Maternity Wardrobe Top Picks
The challenge with dressing while pregnant was fun, mostly. Just getting an outfit on resulted in full body sweats and more than a fair share of frustration because something that fit last week may not fit this week. Knowing that this season of pregnancy is short (in theory -- ten months is a loooooong time when you're the gestator), I was mindful not to get too carried away with purchases, and staying true to pieces that made me feel the most confident. Thankfully, a friend (hi Jessie!) had a baby girl about a year before me and graciously loaned me her entire maternity wardrobe. ENTIRE WARDROBE. In hindsight Owen should have been named after her because it made the effort of getting dress easy, on my mental state, and my wallet.
The pieces I did invest in (list is not inclusive) gave me plenty of styling options and made me feel like a million bucks. Till I had to get up and use the restroom for the millionth time because, babies tap dance on bladders.
