So… I’m pregnant! But don’t worry, I’m not letting a little thing like having a bun in the oven influence my fashion choices- just yet. (Talk to me in three months when a mumu is the only thing that will fit). I’m 18 weeks along and still, thanks to Jeggings and something called the Belly Band, able to fit into my pre-prego wardrobe.

Baby on board or not, I’ve always worked out. And lately, I’ve become somewhat of a yogi. I can hold my own in a downward dog. Or arch my back like the best of ‘em in class. But as much as I love to twist my torso and say ommm, I don’t love shopping for the outfits. Because, let’s face it, although we all want to look just as cute in the gym as we do out on the town, it’s not always easy to pull off.

And then I was flipping through Us Magazine and I saw Whitney Port from The City wearing a cute yoga outfit with little ruffles on the backside (I know, I know, she’s all of about 21 so she can pull off extra fabric back there) and it inspired me to try again to find cute yoga and workout clothes. You know the kind that a 37 year old pregnant chick can wear. And naturally, I gravitated toward pants that flatter in all the right places and pullovers that pull right over all the right places.

Over at Nordy’s (don’t tell Bloomies I cheated) I found pants called Zella Fashion Skinny Booty Capris (pictured above, left) I was sold. They had me at Skinny Booty. At Bloomies, I discovered Juicy Couture Yoga Fleece pants and Juicy Couture Polka Dot Yoga Capri Pants that are adorable! And you can’t forget to throw a good hoodie to  into the mix. And of course Juicy came through again with the Juicy Couture Burnout Fleece Hooded Pullover.

So pregnant or not, working out or not, I want to look hot. Even if I’m sweating while doing it.
