How to Build a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget- What You Actually Need in Your Maternity Wardrobe Capsule

April 25, 2023 by Katie H.

What maternity essentials you need to have in your maternity wardrobe capsule.

In case you are wondering, no I am not pregnant, nor do I plan on having any more babies. My days of putting together maternity outfits are over. But recently I have been asked for maternity wardrobe recommendations. When I was pregnant with Anna, I wrote a whole series called “Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget“. Most of those posts are still relevant, but I felt like I could do a little update to make these maternity posts a little more helpful. That’s why today I want to talk about what maternity essentials you need to have in your maternity wardrobe capsule!

Maternity Outfits You Can Wear Before, During, and After Pregnancy

January 11, 2021 by Katie Haller

Maternity outfits that you can wear before, during and after your pregnancy

*This post contains affiliate links

I don’t know why, but maternity fashion is always overwhelming for most pregnant women.  I think that we tell ourselves that we are supposed to dress in a different way because we are pregnant and our bodies are growing.  We tell ourselves that we need to buy “maternity clothes”.  The truth is, when it comes to your maternity fashion, nothing needs to change.  You can wear the same outfits that you always wore before you were pregnant, and you can continue to wear those outfits long after your pregnancy.  All you need to do is invest in a few maternity pieces here and there (read more on what maternity clothes to buy HERE) to help fit over your growing belly, but overall, you should be able to get by with buying the bare minimum amount of maternity clothes.

Essential Maternity Clothes: What to Buy And Avoid Buying While Pregnant

January 10, 2021 by Katie Haller

Essential maternity clothes: Maternity jeans

When it comes to building a maternity wardrobe, it can often be overwhelming and a little confusing.  Some people might think that you need to buy all your clothes in the maternity department when you are pregnant, but that’s not the case at all.  Obviously, every woman is built differently and everyone starts showing at different times.  I still believe that most women can get away with buying only a few essential maternity clothes in the maternity department.

How to Style a Simple Black Fitted Maternity Dress

May 6, 2020 by Katie Haller

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.
