Frumptastic

I miss my regular wardrobe.  Especially my pre-maternity work attire.  I have some great skirts and dresses and work pants - plenty of mix and match staples that provided a plethora of cute work clothes.  But none of these clothes fit anymore since Baby Swan has taken up residence in my uterus.

And now, I just feel frumpy.  I have four dresses that are in rotation - a black dress, the same black dress but with white polka dots, a purple dress and a black and white non-maternity dress that I should probably stop wearing.  And then I have a pair of black pants and a pair of black capris.  Most of my shirts aren't work appropriate, but I can get away with some non-maternity blousy shirts.  And that's about it in the work clothes category.

I bought a handful of clothes from old navy maternity online, but they are by no means work appropriate.  Not sure what I was thinking there.  So I think its time to hit up the maternity stores for some work clothes in hopes of finding something moderately cute. 

I also think half of the problem is my shoes.  I'm trying to steer clear of my high heels, but I'm a high heels wearing kind of girl.  I love shoes.  Especially the high ones.  And these flat sandals I have on just add to the frump factor.  My boss kept commenting on my high heels and telling me I'd need to hang them up soon enough.  And my feet have started to grow a little, so some of my heels don't fit quite right.  So I bought this pair of black comfortable, yet kind of stylish flat sandals.  But they're just not me. 

I think the solution is a new pair of heels in a half size bigger than normal.  Now if only I could find a pair of comfortable, high heels for a cheap price...

Off to the mall I go.
