Baby Mama

I love Feedback from Pretty Messy followers. It makes me know that I am not virtually talking to myself and sometimes you guys give great ideas! My friend Deidre has asked me to post about Maternity wear, I know all to well the predicament she's in. You are young, Tent Maternity Dresses are Just. Not. Going. To. Work. So I've compiled a list of tips and possible outfit choices that helped me keep me sane during my pregnancy.

Do remember that being pregnant is a fashion statement in itself. Do not follow impossible trends. Do not wear that High waisted Jean while your not showing yet. Embrace the bump early on.

My number one tip for Pregnant ladies are: Get your Hair done as much as possible. An outfit looks more fashionable with Hair that is washed or has a funky hairstyle. Try not to do your own hair. This is a good excuse to feel pampered. If a bad hair day catches you on an hormonal day- You will feel horrible.

Second tip: Most of your clothes are adaptable to the bump. Leggings are your best friend. Longer length tops is its cousin. Dresses look stunning on a pregnant lady because you highlighting the bump which is attractive and makes sure that people understand at weddings and family gatherings why you are at the buffet table first. Empire line dresses: Hello.

Third Tip: the one difference that sets you apart is that Do not Accesorize like you would usually do. You are already carrying a weight inside your body. Do not add that heavy chunky bracelet and that ornamental earrings. Simplicity is key.

But remember some days you just won't care at all and that's okay. As long as you care most days. Because this is a time you will want to document.

Your Staple Outfit: 

Leggings: Invest in every pair you can find. I would recommend buying them because it is still wearable and fashionable post- pregnancy. Comfortable shoes and matching bag. Either earrings or a a necklace but keep it simple. The top/dress any colour and loose shape. Whatever you feel is comfortable. For the girl on a budget: Take your short dresses, add a belt. 

Other Examples: 

 The Empire Waist

You do not have to wear black to a formal event. 

Embrace the bump. Buy a monochrome tight- fitting dress. Try it with a coat like the Kardashian above or a cardigan. Or be the braveheart and wear as is. 

Not  a Pregnant outfit choice you see everyday. If you have a denim shirt or dress: layer a long skirt over it. If you have a maxi skirt, layer your denim shirt over it. 

Stripes: Yes. In Every way, Shape and Form. 

Ultimate Comfort Factor: Stretch pants, Oversized shirt and Flip Flops.
