Week 21: Draped in capes








Every fall fashion magazine I've read has said that capes are in.  Great timing for pregnant ladies everywhere!

Sweater: H&M
Jeggings: Forever 21
Boots: Aldo

I passed by this sweater during a quick sweep through H&M.  I even picked it up and carried it around for a while, then decided that I wasn't going to buy anything that day.  But the sweater passed my shopping must-have test.  If I think about said item for three days in a row after departing the store empty-handed, I must return to purchase it.  I couldn't be happier that I did.  For $19.99, this sweater cape (capater? swape?) will get me through winter nicely, keeping me and baby nice and cozy depending on what I layer underneath.  

And can we talk about jeggings real quick?  When jeggings (a combo of jeans and leggings) hit the mainstream, I chuckled.  I snorted.  I looked down my nose at them.  I thought, "Look.  If I'm going to wear skinny jeans, I'll wear real jeans."  Pregnancy sure does a lot for your perspective.  When my skinny jeans no longer fit, even with a Be Band, and I wasn't ready to spring for full panel skinny maternity jeans, jeggings became my new hero.  For a $10 price tag, I'm a total sellout.
