Maternity Monday: Jersey Wrap Dress
I never splurged on Rosie Pope dresses during my pregnancies, but this wrap dress looks like a great basic for work, and I like that “wash cold” laundering instruction.

Macy’s has a number of cute maternity tops right now, including this chic butterfly print tunic.
