BELLY IN THE SUN vol.2

I was actually lying, or, not being totally straight when I said I would not succumb to leggings and tunics. Those fugly tunics they have at the 'mama' departements yes, but leggings I have in fact been having great plans for long before my belly started growing. (I had to get myself my first pair of mama leggings and tights before the bump started pouting as all my other leg wear were digging and pressing right in my tummy and it felt unbearable but anyway;) I've been waiting (or, waiting and waiting, sort of at least) for a more pregnant belly and warmer weather to be able to an outfit like this:

The thing with leggings are that I would never wear them under normal conditions. Like this; in this way. In winter I often have leggings with knee highs instead of stockings under skirts when it's too cold for anything else and I have them at work all the time under my work wear. But I wouldn't go out in them alone, med rumpan bar so to say (although my hot baby blue sausage pants are pretty close...). Maybe, if they came in a material thick enough and I would able to pull such off comfortably - you see; my legs are not what they used to be like back in the savate days, they have developed some strange (yeah, "strange", haha)  squish around themselves and my bootah has oddly, hmmm,  descended some centimeters during the past two years.  Age does not come alone as it is said in Finnish. Although this nothing a little, just a little less chocolate and a little more work out wouldn't fix, really. (Don't get me wrong; a milkshake a day is still alright would I have the time to go to the gym a little more often than twice a month you see. And I eat healthy but quite a lot and combine it with chocolate. Mmmm...)

Well now some of you will all tell me not to say like this or that but mind you, I do pose in the most favorable angles for photos and I justs could work out a bit more nowadays, it is true. It is about the way you feel about yourself more than you look. And it has bothered me the past years that I have not had the the chance to work out properly.

But anyway none of that matters here as the point of this post actually being the following:  now that I'm pregnant it feels totally alright to go out in however tight Peggy Bundy leggings I may find! Extra fluff or extra kilos elsewhere than on a growing belly do not feel the same when the bumb is around. Quite liberating.

The leggings are H&M Mama, shortened into capri lengts, wedges H&M and blouse American Apparel in case you were wondering.

PRIMARY COLORS

BELLY IN THE SUN vol.1

Low fair airlines may (except for the fact that they actually are  low fair and you save a great deal) suck, as it seems the first thing they cut back on are smiles and politeness from the crew, but -  they do have WiFi so I am not going to complain; it is not every day that one gets to blog from a height of 10,000 meters with a red sunset behind and the continent beneath. Not that it really is that much of an experience or big deal now what you think about it, I'm almost getting nauseous and I'd rather be blogging from, well, I don't know - at home (or work in between ships as that means my pay would be running at the same time, hah!... I doubt my bosses read this...) but anyway, there I got to say it: I'm blogging from the sky.

Well, the sun has set and I'm on my way back to the cold, but I got to spend a week in it; the sunshine, which was rather nice.  Very nice actually. Dressing up is a whole not nicer when you can do it in just one or two layers, not twenty. I took a bunch of outfit photos to be blogged about but as I was without the internet for a whole week (!!! Well, once I did drag my computer along and got myself an ice cream at a wifi café´ just to get online and I did read my emails rough my phone every now and then even though the roaming costs almost will end me up with a phone bill much as new low fair airplane ticket I guess, pathetic) I wasn't able to post any. But here you go from now on instead, me & my little belly in the sun, the first version:

The dress is just from a tourist stand, I liked the fabric and as the dress is pretty roomy so it will fit me all they way trough the months to come I think. (OR should we say the later months, it's not like you'll be seeing me like this anytime soon again;  it's mega winter going on at my flight's destination.)  I have plans to alter the dress a bit and add capped sleeves to it and a lot more blah blah as the model is pretty useless elsewhere than on the beach even in warmer weather... well, we'll see, the pile of clohtes to be mended or altered is not a tiny one...

FOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW: IN THE SUN

(While interior magazines pile up at home I tend to avoid fashion magazines as they seem to awaken some deep sense of irritation in me. However,  here I actually bought myself one of those because I liked the cover.

Haha, I run a "fashion" labelled blog and just excused myself for reading Vogue? )

Also, I managed to find wifi here, and, ti's Friday, which means the Black Wardrobe's Ginger pinup and cat giveaway is over! And the lucky winner was Monica!
