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.

What to Buy in the Maternity Department and What Not to Buy

January 10, 2021 by Katie Haller

Maternity jeans are an important purchase to make in the maternity department.

One thing that I really enjoyed about being pregnant was dressing my growing baby bump. It was a fun challenge for me to come up with cute outfits that made me feel good about myself but also keep me comfortable. I feel like it can be really confusing at the beginning and a little overwhelming when you think about a maternity wardrobe. 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, but I still believe that most women can get away with buying only a few basic maternity items in the maternity department.

Maternity clothes are often expensive and unless you plan on having a big family and being pregnant multiple times, it’s really not worth the money to buy too many maternity items. During my first pregnancy, I got away with only buying 2 maternity items. During my second pregnancy, I made a few extra maternity purchases, but it wasn’t much more than my first.

How to Style a Simple Black Fitted Maternity Dress

May 6, 2020 by Katie Haller

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.

How to wear a maternity white t-shirt and maternity jeans

Are you ready for another post on Building a Maternity Wardrobe on a Budget? I hope so because today I’m sharing 6 easy ways to style 2 maternity wardrobe staples. A white fitted maternity t-shirt and maternity jeans. I always feel like having a good base to start with is key, then you can just build upon that with layers and accessories.
