of boredom about your pregnancy wardrobe.&nbsp; The second time around I borrowed many pieces from a girlfriend who's style was very different from mine but one&nbsp;that I admired greatly.&nbsp; I was very fun to get dressed every morning in my 'aspirational style' wardrobe!</p> <p>Your outfits look modern, classy and interesting to my eyes. Not boring at all! Number 2 is my favorite.&nbsp;On top of that, your best accessory is you lovely glow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011388 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:18:08 +0000 cobaltblue 1011388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maternity dressing sure does get boring, and your issues are compounded by hot weather dressing constraints, as Suz points out. I've been lucky to avoid the heat as both kids are May babies, so I could enjoy a little more layering for variety.</p> <p>That said, I think you look great. Number 2 is my favorite! I love the way those shoes look with your green capris. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011381 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:12:25 +0000 Raisin 1011381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was the same way. &nbsp;I didn't want to spend a ton on maternity clothes so I wore pretty much the same 4-5 outfits all the time. &nbsp;Gets a bit boring after a while.</p> <p>That said, your outfits look great! &nbsp;I don't find them too simple because they have great ruching or patterns or small details that enhance the simplicity. &nbsp;That's the kind of looks I like! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011341 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:39:36 +0000 T-Rex 1011341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the outfits you posted are boring. However, as someone who likes to change things up a lot, I understand why you feel that way. I like the fact that in each of these photos, your shoes add some interest to the outfit. So...maybe you can get around the limitations of your top and bottom options, by&nbsp;focussing on other accessory options in the same way you choose shoes. You mentioned jewelry, but there are&nbsp;possibilities with scarves, hair accessories... OK, scarves and hair accessories. I can't think of anything else.&nbsp;:-)</p> <p>Or, what about exploring other ways to change up your look? New makeup colors,&nbsp;crazy fun nail polish and nail art, etc. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011258 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:54:12 +0000 Suz 1011258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I think it's normal to get a bit tired of our options towards the end of any season. Combine that with your special issues (pregnancy so a reduced wardrobe and a very hot climate) and no wonder you're feeling a bit bored.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have the same problem with hot weather dressing, too -- a top and bottom and shoes feels like...meh! It doesn't always look that way to others, though.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think your simple outfits are boring but if you want to make adjustments, post pregnancy maybe you can consider a few new silhouettes and try a couple of key autumn trends, just&nbsp;to refresh things?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---too-simple#post-1011241 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:44:28 +0000 Sara L. 1011241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell if I'm bored of my clothes because I'm used to having a fairly large closet and my maternity wardrobe is small or if my style is just boring.&nbsp; I like fairly streamlined, yet feminine looks.&nbsp; No ruffles or bows, not a lot of layers, but not minimal since I like jewelry.&nbsp; But have these gone beyond simple and streamlined and into boring territory?</p> <p>#1 - Black and white.&nbsp; The&nbsp;neckline is so low that I have to wear a cami underneath and it's been too hot for 2 layers, so this top hasn't been worn much.</p> <p>#2/3 - Patterned top and green capris (again!).&nbsp; I have limited bottoms that are still comfortable (as I get further and further along&nbsp;I don't like to wear anything constricting)&nbsp;so I wear the&nbsp;same ones week after week.</p> <p>#4/5 - Black capris with blue top and new pumps.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.&nbsp; </p>
