Wardrobe | Maternity Style - 11 Weeks
You guys! I woke up a couple of days ago to find that baby-growing bloat hadn't gone away overnight, like it usually does. Is eleven weeks to early to be showing? It seems like it to me. But whatever. I'm rolling with it. Today I headed to the thrift store to buy some stretchy skirts, since most of the ones in my wardrobe are practically suffocating me these days, but it's still far too early to be wearing actual maternity clothes (which I've been squirreling away for the past year!). It's kind of exciting, but also pretty daunting knowing how much my body is going to be changing. Phil thinks it's cute, but I'm so ready for this bump to look more like a baby than a PBR gut. Come on baby, grow, grow!
O U T F I T D E T A I L S :
sweater: thrifted | skirt: thrifted | scarf: hand-me-down | shoes: ASOS | socks: ASOS
Not too early at all. My boss was showing at about 9 weeks and having to hide it with strategic scarf placement. So excited for you! Can't believe it's 11 weeks already!

11 weeks is perfect to start showing. I have a picture of me looking like this at 11 weeks with my first!!! I always got upset when I saw my pregnant friends looking like they weren't pregnant at 11 weeks but you look exactly as I did (but warning, I had a 10 pound baby, and hopefully you won't have that issue). you're soooo adorable!!!!!!!!

Hello! I'm a new reader of your blog, and I must say your style is inspiring! Excited to see your twist on maternity style :)
Congratulations!

You look so cute already! I am nowhere near becoming a mom but I can't wait to see your maternity style!
Posted by: Erin | February 29, 2012 at 03:49 PM
You look so adorable! I cant wait to see how you dress your pregnancy :) I remember when I was pregnant I'd be jealous of the ladies with the obvious bellies...you really want it to show when you're expecting and not just look like you've put on a few! haha. Enjoy the 'little and cute' phase while you can though. Every stage has its fun part!

I was totally showing at eleven weeks so I say it's just fine. :) You look absolutely beautiful!!
Posted by: julie | February 29, 2012 at 04:20 PM
You look amazing! I didn't start showing till I was 18 weeks with my first baby! Its def a weird stage before you are 'obviously' pregnant.

you are so adorable! I love your cute little belly!
Posted by: Robin | February 29, 2012 at 04:25 PM
So cute! I started showing at 8 wks with my first...and then 6 with my second! Just enjoy it...it's the only time in life that people think you look cute with a belly! Ha! So happy for you:)
Posted by: Melissa | February 29, 2012 at 04:28 PM
Looking good! And I must admit, I snorted at the phrase "PBR gut." Good to make light of things a bit, though I know the changes to your body must be a little weird getting used to!
Posted by: Gillian | February 29, 2012 at 04:32 PM
I started showing at about 12 weeks, and I had a ten pound baby too! Enjoy it! It's a special time in your life (and the last time you will ever be alone again.
Posted by: Chandra | February 29, 2012 at 04:37 PM

Adorable, and not PBR-gut-ey at all. Also, your scarf is amazing, and I'm super jealous.

EEeee! Mandi I'm so excited for you. I'm so very thankful that you guys were able to get pregnant again soon after the miscarriage. I know that must have been so very hard on the heart and may still hurt sometimes. But what a blessing now to have a little one growing inside of you. Maybe you are showing early because your kiddo wants to say, "Look Momma! I'm here!" I'm so very happy for you.

Yay! You are just a little over a week more preggo than my sister. (Who is a skinny minny and already showing too...as the chunky sister, I enjoy that so much!) I am so happy to know of two awesome people that are closely preggers!

What a beautiful bump! Usually the thinner a person is the earlier they start to show. Take it as a compliment.

Yah hoo! Grow little baby! I'm SO excited for you Mandy! I know nothing about when you're supposed to start showing (or babies in general), but I can't wait to see your maternity style and hear more about your experiences in the coming months (if you choose to share, that is). xo

You're just a bit further along than I am. I hit 11 weeks, 2 days today :) Hoping my baby comes a little late in early October because October is my favorite.
