{ what i wore : rust + mustard }

maternity style is not my favorite. 

i find it so difficult to dress a large bump... it's like i'm dressing a foreign body 

and i have a hard time finding stylish clothes at a decent price. 

so at times i've had to get creative with non-maternity pieces.

this outfit was inspired by ashley from the vanilla tulip's dress 

which combined two colors i would typically not put together:

rust + mustard

i got the idea to just hike up a non-maternity skirt 

from seeing hello hue's lindsay do just that throughout her pregnancy. 

she always has the cutest outfits that i could never pull off.

the top is definitely not long enough to cover my bump but it doesn't matter since it's tucked in.

skirt : anthropologie $20 ( in 2009) 

lace shirt : target $8 

broken belt tied in a knot : mom's closet

sandals : gap $7 (also 2009)

ps: if you ask me, this is exactly what blogs are intended for: inspiration. thanks ladies!
