Tricks and Trend for Outfits when you're Expecting

My 2^nd 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

Now this post is all towards creating bright and cheerful moods in home which can be done incorporating splash of colors here and there. No, don't even think about big budget requiring projects. I am seriously not into them :-). 

While you all must have been heard about 'Neons'; Neon is the brightest shade of color which have been popular and quite a trend in outfits and accessories mostly the Fuchsia Pink, Bright Orange, Purple, Parrot and Lime Green colors.

How to make Neon color work in home decor? Stay with this post. Here are some ways to make the Neon color work in our home.

# Balance is the key.

While making splash of some color, you don't need to overdo them, Just make sure you are not creating whole riot of colors in one place, keep as simple as sprucing up one corner at a time, or one area or only accessories at a time.

# While with Neon, Keep it simple. 

You need not have to add new furniture and accessories with whole lot of your money. As simple as a vase, light stand, a bright frame or a cushion can play to your Neon rhythm.

#Make the complementary colors work.  

Grey colors work wonder with Fuchsia pink, Limes and yellow. So does Green with white. So, while decorating with Neon, make most of those complementary colors. 

# If painting is your choice this summer, designate a wall, or a cabinet, or a whole kitchen to your choice of color.
