Recapping 2013: Pregnancy Outfits and Pre-Vivian Posts.

2013 was the year when I changed the name of my Blog from Elegance Personified to Elegance and Mommyhood. I think the name change happened sometime in late March or early April. I saw the new name more fitting to my new life and style as a brand-new mom to Baby Vivian who came into this world on January 19th 2013. So, as I am recapping my favorite fashions from 2013, let's start with My Pregnancy. Below is a Collage of my Favorite Outfits I wore while still Pregnant, weeks or days before Vivian was born. You can find all of these Outfits' posts on detail under my January 2013 & February 2013 archives.

While Pregnant I owned very few Maternity Clothes. All in all I had 3 pairs of Pants: 1 Pair of Jeans, 1 Black Pair, 1 Dressy Gray Pair; 1 Black Pencil Skirt; 4 Maternity Tops; 1 Maternity Cardigan & 2 Pairs of Maternity Tights. So I made do using a lot of my Leggings, Long Cardigans, Tunics, Loose Blouses, Wide Sweaters and Sweater Dresses. I wore my Maternity Clothes a lot but I also wore a ton more Non-Maternity. I relied on a lot of Belts. Flat/Riding Style Boots were my go-to Shoes. I think overall I came up with Nice Outfits that looked presentable for a laid-back office environment as well. What do you think?

My 3 Most Favorite Posts prior to giving birth are as below.

1. Pregnancy Photos - Part Two.

I am so glad we had a Pregnancy Photo Shoot. It took place by the largest Forest Park in Tirana - Albania on January 6th, just 3 days before our baby arrived. There were over 500 Photos taken. Choosing which ones to post was hard. This is one of My Most Favorite Photos from this post. =)

2. Pregnancy Photos - Part One.

There were so many pictures taken in our Maternity Photo Shoot as I said that I had divided it into two posts. I like Part Two slightly better because I loved the inside photos so much. Once again so many great photos but the one above, of us reaching towards our daughter (her little pink boots represent her) inside a heart made of leaves is truly stunning. We also printed and framed this one. The photographer did such a good job. =)

3. My Baby Story: 37 Weeks and the Crib.

I would do a weekly update about My Pregnancy at the end of each week. This one in particular was a favorite because it was pretty much the last one. On the last day of the 38th week, just as I was about to post the 38 Week Update, little Vivian was born. This particular post was a favorite also because I shared with you all her Crib. The photo above shows the crib inside. Hope you like it?
