Girl's Gone Child: Substance + Style: Dani, 22 Weeks

I wanted to make this a weekly thing but it ended up being impossible so here we are two months later, past the half-way point and it's all very exciting around here and holy gorgeous pregnant woman, Batman.

Dress: Vintage via LA Rose

Sunglasses: vintage

GGC: DANNIIIIII. You look amazing and I want to kiss you. Tell me about the last two months? What has changed? How is your pregnancy progressing?

Dani: I look pregnant. That's the most obvious change! Everything is progressing on track. Just this last week I started feeling little pops. Went from nothing happening all the time. Kinda nuts! Curious what a solid kick will feel like.

GGC: Have you started preparing at all? Nesting? Naming?

Dani: Nesting in the sense that we are obsessively house hunting so we can actually start nesting. Names have been floating around! I don't always know what to say when friends ask to hear our ideas. Cause the real answer is "no way"! Maybe it's just a bit too early

GGC: What have you been wearing?

Dani: I've been wearing a lot of stretchy or at-least flowy vintage dresses cause they are fun and comfy! I just ordered maternity tights and leggings from h&m that I'll wear soon. I'm enjoying finding stuff that makes me feel good and feminine and that I can wear after the pregnancy too.

GGC: How (if at all) have you been preparing?

Dani: I recently talked to a few friends about their complicated traumatic labors and kinda started to freak out. It helped me decide I don't want go the route of reading a ton of books and knowing everything that could go wrong. It's just not for me. I prefer to trust my own instincts going forward and glad I made that re-realization.

GGC: Your baby is the size of a banana this week. How has that changed the way you look at bananas.

Dani: I think its actually a carrot or maybe a squash this week. Those vegetables they pick out are so random that I lose track. I just know she (oh ya I found out its a girl!) is almost a pound and 11 inches long!

GGC: Let's hear it for the baby girls! Let's hear it for the Dani!

Because it's Fall pretty much everywhere but Los Angeles. (October and September are our warmest months it seems) I picked some cute seemingly maternity-appropriate dresses that I can see Dani wearing.

Mary Meyer Black Aztec $152

long-sleeved striped maternity ASOS $35

Holly Tee Doux Ruffle $182

Vera T-Shirt Dress $50

And if your looking to layer with some cozy knitwear-action, here are some (non-maternity) sweaters that are adorable. (I have a huge crush on Pixie Market if you haven't noticed. Bona Drag, too.)
