New Body, New Jeans

I'm not quite there yet body-wise. But this is where I was on the way to the hospital:

Now I'm understanding those kind of horrified looks I was getting from my husband during month 9. Get the BellyBandit, preggos!So I'm pretty grateful I'm now here:

Edun jeans on sale for $19.99. And horizontal stripes: Scary yet so cute.

















I had to get biggest-size-I've-ever-worn interim jeans, and the best place to get jeans that will hopefully be too small for me in a couple months is Daffy's Herald Square. I bought these Edun jeans for $19.99. I was looking for a generic cut with good length. These practically drag on the floor.

There's also plenty of Victorinox basics, cute trenches (DKNY, below), and these crazy leggings, all on the 6th floor:


















These leggings, on clearance for $12.99, should be called "Why I Love Daffy's." Drop-crotch, asymmetric fit (maybe not on purpose), and argyle-patterned, you can always find a crazy little European gem at Daffy's.

And as now it's required that I check out the previously rarely-visited 4th floor, here's a Small Paul alert at Daffy's Herald Square. Dang, breaking my "not too much baby posting" rule already! But what's a cuter holiday gift for a niece, friend's baby, or little cousin?

Chanel Dreams, Daffy's Vests

The other week I dreamt I was at a Chanel sample sale (I'd read about a Chanel sale on Racked that day) and found a bright blue and black leather vest for $25. The vests were hanging in the men's section and for some stupid reason I passed it up. As soon as I walked away, I realized I was being a fool and immediately ran back, to find the leather vests swarmed by men. The rest of the dream is pretty fuzzy, but I think I ended up pushing and shoving my way to a vest. I may have also yelled "Hey, I'm pregnant!" to get easier access.

All this reminded me, upon waking up, of this leather vest I passed up at Daffy's Herald Square last November:

Badass vest, back when things could actually be zipped over my belly.















Ugh, Stupida! This is almost as bad as the McQueen coat I passed up on years ago at Nordstrom, on ridiculous sale. But not near as bad as the Demeulemeester leather coat I never bought at Saks more than 10 years ago. Learn from me: NEVER, EVER pass up on Demeulemeester leather.

Here's some other stuff from Daffy's Herald Square you may forever regret passing on, 4th (kids) and 5th (shoes, etc) floors:

Best rainboot options I've seen in a while, from Tretorn.










 
Booties, reduced to $49.99, and Harajuku Lovers sneaks.















 

And almost a wall-full of espadrilles, lots of colors and patterns. And speaking of patterns, check out these Rocawear leggings. I'm partial to the blue and black check.












 




A white Ben Sherman raincoat, and a duck raincoat, sorry, kids sizes only!

















Speaking of kids, bon bebe and Small Paul, tough to resist.
