Accessorize!

I love, love, love the look of an adorable bump, paired with a chunky necklace. It draws the eye up to your glowing face, while perfectly balancing your growing belly. While you are pregnant, break out those bold, eye catching pieces that are sitting in your jewelry box. If you need some, you can find them at all price points. Forever XXI is a good place to look if you are wanting something cute and cheap. Below are some of the necklaces I'm digging right now.

Holiday Dressing

I love this outfit from old navy maternity. Cute, cheap and great for a casual party. Any bright bag that you have will work!


I love the color of this shirt and the coral dress, also from Old Navy:

Keep it simple and sophisticated in this dress from Saks:

Also from Saks. I'm a sucker for ruching!

Hallelujah!

Being Sunday, we went to church and praised His name. But tonight I have found something else to give thanks for. Hanky Panky maternity! Available at A Pea in the Pod. If you've never tried these bad boys, I suggest you run out and get a pair! I will be doing so once I am in need of maternity undies.

The Blog is Back!

Sadly, I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and I just couldn't take looking at maternity fashion for a time. We are very fortunate to be expecting once again and I just pray that this one sticks! So, what better way to celebrate a BFP than to go shopping! Gap had 25% off sale, so of course I went there.

I love this dress because it can really be worn year round:

I have this shirt in regular womens and it is one of favorites right now! So I picked up one in maternity:

What NOT to Wear

Please, PLEASE, I beg you, stay away from shiny and puffy sleeves. Yikes!

Flower on the boob. Just say no!
Shiny, big pattern right on boob. Yuck.
You are pregnant, not on Little House on the Prairie.

Concealing the bloat

Early in your pregnancy you may be like me and try to conceal your not so much of a baby bump thickening of the middle. The dreaded bloat. These pieces are not maternity, but are great for early in your pregnancy and hiding the post delivery jiggles for a couple of months.

I want to run out and buy this - Banana Republic:
BR as well:
Dillards:
Intermix - The ruffles really draw your eyes up and away from the tummy area

The Color Wheel

If you are looking to infuse some color into your maternity wardrobe, take a look at the offerings at Ann Taylor Loft and Nordstrom. Both have shades from every part of the color wheel, and there's no better way to complement your pregnancy glow than with a shot of color.
