As my belly gets bigger the options in my closet are getting smaller. It’s pretty slim pickings at this point. Now that I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy I really don’t want to buy any new maternity clothes, but I’m also not as prepared as I should have been for this cold Wisconsin weather.
Time to get creative!
I spotted this sweater dress and realized that if I wore it open it would make the perfect maternity cardigan/sweater coat! It is so warm and cozy and the short sleeves keep me from getting too warm. This is officially my new favorite item in my wardrobe!

What a great solution and an absolutely adorable outfit! You look great!
works perfectly!
I can’t believe you are nearing the end now. Crazy how time flies.
You look adorable!! What a great solution to wearing something you love later in your pregnancy!
Hi D, I can completely relate. I have two weeks left and we are just starting to get into the chilly temps here in Cleveland. At this point, I refuse to buy anymore maternity clothes. Love the sweater!!

You look so cozy! You just reminded me, I bought one for family photos from H&M not long ago. I should get it out of the closet.
That looks so cozy, and once the baby pops out, you’ll have a cute dress for the rest of the winter!

Very cute!!!!
You never cease to amaze me with your exceptional wardrobe and amazing creativity!
I’m stock piling all of these ideas for when I’m pregnant – you’re adorable!
Adorable!!!
I love it, you looks super cute!
Cozy and cute. You look so happy!

Do you have any baby consignment stores near you? When I was pregnant with my son I scored tons of maternity clothes there for next to nothing. Or maybe put out a Craigslist ad – most women are super eager to get rid of the maternity stuff they have lying around.
You look fabulous!
That’s such a great idea! I just saw sweater dresses like that on sale at TJMaxx… I think I might have to make a quick shopping stop on my way home from work today!
Great idea! And the beauty of it is that you’ll still have this as a non maternity item afterwards when you can wear it as a dress. Lovely! S.
So adorable!!
Love it! You look beautiful as always. XO, Merry
Very nice!
Not much longer! Is the diaper bag and hospital bag packed?
Thanks everyone!
@Rebecca–Oh my goodness, isn’t that the truth!
@Karen–Only two weeks left? Wow! Good luck and best wishes to you. So exciting!!
@Kelly Williams–You’re too good to me, girl. :hug
@Kate–Thanks! I’m so happy to inspire!
@Stacy–Thanks for the tip! I wish I had thought of that earlier in my pregnancy. I only have 4 weeks to go now, so I think I’ll be able to stick it out. *crossing fingers*
@Merry–Awww…you are also too good to me. Thank you! :hugs
@blondie–Not yet… *gulp*
love it. can’t wait to find my own dress/cardi/maternitywear

XO – Katie
Thanks Katie! I have no doubt you will have just as much fun with your maternity wear, too!
