On Tuesday, I bought myself a new nail colour. Green Tea by L.A Colors. This is a sort of ... Pearlescent pale green.I tried to get a picture of the colour here. It is an incredibly pale shade, and this is with 3 coats of polish. However, I found that its quite nice for spring time. I normally have either quite dark polish or very light nude colours, so this makes a nice change for me.
Along with this, I have made a few more purchases in the way of maternity wear. Here are the pictures from the catalogue.
Both pieces are from Bon Prix, and cost £12.99 (before a 20% discount was applied).
On the left is a nice jersey maternity bolero and below is a maternity shawl. I have ordered them in the colours shown in the images.
My reasons for purchase? I figured with winter out of the way, and summer fast approaching they would be good to throw on over the top of simple outfits. As well as being good for layering when breast feeding.
The poncho here, buttons down the side and does double up as a breastfeeding shawl.
When they arrive, I'll be sure to upload pictures of outfits I have put together with them.
Other things to add for the week? Well, later today my mum and I will be picking up a cot from a lovely freecycler. Which is absolutely brilliant. The one we have at present isn't really in the best of states. Its quite old and had been used mostly as a bed by the previous owners children. As you can imagine, it was full of scratches and bite marks. Was desperately in need of sanding down and repainting. Of course, this pine one that we're picking up will need painting. Though the less that needs doing the better.
As I mentioned above, when my new buys arrive, I'll be putting together a few outfits and doing another post on maternity outfits.
