Happy Monday! Hope you’ve been enjoying my ‘Dressing the Bump’ series, as today’s is the penultima one! I have been featuring a lot of dresses as of late – which has no doubt been the category and style I have been wearing the most throughout this pregnancy; so I thought I would give you a bit of a different look today. Nothing ground-breaking, but another “typical” outfit I tend to wear a lot on a day-to-day basis (especially now that the temperature has dropped back to it’s early 20s)…
Another week, another outfit post as part of this month’s ‘Dressing the Bump’ series. This week, it’s all about that lightweight, summer boho dressing… We’re in the height of the season, and I for one have invested heavily in a variety of soft and feminine dresses – which also just happen to be the perfect piece of clothing when your bump is growing rapidly by the day…
So from last week´s easy breezy chic all-black look – to something a bit more casual this week, and certainly, a lot more bump enhancing! As I was saying before; I am not usually one for bodycon dresses and styles – however things can certainly change – and funnily enough, now that I am pregnant, I am actually more into the tight shapes than ever! I mean, the bump is there, and it’s pretty special and beautiful – so why not show it off from time to time?
As so many of my readers seems to be interested in maternity style and curious to see how I am currently styling up the pregnancy – I thought I would do a little mini style series for you this July! So every week this month I will be sharing a different styled up look and shape that could work with a growing bump. This week it´s all about the loose-fitting, breezy and all-black chic outfit – which I so often tend to go for anyways; and even more so now that I am nearly 27 weeks pregnant…
We’re slowly transitioning into Autumn, and replacing easy breezy summer dresses with those perfect black skinnies, good quality basics, and the ideal trans seasonal outerwear (the khaki jacket). After living in dresses for so long this summer, which I’m sure you picked up on with my July series of ‘Dressing The Bump‘, I never thought I would manage to wear skinny jeans again; especially not now that I am getting rounder by the day with my 33 week bump. But then I discovered these perfect black skinny jeans, and never looked back…
This pregnancy is going by so fast, I can’t believe I am 7 months already, with only 12 weeks to go! Although we cannot wait to meet our little man this Autumn, and feeling so desperate to cuddle and touch his little face and body – I am personally finding it all a tiny bit daunting… I guess it’s the unknown, and all those question marks. Do I have everything for the labour, for the nursery, for the house? Car seat, pram, enough clothes, will I be able to breastfeed, how will I know what he wants? Luckily I am a firm believer in trusting your own instinct, and I am pretty sure the strong mother’s instinct will help guide me along the way, if I ever feel a bit lost and overwhelmed (which I am sure I will)… But for now I am going to run you through the remaining of my 2nd trimester and the unknown of moving into the 3rd trimester.
I have never been a natural sun or swim frolicker, who runs around on the beach and confidently jumps in sea. I guess I´m like many other ladies – not necessarily the happiest when I am wearing swimwear, and for far too many years I have let my various body hang ups, put a damper on amazing running around on the beach/jumping in the sea-moments. Funnily enough, now that my body is naturally bigger than ever, growing that special little bump – I am finding myself more confident and carefree then I have ever been – I mean, what else can you do, then love and embrace your new shape? And it´s actually made it fun to put together my swimwear looks for my upcoming holiday to Ibiza next week – finding some really great (and flattering, most importantly!) swimwear shapes to fit.
From someone that´s not been into overly feminine dresses (or dresses in general) – and more often than not, always opting for separates instead – I am all over it at the moment! As I am sure you have noticed from April and May´s blog posts! And especially now that I am pregnant (and growing by the day), dresses have been so easy to throw on, teamed with a leather jacket, blazer or oversized khaki jacket.
