If you are like me the last thing you want to do is throw done some $$$ on maternity clothing. I try to wear (stretch is the better word for it) my non-maternity threads as long as possible. If I buy new pieces I always consider if I will be able to wear them post baby. The above pieces are my summer maternity go-tos. The shorts are the only maternity item up there. My waist line has passed the point of no return and elastic waists are my only choice. I like to keep my summer maternity outfits and makeup simple for summer (hence the tinted balm).
My helpful hints for dressing your buddha-esque body for the summer (yet avoiding "maternity" clothes):
- Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize.......scarves, jewelry, hats. They are your friends and you will still enjoy their company after the baby comes. Accessories are the easiest way to dress up an outfit.
- Buy long stretchy tanks/tops that are long enough to cover your growing belly. Once the belly fades the tank will still look good.
- Dresses with stretch or empire waists. Make sure they are long enough too. That hemline creeps up as that belly grows. For me, maxi dresses are a must!
- Don't pay big bucks on maternity clothes. If you must buy maternity wear buy wallet friendly pieces from Target, Old Navy, Asos, to name a few!
I have been super behind on blog posts. Busy life = less posts. I plan on ramping things up this week! Happy 4th of July!
Love,
