first trimester maternity capsule wardrobe

Last time I was pregnant, I wore all of my non-maternity jeans into the second trimester. I credit that to it being my first pregnancy and to the high waistedness of all my jeans. This time around is not the same (shocker, I know). Pretty early on in the first trimester, I realized almost all of my jeans were fitting incredibly snug. I had to say “see ya later” to some of my favorite jeans, including my summer jean and my button front jeans. Basically, I was forced into creating a mini maternity capsule wardrobe.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a capsule wardrobe post but this has been at the front of my mind lately (since I have to get dressed every day). I desperately wanted to share this kind of stuff last time I was pregnant but I was never organized enough to really document it. Anyway, second time’s the charm! Here’s what I wore during the first trimester.

what i wore + what we did: socal

We've been back from our weekend in Southern California for a while and I keep thinking about nice it was to get out of town. I work most weekends (when Brandon is off) so we haven't gotten a chance to travel in a while and it was nice to have a change of scenery and weather! Plus we got to witness friends get married, which is always fun.

We were able to sneak in a little bit of sightseeing in between Brandon's wedding party duties. Here are some highlights of what we did and what I wore from my minimal packing list.
