Summer Looks: 8 Vintage | Retro Maternity Pieces For The 3rd Trimester

Who loves second-hand? Who loves super hot vintage finds? Without the trendy, up-marked price tag? I had a lot of fun today finding some maternity appropriate items (read: fits in the 3rd trimester). Not strictly maternity wear, less than what the tags list in many boutique vintage shops.

Who says we have to conform to spending ludicrous amounts on maternity fashion to rock our bump? Nay. There are plenty of boho-chic, mod, classic and vintage finds/cuts trending out there that flatter our growing midsection. Comfortably. Sexy and/or Modest.  Especially in this heat and as I near the end of my third trimester, sure, I want to feel not-so-frumpy, but comfort really is number one on the list. Particularly while chasing around my 20 month old wild child. So if I can look good (= helps to feel good) doing it, bonus. maternity bra’s, waste of money if you ask me), maternity jeans, some stretchy, light-knit knee biters for under all those rump exposing summer dresses. I love the ones that have the sheer, thin waist that one cal pull up over their tummies or fold down. So comfy. I digress.

If you are a vintage lover like me, snatch up some of these pretty pieces before they are gone! Of course I am speaking to the well-rounded on-line shopper, the thrifters out there who list second-hand shopping as one of their top favourite things to do. It’s not for everyone, but once you get over the fear (of buying on-line without trying it on), well – it’s a beautiful thing. Really. If you are amongst the cult, (Goodwill, Sally-Ann and Value Village huntresses), then have at’er! Use these pieces as inspiration to draw from.

Mod Bod Clothing Giveaway

Last night was the season finale of The Bachelorette, where we waited with baited breath to find out who Ashley H selected as her husband from the final 2 bachelors she had narrowed down from the beginning group of 25! Sadly, her “meant-to-be” true love and smooth-talker Bentley, was not a part of Ashley’s final selection. It’s just as well. We can’t say Ashley wasn’t warned beforehand! An acquaintance and friend named Michelle Money had texted Ashley as a heads up to Bentley’s ill intentions on the show.  And the drama began to unfold! Speaking of Michelle Money, have you seen her on local billboards throughout Salt Lake and Utah counties recently? She’s modeling for Mod Bod clothing! And are you familiar with Mod Bod clothing? They manufacture a modest line of underclothing such as cami’s, tanks, tees, and V-necks in a high quality cotton fabric and in multiple vibrant or muted colors.

Did you see how that just unfolded?… Six degrees of separation. Only in this case, it was only three.
