How to Style a Simple Black Fitted Maternity Dress

How to style a simple black fitted maternity dress

Here I am in the last trimester of my second pregnancy.  I’d like to say that I learned a little more about the basics of maternity style this time around.  I learned what I like and what I don’t like when it comes to maternity clothes.  I will say that my last pregnancy was a little more fun to dress for.  I had fun finding new ways to dress my bump and be creative with my non-maternity clothes.  This pregnancy, I’ve tried to stick more to comfort over creativity.

This is my last style post in my series on Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget.  My main goal while pregnant has been to build a versatile maternity wardrobe that I didn’t need to spend a lot of money on, and that’s just what I’ve done.  My current maternity wardrobe, that I don’t think I will be adding anything else to, consists of 2 maternity t-shirts, 2 maternity tank tops, 2 maternity pairs of jeans, 2 maternity pairs of leggings, 2 maternity fitted dresses, and a belly band.  That’s all the maternity items I have, everything else that I’ve been wearing is my normal non-maternity clothes.

If you read my last outfit post (HERE), you already know that I love fitted maternity dresses.  They are so comfortable and I love how they show off your growing baby bump.  For this post, I am styling a simple black fitted maternity dress (HERE).  I bought this dress during my first pregnancy.  I needed a dress to get me through the holiday season, so I went with this black dress because I knew I could wear it in more than just one way and you can never go wrong with black.  I wore it to my husband’s work Christmas party, to church, and for Christmas Eve.  This time around it’s a totally different season, yet I’m still able to style it for the spring.

  Here are 6 ways that I’m styling my black maternity dress this spring.

Outfit #1- Spring look with platform sandals and hat

I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating b I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating between a picture or a reel, but then I found this picture on my camera roll and I couldn't resist. My little photo bomber is always trying to make her way into my photos. 😜

We are having a snuggle kind of day. Seasonal alle We are having a snuggle kind of day. Seasonal allergies are hitting both my littles. They aren't sick enough to be sick, but feel yucky enough to be whiny and clingy. Hopefully it will pass soon. For now, my lap is the most popular seat in the house.
