We’re already midway through week two of the Fall Style Me Challenge and I’m sharing days 3 through 9. Still loving getting dressed for work in less than five minutes because someone else is telling me what to wear.
I have fallen for buffalo plaid big time this fall. When I put this shirt on though it was a little too red for my comfort zone. To neutralize, I added a gray tank and a black scarf with small gold stars. Prior to the challenges, I never would have gone gray since there isn’t gray in the shirt. I’ve learned though that complimenting can be more visually interesting than matching. I probably wouldn’t have done a patterned scarf with plaid either, even though this one is quite basic.
Today was fancy sweatshirt day, but I didn’t pick up a fancy sweatshirt. (Seems less flattering on a maternity figure and doesn’t seem very conducive to nursing so would have been a rather short lived item.) Instead, I pulled out a few items from the spring challenge and topped them with a camel jacket from last year and a fancy necklace. I love that I’m building a wardrobe that can be leveraged year round.
Days 5, 6, and 7 corresponded with my school days and I don’t have extra close up photos for any of these days. Typically I would have skipped the challenge and gone with yoga pants, which are actually a better fit for our school days. However, I haven’t purchased any maternity workout gear and my collection of lululemon is starting to get a little too tight for a full day of wear. I swapped shoes on most days to be more classroom appropriate, otherwise the challenge worked just fine. Love that you can dress each daily outfit template up or down.
Easy outfit for a rainy Monday. Since there isn’t a lot of detail here, I thought I’d share my arm decor. I picked up the watch on sale this summer and I love it. It goes with pretty much everything and the little pop of pink is fun. Greg surprised me with the new bangles as a gift for finishing school. I was so not expecting anything and am just grateful that we worked together to make the last nine months feasible. But new jewelry is always appreciated. 🙂
This might be my favorite outfit so far. It’s really simple but I received many compliments at work and felt like this would be something I would have worn pre-pregnancy, compared to my very casual maternity wardrobe. This might end up being my go-to date night / dinner out outfit for the rest of the pregnancy. I couldn’t resist a pop of color with my scarf once I realized it is actually getting a little chilly in the mornings now.

I love how you belt your baby belly. Cutest ever. I like the last outfit best. Love seeing how you work the challenge around being pregnant. You look great!

I like the blue cardigan look! And the pink necklace as well!

Sooo cute you look!! Totally LOVE the buffalo check and gingham button downs!! I’ve been on the hunt for them!!!!
Buffalo check is old navy and gingham is gap – I get so much use out of that one year round!
You look so great in all the outfits! I love the buffalo check shirt too, and all your scarves are so pretty!
Thank you! I love scarves as an inexpensive way to make a bunch of different outfits and try trends.

That buffalo plaid is killer!!!!!!!!! I must find some.
It’s so much fun! I’m loving it.
That buffalo plaid is AWESOME!
oh my gosh, how cute are you? I love your military jacket and how you styled day 8, so far that has been my favorite day too. And the last outfit, super cute on you. I always tried to do the belt thing when I was pregnant, but it just looked funny on me. Looks great on you!
Thank you – I feel like with pregnancy you can take a few risks because you already have a giant ball sticking out. Nothing looks ‘normal’ 😉
so so cute! I used to wear belts like that when I was pregnant too, loved them! I’m also totally loving all of your scarves!!! You’re rocking this pregnancy fashion business!
thank you!
Love all your outfits, Beth! You have such a great classic, casual style. I just love how you style your outfits each week.
