Work OOTD | Ft. Boohoo

Boohoo, Maternity, OOTD, Fashion, Work, WIWTW
I’ve been quite fortunate that I’ve not put much weight on, so the majority of my wardrobe still fits me (well most of my trousers don’t, except for my favourite Mango tailored trousers which are surprisingly a size 8). But recently, for comfort and because I am getting (slightly) bigger, I have bought some mat clothes for work. My dresses are comfortable and fit fine, but my trousers and skirts leave me feeling like I need to constantly get up and move. I need something stretchy.

I always buy my basics from Boohoo: maxi dresses, casual tops, those items you don’t mind buying cheap, because it’s not the end of the world if you only wear them a handful of times. But I’ve found their mat range to be amazing! Everything is so reasonably priced and it’s not all spots/stripes/florals! And it helps that there are always discount codes on offer – I refuse to spend loads of money on mat clothes.

I bought these gingham trousers because I just thought they looked so cute – and they are, as well as being super comfy. The waistband offers support to my bump and doesn’t dig in. To be honest, I will probably continue to wear these after the little’un is here, as they don’t look that different from regular trousers. The material is light and breathable, making them perfect for this time of year, where the weather is so unpredictable. They washed really well, retaining their elasticity and the overall quality is good.

For work, I teamed them up with a basic long-sleeved top from New Look and my favourite black sandals (my feet haven’t swollen at all... yet!). But I already know I’ll be wearing the trousers to travel in while we’re away. Although it’s a short flight, I need to keep cool and comfortable – plus when we arrive, we will be spending a couple of hours in the car, too.

I’d been feeling really rubbish recently – about my body, tiredness and lack of energy – it’s a continuous struggle to spend time in the mornings getting ready and looking half-decent. I’ve tried to pick my outfits to compensate for the fact I’ve been wearing less makeup. But I felt really good the morning I put this outfit together and it really helped to hear compliments from my colleagues, which made me want to post the OOTD on Instagram!
