MY MATERNITY STYLE

I am coming to the end of my pregnancy and wanted to take a look back at the progression of my style throughout these past 9 months. Let me just say that dressing the bump has not been easy {at least not for me…}. It has been a stressful few months and the fact that I’ve had to put myself out here and share photos of my growing self with all of you has been hard.

I’m glad I did it because it has been a great learning process and it’s fun to look back and see how much I’ve grown {yikes!}. I’ve tried to stay true to my self and style, focusing on clothes that I found flattering to my body type {I’m 5′ 3″ and petite pre-pregnancy in case you were wondering}. There were lots of leggings, cardigans, maternity jeans {TopShop are my favorite}, slip-on sneakers, ponchos, and booties along the way. Comfort has been key and of course black anything has been my dear good friend.

I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when going through this process, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot. I’ve finally gotten the hang of styling the bump as I am nearing my final days and wanted to share some of my favorite maternity styles with you from the beginning to the end.

    Such gorgeous maternity style, especially loving all the dresses and ponchos. I lived in dresses throughout my pregnancy, and still am until I’m cleared to work out again. Comfort is key, so it’s all about leggings, dresses, and feeling good in your own skin. You’re soooo close, how exciting <3

    You’ve done such an amazing job at styling your bump throughout your pregnancy and have given me many ideas, as I’m sure you have done with your other readers. I can imagine how challenging it can be to adapt to a changing body, but you’ve done it with such pose and style 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring, beauty, and I hope you have the most amazing week ahead!
