Maternity Fashion Advice for Summer

In order to be comfortable through all the heat and humidity, I wear dresses. It's that simple. This way my stomach and legs are not so restricted by tight clothing and I can move around, feeling somewhat cooler. To make dresses work appropriate, [as seen in my outfit today below] I added a lace cardigan to hide spaghetti straps and a white pair of cut off leggings to add length. When choosing a dress, be sure that if there's an elastic waste band, it's placed right beneath your chest. This should make it fit perfectly. I noticed that my some of my dresses are pulled up really short because of my big belly, so watch out for that. Oh and maxi dresses are super comfy too!
FYI: I just wear regular dress sizes; I don't bother with maternity dresses.

Pregnant? Want to Stay Fashionable AND Comfy??

Now I really don't want this blog dedicated to fashion during pregnancy but it's really difficult as I am currently pregnant! So I will dedicate a few posts on what to wear if you find out the wonderful news that you're pregnant and your belly continuously gets larger!! (It's not so bad!) So far I find that I can keep my current style with only minor adjustments.
No, I can't wear my jeans anymore.
No, I can't wear my tighter, smaller fit shirts but I can still keep my normal style of clothes, without dragging myself to some cheap, ugly maternity section in a department store.

So the main question is... How can I stay fashionable AND comfy??

My best advice is to WEAR LEGGINGS! They are so comfortable and I can still wear some of my longer, flowy tops over them. I have about 8 pairs which I rotate in and out of my daily wear. Mine are black, gray, white, full leg length, and some are cut short near my calves. There are several leggings that are more dressy with ruffles, snaps, and ties on them. Those are just as comfy (and extra cute)! So just because you're pregnant, doesn't mean you have to wobble around in sweats. Feel free to, but leggings and a loose shirt is just as comfy for me! And I don't end up feeling like a huge cow! LOL
