My Bump Style

by Monika

Happy Monday! So many of you mommies-to-be have been asking about my “bump style” and where I have been shopping for maternity wear!

Quite honestly, the phrase “maternity wear” scared me and I wanted to avoid it by all means! I didn’t want to spend the extra money on clothes that I won’t wear in the near future. BUT, I laugh now- being 7 & a half months pregnant, I’m starting to realize that I really have NOTHING to wear (meaning nothing fits) and I need some desperate help from the maternity department! Again, I didn’t want to spend too much $$, so I only invested in items that I know would work for my next pregnancy and items I could still wear after baby boy comes. I certainly can’t forget the need to feel pampered with new nail polish shades, a candle that would help me relax, some great books and lottts of accessories!

Hope you mommies-to-be can relate!

Adorable :) I have bought a few pieces, been blessed with some hand-me-downs (hello joe’s and citizen of humanity jeans!!) and have stretched and squeezed into pre-pregnancy sweaters and cardigans :) At 7 1/2 months pregnant too, I feel a little blah. Now do you have time to post what you might be registering for? ;)

I would definitely say that pregnant ladies have it so much better now than our moms did!

Love this and totally agree! You can only get so far in your regular clothes – especially pants. I’ve invested in a few maternity staples and love regular long flowy tops that I can wear afterward too. ~ ashleigh

Sooo cute!

Also – I’ve read that Paige Premium Denim makes a really nice line of maternity jeans.

You have the most adorable style! I really love those Zara ballet flats.

I’m almost certain your baby will be the best dressed baby in town! Congrats!

I just LOVE your maternity outfits! I felt the same way when I was pregnant – I avoided the maternity section for as long as I could. I was lucky being pregnant in Summer because I just wore loose, flawy dresses. You are a beautiful preggy mama x
