Fall Bump Style

I find a lot of the bump fashion advice kind of annoying.  I am constantly being told that I can get away with not wearing maternity items.  I simply need to wear loose fitting clothes or size up and I’ll look fabulous.  I call bulls!#% on the whole thing!  I’m sure this works for some women who are already quite slender and gain only a wee bit in their tummy.  This is not me.  I’m got curvy bits to begin…

Dressing Up Jersey

  Jersey is a fabric that is notoriously casual.  Lately, it has been my go-to fabric.  It’s comfortable, breathable, and most importantly stretchy.  Most maternity wear seems to come in jersey and it can be easy to feel a bit schlepy (my word).  To avoid feeling like I’m out in my PJ’s, I’ve been choosing items in richer tones for Fall…or upcoming Fall.  I find the right accessories can elevate my look too.  I have had this floral necklace for…
