Because I Am Unoriginal

A self photographer I am not, but since I am not going to risk my camera in the hands of small clumsy children (who come by their clumsiness honestly. I am after all, their clumsy mama), self photography is what you're gonna get.
Totally inspired by Hannah's What I Wore posts, (though lacking Hannah's cute wardrobe and figure) I'm kinda doing my own. So I can really see if something looks awful. Also, to make myself look presentable and get creative with my little maternity wardrobe. I need to do some sewing ASAP.
Without further ado, today and yesterdays outfits.

Leftover Sunday hair, thrown up in a claw-clip and with a bandana for something different. Looks like I have an extra set of ears.
Earrings: I made
Shirts: gray hand-me-down non maternity tee, Venuzia Jeans plus-size button down via the thrift store 4 babies ago.
Jeans- maternity hand-me-downs. Kinda short, but will look cute this summer cuffed into capris.
Shoes: Earth Spirit W*Mart, 6 years ago.

My This-Is-What-Have-It-Has-To-Work Sunday Look.
Earrings: gift
Scarf: Kohls, came with a clearance t-shirt that sort of fit, but mostly, I just wanted the scarf.
Sweater; Thrift store 10+ years ago.
Black Dress: Liz Lange clearance, 3 babies ago.
Boots: Lands End or L.L. Bean clearance splurge that I have never regretted, 2 years ago.
Bracelet: I made.

You can laugh at me, I don't mind. I have no idea how often I'll post these.
And the battle is going well, thank-you ('Lish).
Now, I have sandwich rolls to start for dinner, and another bag of stuff to run through the dryer, so I'll be going.
Tootles.

Well, I, for one, think you look GREAT! The best part of your outfits? Your smile. :) The second best part? Your thriftiness in piecing together bargains you picked up here and there. The third best part? Everything else. ;-)

You look fantastic, Bonnie! It's so hard to find flattering maternity clothing (unless you have a limitless bank account :-), but you look simply adorable! You're quite the inspiration!

Blessings,
Shannon

First commenter? EXACTLY.

I can't believe your baby and the bump around it! It is nice for you to go immediately to looking pregnant and avoiding/skipping/bypassing the frumpy and no-one-knows-why stage. Lucky girl!

I have been trying to do a few more interesting things with my hair lately. Some of it works, others, not so much. I put one of those gauzey scarves on my head one day and I thought I looked smashingly well for grocery day-until, after shopping all day long-I glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed the thing had scooted off my head and perched on top like a naughty bird. TOTALLY not cool.

I hope you keep it up. I am of the mindset that we women take entirely too few pictures of ourselves. PLus-I have loved Hannahs series too and would love to see yours since-well....we have more similar body types after all!

Are you kidding?! You look great! I'm liking this idea of posting-what-you're-wearing. I have such a hard time not being a total frump during the day. I find that i just blindly grab something to wear... I know jud appreciates a little extra "effort".... even though he would never say it...
Also, I like your hair length. Considering chopping mine up to the shoulders. Right now my hair looks IDENTICAL to how it looked when i was 12. Bangs and a braid. Sad.
Also-also, i think i saw those same shirt/scarf combos at kohls. I REALLY wanted one, but they were full price. I must have missed them on clearance. Rats.
Ok, now that i've written a book :-) ....
Hope you have a good day!

My comment is scatterbrained and does not flow. A case of thinking too much at once, methinks.

In case you, like I, had a hard time following it-I meant I hope you keep up the what I wore series.

And that second comment? awwwwwwww. What a dad!

You look so cute, Bonnie! I love the dress, sweater, boots outfit sooooo much! :) If I have another baby, I'm determined to get a few new maternity items! :)

I second Rebecca, hope you keep up these clothing posts. FUN! :)
