I have to admit that when I took these pictures I was 18.5 weeks pregnant and now I'm showing so much more at 20.5 weeks! It's crazy how fast that happens! Which by the way, I've learned that it's really important to not compare yourself to other girls. It was easy for me to think, "Man, I look so much further along than my friend who is or was at this stage." But everyone is different and I have to trust that I am the size that I'm supposed to be. So anyways, I hope that this look can give style inspiration to ladies of all sizes - which of course is always my goal! :)

This cowl neck sleeveless sweater has been my go-to from pre-pregnancy to all throughout my first trimester and during the last few weeks starting my second trimester as we transition into spring. It gets really hot in my office so it's been key for me to find outfits that are appropriate for the season but not making me sweat bullets when the heat is blasting. Plus when it gets cold, you can easily layer it with a jean jacket (see below). My favorite part about this top is the side slits; there's just something really cute and sexy about it. The chunky, loose style of this sweater has been perfect for what I call the "awkward stages of pregnancy," where you don't really look pregnant but rather that you've been enjoying a few extra slices of pizza, bagels and desserts (which has absolutely been the case for me!). And yes, I'm totally rocking the rubber band trick with these jeans (and you can't tell!). I constantly feel like that scene in Mean Girls (wow I'm really quoting that a lot lately!) where she's like, "Sweat pants are the only thing that fit me right now! Whatever, I'm getting cheese fries!" Haha!

I'm sad to say that this particular sweater is sold out (I got it on crazy sale at Anthropologie this fall) but have no fear - here are lots of adorable options from Asos that are super affordable (read: $20!!). Woo hoo! Happy Shopping and Happy Almost Spring!!

Spring is around the corner!! And I can't be more excited! But if you're up North like me, you're still having to dress for the winter weather (it snowed the other day in NYC!). Here are two outfit ideas for transitioning into spring. 1) Retire your winter coat and layer a fitted leather jacket over a sweater with ripped skinny jeans. Roll up the bottom of your jeans in anticipation for somewhat warmer weather and pair with sleek ankle boots 2) Throw on a floppy hat to keep your head warm and add a pop of color. Style with your favorite textured knit. By the way, if you guys aren't familiar with Massimo Dutti (where I got this sweater), you need to check it out! It's a sister store to Zara and has beautiful clothing made in Turkey!

Okay, okay....you got me! If you didn't already notice from the leaves on the ground...yes, these pictures were taken in the fall. But I am currently wearing this outfit and think it's perfect for transitioning into fall or spring!

Beauty Tip: As a New Yorker, I know we all love to wear our greys and blacks but try adding a pink lip for a little color to brighten up your look!
