Jeans – Skirt The Rules | NYC Style Blogger http://skirttherulesblog.com NYC Style Blogger Wed, 03 Mar 2021 04:30:11 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 My First Foray into Maternity Jeans http://skirttherulesblog.com/2021/02/15/my-first-foray-into-maternity-jeans/ http://skirttherulesblog.com/2021/02/15/my-first-foray-into-maternity-jeans/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 http://skirttherulesblog.com/?p=20343

I now own three pairs of maternity jeans and this is my favorite pair so far!

Gray wrap sweater (S) / White maternity skinny jeans (XS – c/o Motherhood Maternity) / White leopard knotted headband / Black tote bag with zipper / Black and beige cap toe flats (6.5 TTS – c/o Ann Taylor)

I remember the day clearly: I was about 18 weeks pregnant in mid-December when I finally could no longer zip up my favorite pre-pregnancy jeans. I hadn’t yet purchased maternity jeans or leggings, and even my beloved black high-waisted leggings were starting to feel a little tight around the waist. I spent the rest of the holiday season in sweatpants.

It wasn’t long before I fell in love with maternity leggings (they’re so soft and comfy that I might not ever switch back). But I also want to be able to look a little more put together from time to time and since it’s still a little early for bare legs in NYC, I needed to get my hands on some equally comfy maternity jeans.

I’ve tried a few pair on and these white skinny jeans from Motherhood Maternity are by far my favorite! They are stretchy enough that I can move around with ease (and even squat down – not that I’m doing a booty workout in them!). As suggested, I went with my pre-pregnancy size of XS. I’m 5’2″, so the length was a bit long and I ended up trimming about two inches off myself for a raw unfinished hem look.

Instead of the normal zipper/button front-fly on normal jeans, maternity jeans are held up by a giant, stretchy band that covers your entire belly. Not the most glamorous look, but when layered on a tunic-length top like this cozy wrap sweater, you can actually look cute and feel comfy. For reference, I was 25 weeks pregnant in these photos and I highly recommend!

Turtleneck season is here!

Taupe Turtleneck Sweater (XS) / Quilted Cream Bag with Gold Chain / High Rise Dark Wash Skinny Jeans (26S) / Similar Leopard Flats / Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in ‘Pillow Talk’

I’ve been stocking up on a lot of neutral turtleneck sweaters this season, and this one might be my favorite yet. I love the subtleness of the taupe and the fact that the turtleneck isn’t too much (sometimes I feel strangled by really chunky or high necklines). It comes in a few colors – this is the ‘beige’ shade online and I also have it in ‘cafe au lait,’ which is more of a tan. Both are beautiful neutrals and I plan on wearing them all winter long.

I loved this sweater blazer so much that I bought it twice.

Grey Sweater Blazer (XXS) / White Mesh Cami (XS) / Similar High Waisted Skinny Jeans / Leopard Clutch / Brown Pointed Loafers (6.5 TTS) / Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in ‘Pillow Talk’

Over the years, my style has gone from colorful and trendy to more neutral classics. Enter this sweater blazer, which I originally purchased in beige. It’s literally the best of both worlds: polished and put together, but so so comfy. Perfect for weekends or work from home days, but professional enough for work. It’s currently on sale for $60 today only for Cyber Monday. FYI, it runs a bit oversized, so I sized down to an XXS for a more fitted look.
