Just too tricky for me
This dress is hard to put on, the boob area is very challenging (would take some serious boob tape wizardry to make it work, and the sleeves wouldn’t stay up on me. It’s cute if you have the patience, but I just didn’t.

Worlds most middle of the road pants
Not right, not baggy, not high rise, not low rise, not too short or long, not stretchy or stiff, not flattering or unflattering. These are JUST JEANS being jeans lmao and I weirdly loved them even though they did nothing for my bod.

Hot but RISKY
Loved this in the mirror but was feeling very self conscious by the time I got to the wedding. It’s low cut and short, so I spent half the night pulling it down and the other half pulling it up. My parents happened to be at this wedding, too lol so double awkward! Would be awesome for a friends night out.

Not for me
Took a risk with this one and just didn’t like it. I thought it looked very dowdy on me.

Fire but a little awkward
Surprisingly sheer, but has a slip which helps but also makes it very hard to get into. The fabric is so thin that you could also see the slip outline under the dress which looked a little awkward. I don’t know that anybody else liked this dress on me but I thought I looked fire lolol

Too conservative
I thought I’d try something a little different and loved the color, but the cut is soooo conservative and just felt tired. Some may say classic, but I say boring!!!

The burbs aren't ready for this
This would be really cute in the city, but I just have nowhere to wear this in the suburbs! I'm not ready for this level of underboob. However, had a nice, slightly oversized fit and a great pattern.

Cute but small in arms
Great color and length. Not tight in the stomach which is ideal for postpartum, but very tight in the arms which caused some not so cute bulging.

Good winter staple
This is a good long coat in a cool color. I was expecting chocolate brown but it's got a purpley tone. I've worn a ton and would buy if it weren't for the snaps. They're hard to close and they pop open easily -- zipper would be better. Not the warmest, but nice and long.

Ugly and sloppy
I rented for an elevated casual nursing-friendly option. It's comfy, but not flattering and just weird. Drab color and too slouchy.

Comfy and cute
If you're between sizes, size down. I'm an L/XL and the XL was comfy but a little big. Cute, subtle twist on black leggings.

Sized up for late third trimester
This is a nice, comfy sweater. Nothing remarkable, but at 37 weeks I'm just happy to have something that looks normal, fits, and keeps me warm--much more presentable than my husband's hoodies! I sized up but probably didn't need to--fits well but with extra room.

Not cute but I love it anyway
I'm so glad to have this coat!! It zips over my bump, covers my butt, covers my whole neck, and is a great weight. It was perfect with just a t-shirt under for a 40 degree November walk, but there's definitely room to layer up. So so comfy! It's not at all flattering, but at 37 weeks, I'm just happy to have a coat that fits!

Cute but awkward
50s pregnant housewife vibes with the voluminous lower portion. Im usually an A cup and maybe up to a C now at most, but the band still didn't fit over my boobs. Cute enough for a dinner with friends but wouldn't wear again.

Great jeans but too tight on a third trimester belly.
I usually wear a 28-29. I ordered these in a 30 and they fit great everywhere but the belly. Just too tight after 30 weeks. I still wore them a couple times. They're your classic 7s -- nice soft material with a little stretch but not so much that they stretch out.

Would have been great for second trimester -- too small in my third!
I normally wear a medium in sweaters, but at 36 weeks I'm just too puffy. Should have sized up! I still wore to a family dinner but had gapping at the side buttons. Cute sweater, though, and I loved the stars. Great weight for fall and thin enough to wear under a jacket.

Favorite maternity jeans -- ordered twice for diff trimesters
Love these jeans! They make me feel slightly normal--love the elastic vs the full stomach panel or the soft band. I ordered in my usual size 28 which were great for the second trimester, but I reordered in a 31 for the end of my third trimester. I'm just so puffy and the waist of the 28 was too tight on my stomach (due in 3 weeks). Very soft mid to lightweight material with good stretch but they don't get too stretched out.
