...because home doesn't happen overnight.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*

So, you all know I’m prego, right? Yeah, that’s old news. What’s new though are all the recent comments and emails I get from readers asking me to address certain elements of my fashion style: shoes, bags, clothing, etc. Who knew?! House*Tweaking certainly isn’t the first place you come to for fashion advice nor should it be. But with all the questions regarding my wardrobe and such, I thought it would be fun to put together some posts dedicated to fashion…more specifically maternity fashion…since that’s where I’m at in my life right now.

I know that topic is waaaay off base from where H*T usually sits but Handy Hubby is in and out of town over the next several weeks on business, so progress at the Underdog will be minimal. That leaves me with a window of opportunity to discuss non-decor related topics that I get questioned about frequently.

Next week will be chock full of affordable and easy ideas for dressing a baby bump. If you aren’t prego nor have any desire to be prego {read: ‘if you’re a man’ cough, cough}, feel free to tune out and spread the H*T maternity fashion week word onto your fellow female family and friends. If you are prego, will become prego, know someone who is prego or just think prego bellies are cute then you may just find next week’s info entertaining. If anything, you’ll get to see up-to-date pics of my ever expanding baby bump and lady lumps…maybe with a post or two of Underdog updates thrown in for good measure.

To kick things off, Shabby Apple has graciously offered to sponsor a fashion-related giveaway! And you don’t even have to be preggers to enter or win.

If you haven’t heard by now, Shabby Apple is an online boutique that sells women’s dresses, girls’ dresses, maternity dresses and many other women’s apparel and accessories.

I can’t get enough of the vintage-gone-modern look! If I had a few extra bucks, I would totally rock this Mama Apple maternity dress

Are you famished for fashion yet? Good. It’s not just me and my voracious eating-for-two appetite. Here’s how you can enter to win the Andes patterned high waist skirt – which I think would look fabulous on any body type dressed up or dressed down.

  • PRIZE:  one Shabby Apple Andes skirt valued at $44. Sorry, the model’s body and cascading waves are NOT included with the skirt. Bummer, I know. No returns or exchanges will be given for the winning skirt so please order according to the sizing chart! But wait…there’s more! Even if you don’t win, you can still score 10% off your next Shabby Apple purchase by using the coupon code HOUSETWEAKING10OFF.
  • RULES:  You must be at least 18 years old and have a U.S. shipping address to enter. One entry per email address. Yes, guys, you can enter to win this great skirt for the woman in your life…and just in time for Christmas!!
  • HOW TO ENTER:  Leave a comment on this post proclaiming “NOT TOO SHABBY!”
  • DEADLINE:  Enter before Thursday, December 8th at 9:00 p.m. EST. One lucky winner will be chosen via Random.org and announced on Friday, December 9th.
  • WHILE YOU’RE AT IT:  What item of clothing, fashion accessory, footwear or piece of jewelry are you presently hunting for or lusting over? I’ll go first. I’m on the hunt for a comfy yet stylish pair of everyday casual sneakers. Nothing expensive. Nothing too loud. Nothing with a thick, bulky rubber sole. Nothing white. Nothing uncomfortable. Nothing orthopedic. Really, is that too much to ask?

Don’t forget to ‘like’ Shabby Apple on Facebook to receive special promotions and discounts!

NOT TOO SHABBY! fingers crossed!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! Just like niksoap, boots that fit my huge calves would be great. They’re out there, but larger calves certainly don’t have the selection a slender calve does and it’s tough finding anything cute!

02.December.2011

I am on the hunt for a modern, clean cut and flattering winter coat. Everything I have seems to be shapeless and blah. But I guess the fun is in the thrill of the hunt!

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! I am on the hunt for a perfect black belt to cinch around sweaters or dresses. Oh a a pair of not SO expensive slippers. Thanks for the giveaway – you should totally rock that mama dress!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY at all!! Love some of Shabby’s things! I am hankering for a casual shoe – for work – something that would go with jeans and with cords and possibly a skirt. It must be flat and cute and practical and long lasting! A fun color, maybe? Thanks for a chance at this one!

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! I agree with you about the shoes! Let us know if you find any.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

ps – I am looking for the exact same pair of sneaks! I have had Chucks and Simples, but I thought there might be other options. I do like these http://www.clarksusa.com/eng/product/cosign/36563 from Clarks but they won’t work for me in the winter.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I think I have found my new favorite go-to for online shopping!

