MATERNITY MONDAY… non maternity to style the bump (wear now and later!)

One of the hardest thing about being pregnant is feeling like you’re wearing somebody else’s clothes – so non maternity clothes that you can get you through the 9 months and onward are always a great investment.  The key to finding non maternity option that can you can wear even in the height of pregnancy is to look for clothes with stretch, ruching or with a more voluminous silhouette.  Styling the bump can be incredibly challenging so its important to try to have fun and figure out what you’re personal maternity style will be…  Going a bit boho with some floaty maxi dresses or sexy and slick with some body conscious stretchy jersey pieces are both wonderful options that you can accomplish with regular, non maternity clothes and I’m going to show you some great options!  Sometimes a regular dress can work the first half of pregnancy but then might have to be worn as a top as the bump grows and grows, same with some of the convertible maxi-dresses which may start as a dress and become better worn as a skirt…   Dressing for your growing figure doesn’t have to be daunting – from the time you get your first positive test through your delivery and then however long it takes you to get your body back your shape will constantly be changing – but your wardrobe doesn’t have to.  Check out some of my favorite non maternity option you can wear now, wear later and beyond!

MATERNITY MONDAY… summer maternity clothes

It may not be hot hot hot where you are but here in LA we’re already in the 90′s and my poor expectant friends are desperate for some summer maternity clothes to get them through the next few months.  Being pregnant can be super uncomfortable whether it’s morning sickness and fatigue in the first trimester or swollen everything and acid reflux in the 3rd trimester so when the weather gets hot it can be absolutely miserable…  Having great summer maternity clothes is essential for expectant moms because it allows them one less discomfort.  Sure, sandals are a relief for those swollen feet but styling the bump for the office, a summer wedding or just running around town can make you want to lock yourself up in an air conditioned room.  This week I’ll show you great summer maternity clothes that will tick all your warm weather needs and keep you stylishly comfortable in the months ahead!

MATERNITY MONDAY… chic maternity clothes – show off that bump!

Pregnancy is not a figure flaw – its a time to celebrate the bump and miracle of life so why not indulge in some chic maternity clothes to help show it off!  I love how celebrities from Kerry Washington to Olivia Wilde to Drew Barrymore are accentuating their shape and not hiding away trying to conceal their growing bellies.  Just because you’ve got a bun in the oven doesn’t mean you have to give up on style – chic maternity clothes allow you to look amazing and show of  your new curves with pride.  Spring and summer is upon us so enjoy styling your bump for the warmer weather with pretty little dresses and figure hugging styles that highlight your glow (and your shape).  Check out some of my favorite chic maternity clothes you’ll love wearing throughout pregnancy and never want to put away!
