We've had the invite for Adam's cousins wedding for months and I'm not gonna lie, for months I have been panicking about what I was going to wear, especially when I realised I would be 35 weeks pregnant!
The wedding was 96 miles from home however we decided that we weren't going stay over as I will be honest, I didn't want to be that far away from home for a long period of time and since we were going to be in the car for about 2 and a half hours I wanted something comfortable.
I knew I didn't want to spend a lot on an outfit, particularly so close to the end of my pregnancy when I knew I wouldn't get much wear out of it.
I ordered this dress from the Mothercare sale for a total bargain of £5 and loved it when it came - it looked perfect, was comfy - sorted.. however little miss had other ideas about it and thanks to a sudden growth spurt my lovely comfy dress although still fit was now not comfortable and defiantly not practical for sitting in the car for 2 and a half hours!
I then ordered a dress from the Dorothy Perkins sale - deciding to go up a size just in case however got an email from the 3 days after ordering it to say they had insufficient stock and had cancelled my order... queue pregnancy melt down and me threatening to go to the wedding in a bin bag :P
Id been through my wardrobe once and tried what I thought was all my suitable dresses on however I decided on Thursday to have another look at what I had knowing if all else fails I had a girly day with Mum and Nanna planned for Friday, the day before the wedding so would hunt something down.
To my surprise, not only did I find a suitable dress that had slipped off the coat hanger hiding at the back of my wardrobe but it fit!!! Yipee!
Dress: Evans - This dress is probably at least 10 years old (if not longer) as I am pretty sure I brought it when I worked there.. and I left in 2007 however this is a classic Evans style and they have lots of lovely similar dresses on their website here
Cardigan - TU @ Sainsbury's - Again this is a couple of years old however Wallis have something similar here
Tights - Mothercare - £12 (Pack of 2) - Avaliable here - Mothercare maternity tights are hands down the comfiest tights I have tried. They come right up over my bump and have a lovely panel at the front.
Shoes - Primark - £6 - I wanted something really comfy and dressy but without a heel. These pointed sling backs were the perfect combination of what I wanted. They had a few different colours in my local Primark but they don't have the details online. Matalan have something similar in white and blue here
Fascinator - Borrowed from my mum
Im so glad I chose something comfy as it took us ages to get home last night thanks to the snow!
