Outfit Details For reference, I am 5ft/152.5cm and wear size US small/2-4 in tops, jackets, and blazers, and size US 26 or US 2 in bottoms. This post contains some affiliate links. Blouse: MOTF by Shein (size S; alternatives below). Blazer: Zara (size XS – sold out; similar below). Pants: Lululemon (size 4 – sold out; similar below). Thoughts: I wore this outfit for a friend’s birthday dinner at a formal restaurant. I wore my Lululemon pants as I still couldn’t fit my jeans post-partum and I didn’t have any trousers then. Please swap out the Lululemon for jeans or trousers for a cleaner look! Shop the Look!
Ah, the year I spent mostly being pregnant! I debated writing up a fashion diary for 2023 since I lived in 5 pieces of maternity clothes and, towards the end, in Dan’s sweatpants and t-shirts, but I didn’t want to skip out on a year of fashion. When it soon became clear that I no longer fit my usual clothes, I did a bit of shopping for maternity clothes. I knew I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a temporary wardrobe so I opted to do some thrifting (which is really a hit or miss) and shopping on Shein. I committed myself to stop shopping at Shein but knew I needed to save as much money as possible…
In 2022, I put a lot more effort into fashion and trying to find my style. After leaving very casual workplaces (literally no dress codes) and coming out of the pandemic, I found it fun to dress up! I work in the games industry and it’s a very casual environment so more often than not, my “business casual” is still more dressed up than the rest of the team. Here’s a roundup of all my captured 2022 outfits! Once my maternity leave ends, I need to make a note to document more! 2021 NYE: February 2022: March 2022: April 2022: May 2022: June 2022: July 2022: August 2022: September 2022: October 2022: November 2022: December 2022: Thoughts? I’m almost embarrassed…
