Maternity Wardrobe Essentials

Every pregnant lady writes this post, right? Here's a few things that I could not have done without so far in the pregnancy:


Garnier BB Cream. I used to be the best sleeper. I slept from 10:30 to 6:30 every single night, without fail. I never woke up in the middle of the night, not to roll over, not to use the bathroom, nothing. Now that I'm sleeping in, at best, 4 hour stretches, I decided an addition to my morning routine might be helpful to combat the zombie face effect. This is when you're grateful for a sister who's a make-up artist. She recommended Garnier's BB Cream especially since I don't wear make-up on a daily basis. Just this, and maybe a swipe of mascara, makes all the difference.

Belted Maternity Coat
A great maternity coat. I'm pregnant for a good 3 months of winter, and that doesn't include post-postpartum time, so we decided that a maternity coat was a wise investment. Mine, shown above, is super cute, with a punch of color and the belt emphasizing the bump. I feel put together, even when only a handful of items fit.

Simply Vera Vera Wang Ballet Flats - Women
Speaking of things not fitting, thank goodness for black flats. Back in September I bought two pairs from Kohl's and wear them daily. My Ugg boots still fit, so I'm currently running around in Uggs for outdoors, with a pair of flats in my bag.
Simply Vera Vera Wang Solid Leggings - Extended Size
Black Leggings. I have two pairs that I switch out under my dresses. They're not maternity leggings, I just wear them under my bump and I'm good to go. This is necessary as it gets colder and as my dresses get slightly shorter by the week!!

I'm also wearing cute earrings, other accessories and my hair down more, in an effort to distract from the insane bump that is Caleb growing by the week. We're now at the point where people say "Are you having that baby this month??" I'm sure they mean well...

  1. You are such a pretty pregnant lady, though! Let me know if you want to borrow a few wintery maternity clothes to change it up a bit. I might even have a holiday dress?
