A Successful Day of Shopping

Have you ever entered a store and fallen in love with everything they have? Well, it hardly ever happens to me. I might like a bunch of stuff but usually not everything. So I went to the mall yesterday to get a face mask from Lush when I saw this gorgeous fuchsia dress/top in a store window. I had to have a look at it. It just dragged me in, and once I was there I was moving from one item to another grabbing everything on the way. I hadn't been this excited in such a long time! There were so many cute dresses and long tops and blazers and accessories... When an employee came up to me to start me a room I already had 10+ items on hand. By the time I actually got to the fitting room it was twice that. Almost everything I tried looked great on me. But then I started thinking about the practicality issue. How long will I wear all these cute dresses? I am three months pregnant already and although I am not yet showing, I will soon! So I decided to only get the stuff that I really really liked and put the rest back. When I was at the register I realized that I had only looked at 1/3 of the store, and I panicked 'cause I was still missing out on so many cute things :) But fortunately I contained myself and left the store with only what I had before I went to the register...well, almost! I had to get that cute necklace too! It was right next to me, winking at me...how could I let it down?!!! :))) When I left the store all happy and excited, I decided to check out that maternity store at the mall given that I would be shopping there soon. A gorgeous pair of  skinny jeans caught my eye so I took that with a really cute blue top and went to the fitting room. There I found this fake belly/pillow that you wrap around your belly to do an early maternity shopping I guess. So I wrapped it around my belly and after trying on the top I had chosen and not liking it, I decided to try the new clothes I had just bought. With the fake belly I could have a better idea on how and if they were going to fit me in a month or two. OH MY GOD!!!!!! Those dresses fit so beautifully with the pregnant belly and the maternity jeans. The only difference was that if they were dresses before, they were now tops. I was so excited!!!! Before going to the maternity store I thought I was going to wear my new clothes only for maybe a month, but afterwards I realized that I could wear them for a longer time! And what made me even more excited was the fact that I don't have to shop exclusively at maternity stores. The only thing I need from a maternity store are the pants, and the rest I can buy from the same stores as before. Of course I have to be creative about it but still. It's so exciting! I can't wait to make a haul/pregnancy styling video soon! I just have to figure out how to get one of those fake bellies for better demonstration (any ideas will be appreciated. The fake belly costs around $40 on amazon so I don't know if it's worth buying, but I'll try to figure something out :)
Don't forget to comment! I would love to hear what you wore when YOU were pregnant!
