Last Chance Saves The Day

Remember when I introduced y’all to my most favorite clothing store ever, Last Chance? Well they saved the day again for me this week. We are getting our maternity photos done most likely next week {was waiting for the belly to be big enough, haha its definitely big enough now!} and I thought I could just find some dresses in my closet to wear. Heres the problem, few still fit- and the ones that do are not flattering at all. As in, I can get them on, but they are too fight {hussy style} looking, or make me look like a circus tent. No bueno. So I pleaded with J to let me do a little shopping trip to the good ol’ LC in hopes of finding something fabulous. 

Of course I ended up getting a few ‘extra’ items, how can you pass them up at such incredible prices? And when I feel like I have lost 1/2 of my wardrobe, and I know its only going to get worse!? I found three great tank tops that are super long, and larger than I normally wear, to hopefully help get me through the last couple of hot months. They were on sale for a whopping $.97 each! A Splendid tank for under a $1..heck yes. I also got the adorable grey Trouve sweater, that I can’t really wear much more this year, but I will for sure love it for next winter. Then the white sweat pants I got for $5. I already had a pair of Zellas ‘live-in leggings’ that I got awhile back at LC {for $5, not the $52 Nordstrom sells them for}, and knew they were my most favorite black pants ever, so how could these not be my most favorite white sweats..im sure they will be! The Bella Dahl cords are a perfect shade of mustard, and surprisingly fit. I grabbed them because pants were 50% off so I grabbed my pre-pregnancy size with the hopes of them fitting me once the little man is out. I tried them on thinking I could just check to make sure the length was ok and SURPRISE- they freaking fit! At 28 weeks pregnant. Made my day;) And finally, the awesome ‘man-shirt’ as J calls it. Its nice and roomy and will hopefully continue to fit my growing belly. 


The feather earrings are fun too, because I might keep them earrings, or I might take the feathers from them and add them to these new leather headbands I am making. We shall see..


The dresses are the best! They totally fit comfortably right now, but will totally be able to be worn beautifully while not preggo. The Donna Morgan solid white one alone is freaking $158 at Nordstrom, I paid $13. I think I win! The Maggy London one totally reminds me of Anthro.


All in all I spent a total of $68! Pretty great day at LC, and so happy I now have things to wear not only for the shoot, but for when I get bigger and bigger! This whole ‘your belly gets bigger by the second’ is so crazy, and beautiful, and miraculous! I wish I could put a Last Chance in every town y’all live in, because in reality this post is kind of a mean tease to you all that don’t have the opportunity for these deals. Although, you might have secret stores that us in AZ don’t know about…do tell!!

    I love LC. I’ve been going their almost 20 years! (It use to be at Indian School and 51st Ave.) I never have had much luck finding clothes there, but I always find shoes and purses!
