Winter style – pregnancy edition!

Needless to say I have had to buy some new clothes this year. Right from the beginning of my pregnancy, however, I wanted to buy clothes that would also fit me after pregnancy. And I think I have done a pretty good job at finding classic pieces that are comfortable, elastic – but stylish.

Here are some of the clothes I have bought to fit my bump throughout fall and winter.

I also have a discount for *Bubbleroom that’s valid until the end of this month: CHARLO for -10% off.

Pregnant winter/fall style

Wrap wool-blend coat

This wrap wool coat fits the bump better than something with buttons. I love the classic color and style of this! I can see myself pushing strollers and drinking lattes (I hear babies make you tired) in the city in it. However, I have to say, because you only lightly wrap it shut, it’s not as warm as a jacket with a zipper, for example. Luckily I also got a warmer maternity coat from a friend.

Ralph Lauren Wool-Blend Wrap Coat

Long merino wool knit wrap

I love merino wool. It’s warm, breathable and doesn’t tickle. Pierre Robert is my go to brand for beautiful merino wool clothes and this long knit I also got from them. It fits the bump beautifully and can be worn with just leggings and some t-shirt.

This top and knit are also from Pierre Robert. The photos were taken about a month apart. The bump has grown quite a bit, heh.

Turtleneck knit vest

I’ve also worn nu-in’s sleeveless turtleneck a lot throughout this pregnancy. Since it’s a vest, I was able to wear it already at the end of summer. The long style of it makes it great with leggings.

Sidenote: maternity leggings are a must! I wear them all day every day. I have ones from asos and Noppies.

For the Bubbleroom items, remember to use the code CHARLO for -10% off.

Beige knit dress

I adore this long knit dress from Bubbleroom. It fits the bump so nicely – while also looking really good without it (check the link to see the model wear it). The material of this feels super soft and good. This dress is something I’ve been looking for for a long time! Comfy and stylish, if I do say so myself.

*Amira Knitted Dress

All black outfit

I think this black cotton shirt with buttons looks so cute with the bump. The pants I have bought from Zalando and they have been one of the best things I’ve bought, along with the maternity leggings. The sizing runs a bit small, I have size 38, but now that my bump is growing rapidly, I think I could wear 40.

Red elastic dress

I love red and not just for Christmas. This red dress from Bubbleroom is really comfortable and pretty!
My tights are from Lindex. If you didn’t yet know, I love Lindex. Basically all my bras are from them. They have comfortable yet pretty ones for pregnancy (and also nursing bras).

Festive top

There come a time when you need festive clothes, but you can’t fit into any of your party dresses. This top is for those occasions. I can pair it with the black pants and some knit and call it a day. This blue (or lavender?) high neck top is beautiful! It fits the bump nicely – again – thanks to the wrap/ribbon style of it, because you can choose how high you want to tie it.

So there’s a peek into my pregnancy winter style. I have to say, it hasn’t been easy to find good maternity wear. You kind of don’t want to spend a lot of money, but then again, material also matters. Based on my experience I would recommend:

Zalando, which has a big maternity wear selection & easy return.
*Pierre Robert & nu-in especially for knits.
*Lindex for underwear and loungewear.

And even though *Bubbleroom doesn’t have a maternity section, you can make great finds from them or other similar stores. Just pay attention to the material (all the clothes in this post are either cotton or viscose, except the top) and the fit of the clothing. Usually clothes that are elastic or can be wrapped are great for pregnancy also, even though they’re not advertised as such.

What is your favorite look?

I know february is the month we get to see sun again, yet I always forget how amazing it feels. This year we’ve gotten a lot of snow too, so it’s extra bright. And nice.

The best sounds outside are my shoes scrunching against the snow. (Mom said that as an adult you no longer notice these things – but I do – I especially notice those things.)
My favorite colors are the golden grasses against the pale blue shadows on the snow.

Once again I’m training for a half marathon and I’m running about three times per week. That’s been challenging to my toes – they don’t appreciate the cold. But I notice my mind already imagining the green buds on the trees and dry road under my feet, so it doesn’t feel that cold (except on my way back – somehow the wind on the shore seems to double).

One day I have this terror of running the distance with my heart beating way too fast for way too long – and on another day I have a peace of mind knowing I can do it, I’ve done it (way too) many times before. I love running. But running half marathons? It’s a trap. One where I’m willing to put myself in, because it’s good to challenge yourself. My mind is racing constantly. So only wise to try and catch up.

I’ve tried meditating, just recently. I’m not too sure about it, but making a bit more room for my thoughts seems like a good thing. Though I think yoga and painting might work even better for me.

I have watched almost every episode of Superstore on Netflix. There’s only so much crime you can solve, before you need some easygoing comedy in your life. Hence: superstore.

I wrote a poem.

My favorite outfit right now is the merino wool lounge wear set from *Pierre Robert. If we’re looking for positives in the worldwide pandemic, it’s appreciating comfortable clothes. This particular set I could wear to different occasions though, depending on how I style and pair it. This set was a gift. From myself. To myself. Best thing about adulthood? You deserve gifts. (Though I’m trying to tell myself I don’t necessarily need it in all the other colors. Plus the other lovely *Jenny Skavlan clothes.)

What else, what else.

When the real world seems disappointing, I go to Hogwarts. In other words, I decided to read the Harry Potters again. (I’m also gonna watch the movies, unfortunately.) I’m already on my third book. I missed reading books. Now that I’m back at it, it’s fantastic. I used to list in my hobbies “reading”, but then social media happened. I’ve always read, but not as much as I wanted.

If you know of a book series that is as good as Harry Potters, I’m all ears. Skeptical, but open to suggestions.

The surface of our new coffee table is so beautiful, I’d like to pet it all the time.
I can see a million little paths in the snow through my window, that I would like to wander (but so far I’ve settled to staring at them in between writing).
I have some careful plans in my calendar and just having them there makes me smile. Whatever happened.

So I guess above all else, I’m hopeful. Better. I’m actually feeling optimistic about future. Is it the sunshine? Is it the year? Is it the good things happening for me work-wise? I don’t know. But I’ll welcome it with open arms.

How are you?
