I’m heart eyes for everything I recently ordered from LOFT!

For sizing reference, I’m 5’2″ and normally a 32A and 26″ waist, but I’m 25 weeks pregnant in these photos and the bump is growing!

Polka dot midi dress (SP) / Blush quilted crossbody bag / Burgundy knotted headband ($10 for a pack of 10 colors) / Black and beige cap toe flats (6.5 TTS)

I’ve already shared this darling dress on the blog and on Instagram, and it’s probably my favorite piece from this haul. The print is darling and the red and navy color combo is timeless. I also appreciate a non-maternity dress that is still bump friendly, because that means I’ll get more bang for my buck later down the road. I’d say this dress is TTS, but I sized up to a small petite just to make sure I had extra room for the growing bump. I love the volume in the sleeves, the gold button detail and how it moves beautifully!

Cream waffle knit henley (S) / Heart print midi skirt (S) / Burgundy knotted headband ($10 for a pack of 10 colors) / Chloe mini Marcie gray crossbody bag / Similar leopard flats

Even though Valentine’s Day is over, I love this heart-print midi skirt for spring. The print and the colors are sure to brighten your spirits, and the elastic waistband makes it easy to pull the skirt on. Again, I sized up from my normal XS to a S for the bump, but I’d say this dress is true to size.

If you’re looking for something a little more timeless, this cream waffle henley might be right up your alley. I love the texture of the fabric and think it would pair well with skirts, jeans and shorts.

Striped ‘love’ long sleeve t-shirt (XS maternity, but also comes in non-maternity sizing!) / Maternity skinny jeans (26) / Burgundy knotted headband ($10 for a pack of 10 colors) / Chloe mini Marcie gray crossbody bag / Similar leopard flats

I’m a sucker for striped tees and graphic tees, and this ‘love’ long sleeve top is the best of both worlds. I’m actually wearing the XS maternity fit here, which I think is already sold out – but non-maternity sizes are still in stock.

Heart print sweatshirt (XS) / Heart print sweatpants (SP) / Similar fuzzy slippers

If dressing up for the outside world isn’t your thing these days, then this heart print sweatshirt and matching sweatpants might be for you. And let’s be real, sweatsuits are the new business suit. This set is quite comfy, but the real start of the show is the multi-colored heart print. I don’t see petite-friendly jogger pants very often, but this one is perfect for any one who’s 5’2″ like me!

Heart print t-shirt (S) / Light gray jogger pants (XS – wish I had sized up for the bump though!) / Gold circle mirror / Striped accent cabinet

And a little bonus photo for you: this pink heart-print t-shirt had my heart fluttering when I first saw it. Hard to tell in this photo, but it does have a slightly boxier fit, but I still managed to knot it at the front, which is my go-to move with t-shirts!

Reviewing a recent haul of maternity friendly styles from Amazon!

Amazon Puffer Jacket (XS) / White Maternity Cami (XS) / Black Maternity Fleece Lined Leggings (one size) / Veja V-10 Sneakers (6.5 TTS)

I finally took the plunge on the Amazon puffer jacket. This bad boy has 4.5 stars from more than 15,000, and I promise you it does not disappoint! I’ve been on the hunt for a light neutral colored puffer jacket and at $150, I won’t be as devastated if it gets a little dirty. I’ve been wearing it nonstop since I got it and am happy to report that it has kept me warm even in the frigid NYC winter. This jacket has so many pockets, plus side zippers to expand the body for extra layers (or a growing bump!).

Dark Wash Denim Jacket (XS) / White Long Sleeve T-Shirt with Twist Front (S) / Black Maternity Fleece Lined Leggings (one size) / Chloe Mini Marcie Gray Crossbody Bag / Marc Fisher Oshay Brown Suede Ankle Booties (size up 1/2 size)

This is a pretty basic outfit, but since I’m wearing maternity leggings and pants now, I need longer tunic-length tops (pre-pregnancy, I usually tucked my tops into my jeans). I like this long sleeve tee because the twist front hem adds a bit of visual interest and is easy to layer underneath a denim jacket. It’s non-maternity, but has a relaxed fit which accommodates the bump perfectly!

White Turtleneck Tunic Sweater (XS – runs very oversized!) / Black Maternity Fleece Lined Leggings (one size) / Beige Knotted Headband ($10 for a pack of 10 colors!) / Chloe Mini Marcie Gray Crossbody Bag / Similar Leopard Flats

This turtleneck sweater is another non-maternity style that is perfect for growing bumps (I’m trying to get more bang for my buck in my postpartum wardrobe!). It runs very oversized and it super cozy, but not too thick. It comes in ton of different colors too!

White Sports Bra (sized up one size) / Maternity Workout Leggings (XS)

Funny enough, these leggings are actually the only maternity-specific article of clothing of the haul! They’re the only pair I’ve purchased so far, so I don’t have much to compare, but they do remind me of my all-time favorite non-maternity workout leggings because of the high waist and the side pockets.

The only difference is that the fabric is thinner and stretchier to accommodate the growing bump and since I’m more on the petite size, there is a bit of extra fabric but not a deal breaker! I’ve done spin classes (at home on my new exercise bike), yoga and strength training in them and so far, so good!
