Building a "Maternity" Capsule Wardrobe

    Hey friends! I have been wanting to try the "Capsule Wardrobe" idea for awhile, but haven't taken the plunge-- until now.  Pregnancy is a beautiful and weird time for everyone. Part of that (obviously) is an ever-changing body. When I was pregnant with Elijah, Daniel and I were saving up to buy a house and seriously pinching our pennies (hard), so there was only a tiny budget for maternity clothing. I was blessed with a bunch of hand-me downs, some gifts, and some thrifted pieces. I also learned how to creatively use my non-maternity clothing to it's best advantage! 
    This time around I have a good set of basics, and a lot more understanding of WHAT I need. I also realize that, since I will probably be doing this again in a couple years, it is a worthwhile investment to find clothing a like and that fit me (every step of the way). So here is my goal wardrobe. A number of these pieces I will be sewing (hello, belly bands!) or thrifting, and quite a few of them I already have (yay!). 
   If you have never heard of a capsule wardrobe, basically it is a small wardrobe, planned and created to have many the pieces to match with one another. The purpose is to create a large number of unique outfits using a small number of pieces, thus making a simple, minimalist, but attractive wardrobe.

While many of these are not the exact pieces I have/will have in my wardrobe, they are quite similar. I am excited to try out the capsule wardrobe life, and I think this is a pretty good way to try it out before deciding if it is something I want to do with my entire closet. 

What do you think about the "Capsule Wardrobe" fad?
