Maternity clothes.

I'm not really buying anymore maternity clothes, but I was browsing Topshop online and noticed their maternity range.. One word. Ew. Before I got pregnant Topshop had the nicest maternity clothes, like they were better than the normal clothes. But now most of them are absolutely disgusting! I suppose it's a good thing, because otherwise I'd spend all my money on them, ha ha! But ugh, gross.


So I haven't really bought much maternity stuff. People have been asking what I have bought and what I wear, etc, so I guess I'll just give a little list on here of everything..

What I've Bought;
- Maternity black trousers (I had to wear them to work for a while because of an inspection taking place).
- One pair of maternity leggings, long. (definately in need of a new pair!)
- Pink maternity top, short sleeved.
- White maternity blouse (again, had to wear to work because of the inspection).
- Bigger sized knickers (cheap ones, not maternity).
- Two bigger sized night gowns.
- Pink and black maternity top, long sleeved.
- Blue maternity vest top.
I think that's it. Not really sure because obviously I don't have my wardrobe in front of me, but if there's anything else I'll be sure to add it.

What I Already Had;
- Two pairs of 3/4 leggings.
- Two long, baggy tops. Short sleeved.
- Blue vest top, white vest top, striped vest top.
- A few pairs of pajamas which still fit. (Most of them are barely fitting now, but they fit me for the most of my pregnancy.)
Again, I think that's it but if there's anything else that I wear then I'll add them later on.

Suggestions;
- Definately buy a pair or two of maternity leggings! I basically live in mine. I regret only buying one pair as I haven't been able to find some more and I've worn my ones thin. They're so comfy, and I've been told by my friend who recently had a baby that I'll be wearing them a lot after Lilia's born too! So I definately suggest leggings in a bigger size or maternity ones!
- Baggy tops. Normal sized tops started to pull on my skin and were uncomfortable as I got bigger. I did buy some maternity tops/had some bought for me, but honestly the best thing I found was baggy tops. I didn't buy any because I already had plenty, but baggy tops are better than maternity tops in my opinion. I prefer baggy tops because they can be quite fashionable and suit your age group, I found that most maternity tops tended to suit women of an older age than me since I'm still a teen. I also think that maternity tops have a certain style where it's clear that they are maternity tops. Like, the front of the tops are quite baggy and you can tell they're made to be filled with a bump. So because of that I think that maternity tops can't be worn whenever. But if you buy baggy tops you can wear them after you have the baby as well. They're good for hiding baby fat ;) but if you don't want them to be baggy, then accessorize them with a belt or something :) Another good suggestion in my opinion! Ha ha :)

Hope this helped some of you!
