First item on my Google calendar pregnancy checklist: COMPLETE!
ASOS is having a super sale right now, so I thought I would grab some dresses for weddings that are happening when I am in my 3rd trimester.
side note: seriously friends, you plan these weddings for 5 years and you all HAVE to get married when I will have the gravitational pull of a small planet? CHEERS.
Hopefully the gold one will fit for one in March and the pink will fit for the one in early April. £48 for the dresses, fascinator & glasses- I won’t be too upset if I get too big for them.
Also- are people doing fascinators still? Or should I spring for a hat?
At the one wedding there will be enough Americans so I won’t stand out if I don’t have something on my head, but will really have to figure out something for the other if the pink flower fascinator won’t cut it.I think I might wait until March to pick out shoes though- I am a bit worried about a swelling feet situation.
Thank goodness for French Fashion.
I have been struggling to find maternity wear that I like, specifically a one piece swimming costume. I swim regularly and wanted something that would hold me, with all my blooming bumps, in and still look fashionable. I love keeping it local, but England has failed me terribly. So, in a moment of genius, I turned to France. Let me state that I speak French (I lived there for years as a child and it was one of my first spoken languages) but if YOU don’t, most of the websites that ship internationally have an EN (English) language option at the top of the page somewhere… and the few that don’t can be Google translated (God Bless Google).
So for any of you out there, tearing your hair out in frustration, let me encourage you to google the following words:
Grossesse - Pregnancy
Maternité - Maternity
Mode - Fashion (use with grossesse etc)
Enceinte - Pregnant
Maillot de bain - Swimming Costume
Jupe / Robe - Skirt / Dress
I could go on and on but use your Google translator if need be, to find the specifics you are searching for, or just browse around and you’ll learn new words as you go… shopping with a side of education!For anyone interested in the shots above:
