Back to school, and what to wear??

Back to school, and what to wear??
Over the summer it was easy to find clothes to wear since I never really had to look nice. Yoga pants and big jeans worked quite well. When I went to the back to school training days I realized that most of my clothes would no longer zip up or button! I started to rubber band the buttons so I could at least continue to wear them. I visited Kelly in late July and she sent me home with a ton of maternity clothes but they were mostly long-sleeved for winter. It was way too hot to be able to wear any of them. I gave in and finally went to buy some clothes. It was difficult to spend money on clothes for me that I would only wear for a short period of time. And we had a lot to buy for the baby that I didn't want to spend unnecessarily. I went to Motherhood and found a lot of summer clothes on sale. After wearing some of the new pants for a few days I realized it was well worth it. I felt so much more comfortable and wasn't worried about my buttons popping. Then later I went to a one year anniversary party for a Destination Maternity store and won a $100 gift certificate! I got some more clothes and even got a nice shirt to go out in that I never would have spent money on. Hopefully I won't have to buy anything else. As it gets cooler...and hopefully soon it will!...I will be able to wear a lot of the clothes Kelly gave me.
