My 2nd born is already
16 months old and I can see the world around me in a different yet better way
with each passing day. Time is still very limited to make things work in 18
waking hours; still I can see myself soaked in more love, positivism and
patience which I’d recognized hardly before!
Words seem incapable to describe the joys I
have been adorned through my beautiful children, the babbling and new found
words in my little ones’ chat, the bond they share with me, the beam in their
eyes when I am home!! Aren't these the things to live for?
That was a little glimpse on my
life as I was not in blogosphere for a while (this time it took very long,
phew!)
Coming to the point, I’ve seen new pregnant ladies struggling through their
pre pregnancy outfits to accommodate their new body! You simply cannot dear, as
your body is expanding to make room for you both. So, I feel the best bet will be
to find some key pieces in your outfits which will eventually lead you till the
end of pregnancy and even some months of your post partum body as well.
Raid your closet not because you
cannot find anything this time but to make some beautiful maternity outfits
accompanying some new key pieces to them.
And before making any decision,
keep in mind what you wear is only your pleasure ultimately so wear your outfits to
satisfy your need and style. I can only provide you some comfortable ideas to
have fun with your outfits in pregnancy days. There is no pregnancy blues
actually, if you make some effort, this time will make you glow also through
your outfits.
Here are some of my shortlisted ideas for outfits which will eventually last through your full term of pregnancy.
1.Invest in key pieces (Leggings, Tunics, A line, Empire waist and wrap Tops/dresses,Long Tank top, Chunky Cardigan)
A line shape will
enhance your new shape and dresses/tunics in this shape and will accommodate
through all your pregnancy. These are the outfits you will wear it before,
during and after pregnancy actually. Yes, you can buy these key pieces
according to you own budget. Just make sure the fabric is good and will last
for almost 1 year.
Leggings will
help you to run errands, visit doctors and feel your baby bump lifted. They’ll
also give you streamlined look when tucked into boots in those winter days.
My tip: there
are some ‘not so reasonably’ prices maternity leggings in the market these days
but after stretching up to good 82 Kg in my latest pregnancy, I can assure you
can buy outfits in one size up your actual size and can be fitted till your
baby is out of you. When your bump is big, just slouch the waistband of your leggings below for more comfort.
Before pregnancy,
you may be able to wear Tunic as a dress; as you go through your pregnancy,
pair it with leggings. After baby,
you'll appreciate the extra room – plus, the added fabric can provide a
discreet cover while nursing.
And Maxi dresses
are oh so trendy these days, which you can find it in any budget you want.
Empire waists, flowing skirts, a focus on your collarbone, shoulders, and
décolletage! Maternity Style Experts say, Maxi dress is another item you
probably don't need to buy in the maternity department. Just make sure you
choose a soft jersey fabric that can drape easily over your changing body.
A classic shift dress with a slight A-line (meaning body skimming around the upper body and then flared out at the bottom) has a youthful, deconstructed silhouette that's flattering on nearly everyone, and especially so for new or expectant moms.
2. Accessorize
Sky is the limit
for accessorizing your maternity outfits. Accessories of any kind will draw the
eyes towards the accessory rather than your precious baby bump. And of course
Accessories in maternity wear will make the outfit complete in every way.
Blazers, leather jackets, Denim jacket, beautiful earrings, chunky statement
pieces, boots, belts, and scarves. You name it! Just embrace your new body and
try with whatever you have. This is undoubtedly the most treasured phase in a
woman’s life that’ll automatically make you more beautiful. So Invest in outer wear that will instantly add your personality.
Make it work with blazers and jackets

radiant with that great ‘Pregnancy glow’. You can make that glow on good use by
wearing as many colors as you wish. Expert says, it helps to wear more colorful
pieces on the days when you don’t feel too good. At least your skin tone looked
that much better!
