I like this maternity/nursing blouse for a number of reasons. First, intelligent nursing access — huzzah. Second, a fun print is always great, both for adding variety to what can be a boring/limiting wardrobe, and second, for hiding baby-related stains. Finally, because it’s a pullover style, there are no concerns about gaping. The top is … Read More about Nursing Tuesday: ‘Carrie’ V-Neck Maternity Top
I’ll be honest: even though HATCH is one of the darlings of the “chic casual” maternity-wear scene, a lot of their stuff just seems too… unflattering. (In the non-maternity scene, I have the same problem with Everlane.) But: this soft maternity blazer really does look lovely, and wearable before and after pregnancy. I love the … Read More about Maternity Monday: The Blazer
Call me stuck in 2012, but I must say, I still love the combo of gray and neon yellow. I think it’s a flattering combination that, particularly in a structured piece like a blazer, lends an easy breath of color to an outfit. Here’s a suggestion: wear the blazer with a black dress and throw on a … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘City’ Maternity Blazer
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m not usually a floral person. But: this dress is awesome enough that even I want it. I like the 3/4-length sleeves, the round neck, and the work-appropriate length. For some reason I feel like it would be absolutely perfect if paired with tan shoes (not … Read More about Maternity Monday: ‘Sloane’ Maternity Dress
Oooh: hot dress from Motherhood Maternity — Macy’s has it in red, while Motherhood Maternity itself has it in both red and an abstract black-and-white print. I like the asymmetric fold detail and the pleating at the top of the dress — it’s a nice way to add some visual interest without drawing too much attention. … Read More about Maternity Monday: Draped Sheath Dress
Happy Cyber Monday! Isabella Oliver is offering 33% off all maternity dresses. The brand has a ton of classic maternity workwear; this newer Eliot dress looks very on-trend with the blouson top (and surprisingly flattering, I think!).

Color me crazy, but I think this is exactly the kind of thing that’s great to buy while pregnant. First, if the sleeves are too much for you at work, you can just throw a regular cardigan or blazer over it, and it becomes another black top. Second, because the sleeves are kind of fun, you can dress … Read More about Maternity Monday: Split Sleeve Maternity/Nursing Top
When I was pregnant, the only option like this was a very expensive coat (like $300+) — so it’s great to see Nordstrom making a much more affordable version. If you’re not familiar, this is a great coat if you’re heavily pregnant during winter months because it has a belly-friendly insert. You can remove the … Read More about Maternity Monday: Quilted Puffer Convertible Maternity Coat

I’m not sure which version of this simple sheath dress I’m more psyched about — the purple one? the black one? the maternity sizes? the regular sizes? Decisions, decisions. If only it came with a matching blazer! Either way, it looks like a great dress; full price it’s $89-$98.

Whoa: I’ve seen fleece leggings and tights before, but none specifically for maternity sizes.

The pictured leggings are $82; the tights are only $36. … Read More about Maternity Monday: Fleece Maternity Leggings
I kind of love this entire outfit. The cigarette pants are kind of perfect, and the pleated top is pretty but cool at the same time. As for the styling: kudos to you if you can be that pregnant and still be in 3″ heels — but the nice thing about cigarette pants and maternity is … Read More about Maternity Monday: Bradshaw Cigarette Pants and Celeste Top
