Shopping - Forever 21 (maternity)


I made another purchase on Forever 21 because as I'm now 5mons pregnant, a LOT of my clothes are too tight, too short and just plain uncomfortable to wear.  Some items are from their standard line, maternity line and their plus size line.  I'm a firm believer in wearing figure flattering clothes and showing off the pregnant belly in an appropriate and mature manner.  Buying my pregnant clothes from Forever 21 helps me maintain my body confidence and even make me feel sexier than I would in those frumpy-mumu-esque maternity clothes from the prego shops.

I first had to upgrade my tank top collection from mediums to larges and from scoop necks to v necks.  I got 6 Large Essential Knit Tanks (25" long - which is good to fully cover my belly) at $2.80 each in the shades Peach, White, Dark Grey, Black, Taupe, Grey.


I wanted to get a few more of the Basic Seamless Maternity Tanks because I love the ruching on the sides and how stretchy they are without ever looking stretched out.  I got 3 of them at $12.80 in the size ML each in the shades Peach, Cream, Pink. 



I decided to get some longer sleeved tops for the cooler weather sneaking in lately.  The maternity line didn't have any long sleeve tops, so I clicked over to the plus size line and found these Raglan Pocket Tops at $14.80 each.  I'm pretty desperate for some longer sleeved tops, so although these felt a bit pricey, I got them anyways because I can't be rocking tanks all Fall and Winter.  I ordered 3 in x-large in the shades Purple, Teal, Charcoal.



Next I wanted a sweater to wear around the house or when we go out, and I found this cozy looking (and feeling) Wool-Blend Longline Cardigan at $27.80.  It's a plus size x-large so it'll fit me during and after my pregnancy.



Last clothing item, I had originally wanted to get a pair of maternity pants, but I already have a few pairs of Forever 21 maternity leggings from my pregnancy last year.  So, I decided to save some money and buy a pair of Cable Knit Leg Warmers in Black at $8.80.  I figured I will reuse my maternity leggings and add these leg warmers on super cold days/nights.



Now for the cheap jewelry!  I know that Forever 21 jewelry doesn't last long, and tarnishes extremely quick, but for under $3 each I couldn't help but look.  I bought a K Charm Necklace at $2.80, a Filigree Ring at $2.80, a pair of Heart Locket Earrings at $1.50, and 2 Single Bow Bracelets in Gold/Teal and Gold/Black at $2.80 each.
