WIW--LOUD, featuring some new things

Actually I have a lot of questions for you all just now, but I will try to space it out. A couple of weeks ago I went out shopping and picked up some new things to accommodate my growing figure and squelch my morning meltdowns. I bought

(1) This top. I know it is really loud, but it makes me smile. The glitter, the bright contrasting yellow, what can I say?
(2) These jeans. They are super low-rise and very stretchy, and we are in love because they are so comfortable and I feel good in them. I like that they are so tight on the leg because then I feel I am not losing my shape completely.
(3) These boots. This was an indulgence on my part but I love them and the leather is incredibly soft, so I hope they will expand with my feet for awhile. I haven't tried them with a dress yet like on the model. I fear my ankles and shins might just be swimming too ridiculously in them, but the sales lady said I should just look at them from farther away to judge this This pregnancy look on Gisele was something I could relate to, so I figured I can always go in that direction later on, and the boots are part of that.

I know the layered look with the top is ALGO, but it is cold here even though it is June, and I am in experimental mode. Please feel free to let me know frankly what you think, but be gentle too because it's a little hard to find things right now.

Scarlet, I think you look beautiful. That top is gorgeous and not too ALGO IMO. The boots are very cool amd I'm guessing comfortable.

Lynne

I don't think this is as loud as you're afraid it is, and I think you look fab! And if congrats are in order. . . congrats!

I love this look! Not too algo at all. I found a few longer graphic knits to be perfect for pregnancy without being too frumpy, this looks great! Normal non maternity black leggings also served well so I think you have chosen some very versatile items. Love the look with the boots, those will totally make an outfit! Great inspiration photo too, I found the celebrity photos to be very helpful when I was trying to come up with attractive pregnancy looks. You look great!

Scarlet, you look great! I think this silhouette is one that will take you quite far as your body changes. Great top - I don't think it's too much going on at all. And double points for it making you smile! Those jeans look terrific on you - are they worth trying to duplicate? And now *you* are going to be the one to need to guard your closet - those boots are FABULOUS! I hope the "morning meltdowns" are few and far between...

Scarlet, you look so great! Fantastic boots. So happy for you!

Scarlet

Thank you so much for the super sweet comments. I am just finding myself so unsure/insecure lately, it’s really a balm.

Lynne, great to see you here! Thanks so much for the good wishes.

Sarah, yeah, I think tunics and leggings (and boots) are going to be a staple. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was finding my leggings uncomfortable, and then DH told me I had to think like an old man with a big belly and either wear my pants over or under Sometimes I have such a mental block about things.

Christy, I am thinking of looking for these jeans in another wash... I figure when they get too restrictive I could get them altered with elastic panels. No, I am not having meltdowns now that I bought a couple of things. I think next month I will probably need some additional forgiving things though. I would share my boots if I could I am glad you like them.

Suz

Yay!! You look terrific, Scarlet, and these seem like incredibly practical and fun purchases. Way to go!

I think it's a great tunic. Love the boots. I think your next pair of jeans should be a super faded lighter blue.

kellygirl

You are stunning, Scarlet! I love the new top and boots. I would never guess that you are pregnant (congrats, btw!)! You look fab!

Alecia

Great look! You are doing a fabulous job of stylishly dressing your changing shape. I hope you try and post look 3, too. I love that.

Alecia, I am trying to think how to convince DH that a black leather jacket is an essential maternity piece

Anna, I was thinking I could finally bring myself to buy dark blue, but super light wash gets more wear by me in normal life. Pondering.

Kate

Scarlet, you look beautiful! I love the top and boots. I'd missed your baby news, so congratulations! And might I add that you have gorgeous hair.

Kari

Scarlet, I think it's a great look. I like that it's bold and maybe more artsy than your normal look. I also love how the wide drapey neckline of the top accents your lovely shoulders and collarbones.
