Here's a fun fact about these outfit photos...originally when we took them (in 30 degree heat!) I had attempted to make this look a little more stylish by adding an off-white shirt and a pair of sandals which are becoming increasingly uncomfortable to wear the further I get into this pregnancy. Literally five seconds after taking the pictures I changed back into flip flops and ripped off the shirt as I was hot, sweaty and everything felt restrictive! When I looked at the photos afterwards I wasn't happy...you could tell just how uncomfortable I felt at the time and it just didn't sit right with me. Jonathan suggested we re-take them in what I was wearing here but I wasn't sure. Number one, there are stretch mark oil stains on my top...number two, flip flops aren't exactly "fashion blogger" material but nothing else fits my swollen feet in this heat! And finally number three, I'm fully aware of how basic this outfit is and I'm not sure it's worthy enough to be blogged...BUT as Jonathan reminded me this is the reality of what I'm wearing at 38 weeks pregnant. And I've only ever wanted my blog to be just that...real. So I'm sorry this isn't high fashion or probably inspirational in anyway but it's what I look like right now and I am too hot and too pregnant to throw on a pair of heels or change just to fit into a certain "look" that I may think is expected of a blogger. And to tell you the truth, these photos came out so much better than the other ones :) Stains, swollen feet and all!

Hahaha oh god there are a few!! :D But thank you that's very kind of you! :)
DeleteYes, what's in my bag would be super fun! But, you have a lot on your plate right now haha! Kisses from the US. I have 3 children, and I watch these when they're playing and I am down in our cool basement folding laundry for a quiet moment! XOXO hope you are feeling well!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much! Your basement sounds amazing...ours is damp and like a sauna. LOL! I will definitely do a what's in my bag soon :) xxx

Aww, thank you so much Kiki! <3 That is so sweet of you!
DeleteLooking amazing Anna ♥♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! <3
DeleteAnna. This post most definitely is inspirational because you're teaching us that we should wear what we want and do what we want. It doesn't matter if you are wearing these clothes that you are in the photos, if you want to wear them and you're more comfortable in these clothes then that is all that matters. Especially as you are heavily pregnant you need to be as comfortable as possible. So thank you for being an inspiration and wearing what YOU want. You make me smile Anna and that is why I love you and your family. You look stunning in these photos, I love your style basic or not you look beautiful in everything! Keep doing what you're doing. You're amazing!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much Catrina! <3 It's so hard to know what to wear when you're exhausted and pregnant and hot...lol!! I just end up reaching for the same thing over & over! xxx
DeleteSo beautiful Anna! Thanks for keeping it real - you're so gorgeous and you should be so proud of your body for growing your gorgeous babies. Every time I look in the mirror I see the flaws, but try to remind myself I grew a gorgeous little boy xxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rudi! <3
DeletePerfect! Absolutely perfect. I am all about being real and showing the imperfections in life, but that is what life is and what makes is beautiful! My youngest two kids are the same age as your oldest two (literally a month apart each!) so I have always felt connected to your journeys. I have four too, and though it can be crazy bananas, it is so worth it. I hope this next stage of life is so wonderful for you!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing!! And so encouraging coming from another mama of four, thank you so much! <3
DeleteI would love to see a What’s in my Bag video .I know they are old school but they are such fun to watch.Take care and much love to you x

Aww, thank you so much that is so kind of you! <3
DeleteYou look stunning as always Anna! I personally love your outfit and kudos to you for keeping it real. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :) <3
DeleteYou are such an inspiration to many people Anna! <3 You are by far my favourite Youtuber and blogger as you are the most relatable. I would love to meet you again one day, I had so much I wanted to say to you when I met you on the book tour but I felt too shy (I was the girl with the pink flowers in my hair) thanks for being real and inspirational. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how you’re always keeping it real, and how you have a positive impact on other women/girls. It takes some of the pressure off, when someone like you share the less perfect sides of life:) Also: you get more beautiful each year and with each pregnancy:)
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely glowing and look wonderful! I love those Nakd bars too- I didn't think I would like them but I was pleasantly surprised when I did try them:)

Ciao Anna, ti seguo dall'Italia! Sono napoletana, come il tuo papà è ti trovo assolutamente fantastica, naturale, vera e brillante. Bellissime queste foto, ha avuto ragione Jonathan! Spero tu riesca a leggere e a comprendere l'italiano senza problemi. Ti abbraccio dall'Italia :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is amazing Anna!!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome Anna! I totally miss having a baby belly! My daughter Sofia actually shares Emilias birthday and i remember being pregnant in those hot summer days ....ugh .....but my son Antonio was born in January so i got to enjoy a fall/winter pregnancy the second time around!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing for 38 weeks pregnant! I'm 33 weeks right now and can only wear flip flops and half my maternity clothes are too small. You are rocking' it!
