clothing myself this summer

Something about only having ONE store to choose from whilst pregnant makes it so much easier to shop.  For the most part, I've stuck with Destination Maternity for every look I've needed to accomplish. 

This summer hosts several events that I will (obviously) need a new outfit for.  And there won't be any repeats.  I've got...

1.  My 10-year high school reunion.  What?  Yeah.  And I swear I always knew I'd be pregnant for it.  No boozing it up and making out with high school crushes for me.  Anyways, I need the perfect outfit.  Should I go casual or dressy-casual?  Defintely heels.  Definitely big curls.  This is my idea:  it's $99 - worth it?  I think so!


2.  My best (guy) friend's wedding.  How exciting is this?  He's like my brother, even though we rarely talk anymore.  It's July 6th, so I won't be showing too much at that point.  I'm loving this option, since the reception is a bit more formal than your average.



3.  My childhood best friend's little brother's wedding.  This guy was like family growing up and I am so damn happy for him.  I don't have an invite yet (just a save-the-date) so I'm not too sure about the details.  Possibly this fabulous dress with wedges:


4.  A "sprinkle" for my twin prego (we literally conceived one day apart).  It's been five years since she's had a baby and she'll need a lot of new baby items so I'm throwing her a party.  I am so blasted excited to see her on this day, glowing like crazy I'm sure.  As the host I want to be comfortable and able to move around easily, yet still look put together:

5.  My husband's cousin's wedding.  Otherwise known as my favorite in-law family member.  She's supremely class, has sensational taste in clothes, and will have a stunning wedding.  I can't wait.  This event takes place in October - that means I will have a seven-pounder rolling around in my belly and I'll need to be comfortable (to an extent).  I'm thinking this ensemble:
 



So there you have it, only $500 for my summer events wardrobe.  Time to start ordering!
