I feel happy and inspired when I see pregnant women rocking it…whoop whoop! They give me a little hope
that it ain't all that bad after all. We do not have to throw our creative
juices out the window for some nine months or so.
Pregnancy is not an easy process
or so I've gathered. Dressing can be a challenge even for the trendiest
moms-to-be because your body constantly changes. Some carry their baby low. Some carry high. Some are big all over. Some
others are small all over. You have to figure it out and dress your new shape
accordingly.
I stumbled on
this lady’s Instagram page and blog (view blog here) and
I was quite impressed by her pregnancy style; Vibrant and Bold. Prints, layers,
colors and form fitting dresses seem to work the magic for her. She reminds me
so much of Stella of Jadore Fashion (view blog here) when she was pregnant. Super Inspiring.
The ultimate
rule is to wear what makes you comfortable but do not go slouchy. Do not make
your over-sized sweaters or tops your go-to outfit. You gotta embrace the bump ladies!
Layering always
works.
Layering would
not make you look bigger as long as you have the right pieces on. Structured jackets,
coats and blazers will add dimension to your look. It’s also a fine way to seemingly
‘hide’ your bump (I know you can’t hide it, but you get what I mean ba?) I noticed the
way she paired every of her form fitting dresses with an outer-layer rather than
wearing alone.
I like how she
went all dark and topped it off with a bright outer-layer here. The dark color gives
a slimming effect and disguises the bump a bit. The trendy long line jacket and
fringe bag pulled the outfit together quite nicely.
PRINTS AND
STRIPES
You know,
looking at the front view, the prints make it a little difficult to notice the
bump (or is it just me?). I think it’s even more obvious in bright solid colored
clothing than prints. Your eyes are first caught up in the business of the
prints before they then adjust to the fact that there is actually a bump around
the tummy area. In other words, I think prints are a great choice for preggy
mamas.
Let's compare…
Empire waist
dresses and tops, wrap dresses, maxis, A-line dresses, tunics, swing dresses
are also flattering on most pregnant ladies.
I hope you
draw some inspiration from this post.