I’m searching for a pair of gray boots that’ll hold up in Ohio winters. No heels and knee-high. Why is it so hard to find an affordable and cute option?

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

I’m on a search for black riding boots. I don’t want anything too motorcycle, and I have scrawny calves, so none of them fit!

02.December.2011

I’m excited for next week! We’re about 15 weeks over here and I have found the belly be band at Target super helpful as far as staying in regular clothes for the first trimester. Won’t last much longer though, so next week’s post are going to be super helpful. Hooray!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! cute skirt! i’m looking for a great & comfortable pair of boots and the perfect white button down shirt.

I’m on the hunt for a new pair of black boots with a heel. I went to put mine on a couple weeks ago, after 8 months of hiding away in the closet, only to realize that I had finally worn through the toe box on one of them. So sad!

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! such a cute skirt!

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

Since last fall, I’ve been looking for a cute pair of grey suede knee-high boots that costs less than $200. I have size 11 feet, so it’s actually VERY difficult for me to find cute & affordable shoes (let alone any specific shoes).

As far as your sneakers go, have you tried Payless?? I know it sounds funny, but I got a pair of cute grey & purple Champion sneaks there this summer for around $20 that are actually really comfy & cute (they look kind of like these : ). Sketchers also has some sneaks you might like, but they’re all round $55 each (but 10% off if you have a AAA memebership!).

02.December.2011

Not too shabby!

I’m currently 8 months pregnant and existing in the same set of about 10 shirts and three pairs of pants I’ve been wearing all fall… and I’m not even thinking about post-pregnancy body and what it might want to wear yet…

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!
I am in search of the perfect boots that are stylish and comfy!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! That black maternity dress in the cafe scene (and adorable shoes!) makes me want to have another baby just to wear that dress! Since that’s not going to happen, I have dreams of the perfect pair of shoes for winter that aren’t drab black boots, don’t have a monster heel and pop as much as my ballet shoes do while keeping my feet warm.

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! And I need some new black and brown boots!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I am on the hunt for some over the knee socks to wear with my tall boots :)

02.December.2011

NOT TO SHABBY!!!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!!
I’m looking for a good pair of black leggings to wear under sweater dresses with boots – every pair I’ve found so far is either uncomfortable, too long for my short legs or kind of see-through!

02.December.2011

“NOT TOO SHABBY!”

I LOVE Shabby Apple! I have been lusting after so many of their dresses for the past year. Particularly this one: http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-301-lois-lane.aspx

I am looking for a pair of dressy black boots. I want tall but with very little or no heel. Something I can wear with skirts or dresses. And reasonably priced, of course.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I just want a normal pair of jeans that fit. Why is this so hard to find?

02.December.2011

Not too shabby!

I’ve got an ever-growing collection of scarves. They can make the most boring outfit fun. I’ve also got equally as many colorful necklaces for days when it’s too warm for a scarf.

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! Not really looking for any clothes right now because I’d rather wait until these last few pounds of baby weight disappear!! But accessories always fit ;)

02.December.2011

not too shabby! Love it!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I am always on the lookout for skirts that pair well with leggings/tights (my favorite winter look). The skirt being offered is adorable!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

I had a baby 8 weeks ago and all I crave fashion-wise is to just be able to fit into my old clothes!

By the way, on your shoe hunt…I am loving my keds. Simple, classic, and definitely fitting your list of demands.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!!! I’m hunting for some cute and super comfy boots that I can wear everyday at home with my kids, but are dressy enough to wear out or to church. Don’t know if they exsist…

I’m excited about the fashion posts! I have three kids, and I shudder to think of some of the things I wore while preggers with them! UGH! So if we have any more bambinos I can use these posts as inspiration for a better wardrobe.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! Absolutely adore their stuff! :)

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!!!

“NOT TOO SHABBY!”

but i’ve drooled over the Shabby Apple in the past, so this giveaway is awesome!!! <3

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! I’m looking for the perfect winter coat and the perfect winter boots, but basically with a thrift store budget. Challenging, to say the least!

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

love their website…tulle skirts- yes please.

