With some too-good-to-past-up-sale here as of late I've added to my springtime wardrobe with the hopes that Spring will eventual make it's way to Pittsburgh. The forecast is looking good for the rest of this week!
I had two main edicts guiding me in the following purchases. 1. Non-Maternity pieces that I could wear now in my 3rd trimester. 2 Potential garments for my return to work in the fall when my body will be in "flux".

First up, a few pieces from H&M
Olives and military greens are always a favorite of mine for early spring and transitional seasons in general. Loving the longer length of this tunic, which can be worn with maternity leggings now, and trousers in a six months time.
Speaking of trousers, hello pull-on pants! I'm a big advocate of pull-on pants for the post-baby body. I have at least half-a-dozen pairs from Uniqlo and wanted to see how the H&M version holds up. This dark brown pair COULD work now here for the office, but I feel these will be on-hold until the fall.
And, of course stripes! An oversized red & navy long-sleeved jersey top to just throw on with maternity jeans now, and shorts or whatever over the summer for some coverage, while being baggy enough for breastfeeding--a functional purchase in my go-to print.
This lavender cardi is a nod to Patone's Color of the Year--Ultra Violet. It's a bit cropped, which is a silhouette I tend to avoid, but it's also super-soft knit and pretty and may just become an around-the-house cover-up.
I also picked up a couple of items from Uniqlo
I kept the lavender theme going with this blocky(in a good way), short-sleeved button-down. A fresh-feeling work piece, that could also go with a polished-casual ensemble paired with jeans, or even these shorts--
Black, easy-to-wear pocketed shorts are going to be a go-to this summer, for around the house, as well as out and about (especially paired with more of a shirt versus a tee). Another functional staple for the coming season.
And over at Carter's were a few things for Miss Charlotte
Cute, cute, cute all around! Those black striped jersey shorts are actually from H&M, but everything here is bright, functional, and fun for a 2-year-old about to be a big sister here this summer. I would actually love an adult version of that tank and jeans, right?
