How to Wear Vintage while Pregnant, featuring Height of Vintage
I am constantly surprised by how many pregnant friends or bloggers I see who feel they are completely restricted to only ever buying maternity clothes while they’re pregnant. Well, I’m here to help you realize: you can totally snag some awesome vintage clothes even while you’re pregnant! You just have to know what to look for! And to prove it, I’ve chosen to show you items all from one vintage shop. Height of Vintage has so many options a pregnant girl can choose from, plus it’s my kind of shop because at least 75% of it is $50 or less. So let’s get to it! 1. Choose garments with stretch…

Pregnancy update (also, it’s winter!)
As I mentioned yesterday, I am officially eight months pregnant. This means I have eight weeks left to go in this whole journey of pregnancy, which is a thought that seems incredibly amazing to me. Have I really been pregnant for eight months already? Is it really only going to be — give or take– eight weeks until I have an actual real baby in my arms to take care of??? Generally, I don’t feel too overwhelmed by that prospect. I’ve wanted to be a mother since I was like… five… so finally being at that point twenty years later, it’s more exciting than scary. Of course, once I’m actually…

The Bee’s Knees
This dress is one of those dresses that I really, really love, but rarely wear. It’s just slightly too long for my taste (I prefer knee length), and the sleeves are kind of huge, but I love the color, the pattern, and the vintage 70’s/80’s ness of it. And for some reason, I think it works better on me while I’m pregnant. I feel like I’ve definitely grown more confident with style being pregnant, which was totally unexpected! I’m more bold in my choices, and I feel more like I have found a style that I belong in. I hope that doesn’t end once I have the baby. Tonight, the…

Sponsor Spotlight: Shop Vintage Minnie Wishlist
Hi everyone! Today I’m having a very lazy day, and what better way to spend a lazy day than to window shop on Etsy? You all know one of my lovely sponsors from the gorgeous red dress she sent me (that I wear like crazy), so I thought I’d introduce a few other AMAZING items in her shop that I’m currently drooling over! 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 As you can see, I’m currently on a blue and red kick, and I cannot WAIT until I’m done being pregnant so that vintage plaid skirts fit me again. I seriously miss them, and these two from Shop Vintage Minnie are absolutely gorgeous. But hey, while…