02.December.2011

Not too shabby!! Jeans that fit well would be lovely

02.December.2011

NOT TO SHABBY! Their dresses and skirts are gorgeous! And I also happen to be pregnant right now, so looking forward to your posts on affordable maternity style! (And seriously thinking about one of the gorgeous maternity dresses from Shabby Apple.)

02.December.2011

NoT tO sHaBby! I’m on the hunt for the perfect fitted, long sleeve levi button up shirt!

I have been looking for ages for a brown leather motorcycle jacket with a tab collar. I have faith that it exists out there somewhere :)

02.December.2011

Not too shabby!

I’m on the hunt for a knee length leather skirt. Can’t find one that fits in my budget! And for casual sneaks, go for converse chuck taylors. Good price, low profile, and lots of colors.

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! I’m on the hunt for new tops that are comfy but don’t look too casual. Let us know when you find those dream sneakers! I have a budding photog biz and need something like that for shoot days.

02.December.2011

Not Too Shabby!

It’s been said before, but boots that my calves will fit into. And a pretty knitted cowl scarf for my chilly office. Like this: http://www.purlbee.com/big-herringbone-cowl/

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

i am dying for a pair of uggs but it’s just not in the budget… :(

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! love, love, love Shabby Apple!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I would love a white or cream peacoat but I’m too afraid I’ll get it dirty.

02.December.2011

Not Too Shabby! Love me some shabby apple. I’m on the hunt for a perfect pair of boots that aren’t too expensive.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

I Love those leaf earrings at the top. I would be super pumped about that skirt if I won! :) Right now I’m in to leggings/tights/skinny jeans with boots and I am having a hard time finding tops to go with them. I think it needs to be a little billowy to contrast & provide symmetry to the tights and I feel that it needs to cover my bubble butt. What a dilemma!

02.December.2011

“NOT TOO SHABBY!”

02.December.2011

NOT TO SHABBY! I am on the hunt for the another pair of good fitting jeans as my favorite pair is falling apart now.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I’m looking for the perfect pair of leather boots that can accommodate my behemoth calves.

02.December.2011

D*am that skirt is cute.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

02.December.2011

Not too shabby!! I’m on the hunt for more scarves for everyday use. Ever since I saw the “25 ways to wear a scarf” video, I have come to realize I need more of these accessories in my life!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

For the first time I’m actually more interested in accessories than clothes! I’ve been looking to expand my collection of hair “decor” and am eager to find more winter-friendly shoes (read: BOOTS!).

Also, these aren’t necessarily sneakers, but I cannot speak more highly of TOMS shoes – just the basic canvas style. Once you wear them in, they are so easy to pull on and off, they have actual arch support, they offer more coverage than normal flats, and they are very slimming to the feet. If I happened to be prego, I would probably buy 5 pairs and just live in them.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I’m with you, Dana — I need some kicks that will keep up with the two kiddos and the Chicago weather.

02.December.2011

I’m 15 weeks as of today and this is my firsy baby. Love the skirt but no way would it fit me. :) My baby bump has a bump.

Great givaway and I will bookmark their site for the hubby’s holiday shopping.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!!!!
Check out Minnetonka Moccasins for a great everyday show. I just bought a pair and have not taken them off!!!! so comfy!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!!!!!!!!!!!! I need this.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

I am on the hunt for shoes that I can wear in winter – I’ve got plenty of boots, I don’t want something I could wear to the gym, and most flats don’t cover enough of my feet for Ohio winters. Gah!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! Ok, so what don’t I crave right now, boots, sneakers, jeans. Those items are top of my list. And I can never have enough scarves!

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I’m lusting after some cheetah print pumps. Since I almost never dress up, they would be unbelievable impractical though.

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I really want an everyday patterned scarf…with a little turquoise and hot pink…sounds simple to find, right?!?!?!

02.December.2011

Not too shabby! I’m on the lookout for a cute winter coat in a fun color.

02.December.2011

Looking for the perfect leather cross body bag. And always a cute dress!

02.December.2011

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY!

I agree with the previous commenter about Roos. Great comfortable shoes! I’d say Puma but I know they are VERY narrow and if you’re pregnant that probably wouldn’t feel too good. Roos are comfy and colorful. :)

02.December.2011

NOT TOO SHABBY! I’ve been hunting for the perfect pair of nude pumps for what feels like an eternity!
