I'm finally at the stage where I'm starting to show and feel a lot more convertible in a fitted dress. People are even giving me their seat on the subway! It's really happening! The key has been to find longer dresses (since I'm already tall and the bump makes them shorter) and of course a stretchy material so my bump can grow. I discovered this super cute and affordable maternity brand, Pink Blush Maternity, that I really love. Most of the dresses are in the $45-$65 range! Woo hoo! Everything is really on trend and I like that the clothes are great even if you're not pregnant. For instance, they have off the shoulder dresses (huge spring trend right now) which are adorable. When I started to make investments in my maternity wardrobe, I figured you can't go wrong with a fitted black dress. I like that this one has a lace detail, goes right below my knee and has sleeves to my elbows (making it very flattering, plus I feel less pale!). For the chillier days, it's the perfect transitional spring dress that I can easily layer with a jean jacket and pair with pointed toe strappy heels. And you can really dress it up or down with statement jewelry or flat sandals for a casual look. Now I just need to work on my "pregnancy photo stance!" Haha! I honestly feel a little awkward and not sure if I'm holding my bump in the right place?! I'm working on it! :)
