The top is part of Rachel Zoe’s … Read More about Maternity Monday: Two-Tone A-Line Maternity Tank Top
Finally Friday: Pull-On Pencil Skirt
This pull-on ponte knit skirt looks great, particularly if your middle is still a little touchy, either from a c-section scar, some postpartum weight fluctuation, or, hey, early pregnancy.
