Out with the old, in with the new

I recently had a huge wardrobe cull (could have been "nesting"?) and it feels much better to see everything in my wardrobe clearly. I imagine that I will revisit it again in a couple of months when I have a better sense of my shape and can see what items fit/ suit me. The prospect of having my waist back is pretty exciting and I feel like celebrating with some new purchases, plus the sales are just getting more and more tempting, as pieces I couldn't even consider at the start of the season are now massively reduced and will soon fit me. Being on a baby budget, I shouldn't even be considering this... but maybe if I get some culled items up on ebay we could come to some kind of arrangement...

These I have already purchased (sneaky!) and I think they'll mostly be quite suitable for the new lifestyle.  All pieces are Karen Walker, from Vanity Flair (use code SALE20 for a further 20% off) and karenwalker.com, except for the jeans which are Current/ Elliott from Shopbop. I predict that white jeans will be a must-have for Spring.

These ones are still on my wish list (clockwise from left): Karla Spetic silk and wool dress; Equipment yellow and teal blouses; Lover dress; Mimco brogues; Karen Walker skirt (but the short version); Lover blouse.  

I'm holding off because I think most of them may be impractical with children... but then there's the pretty factor... Most likely purchases are the shoes, skirt and one dress (to be decided). 

I'm also considering a pair of either floral or pastel jeans from J Brand or Current Elliott. Do you think these trends will be around for awhile?
