How I Keep My Style While Pregnant!

 

I’m nearly at the finish line of this pregnancy! I love being pregnant and it’s the most challenging time for me to embrace my body. Keeping my style and feeling like myself helps. I’m breaking down the ways I sustainably, and if I say so myself, beautifully did it.

1.      Know Your Style

You absolutely must know your style. My pregnancy style doesn’t differ too much from any other time, but I will wear more fitted clothing. I love a bump flattering moment.

If you need inspiration there is always Pinterest, Instagram, and Tik Tok. #bumpstyle

2.      Sort Your Wardrobe

I have a capsule wardrobe which makes it easy to see what I have that would and would not go the distance. From there I made a list of pieces I would want to add. I gravitate to more breathable, stretchy, smocked pieces. This way I don’t have to buy maternity and most times I don’t have to size up. Comfort can be very cute, and I feel like I sacrificed style my first couple pregnancies.

3.      Rent!

OMG, I’m I going to sound like a fangirl here! I tried Nuuly this pregnancy and do not plan to stop. I loved being able to pick from a huge array of clothing. They had most of the brands I love to wear, so it was a match. Here are some ways I styled the clothes.

4.      Second Hand/ Poshmark

Shopping second hand is one of the best ways to dress the bump affordably and consciously. Our bodies really switch up quick, so this is a guilt free way to navigate.

Here is where I spill all the tea. Poshmark is always coming in clutch for me. I am always thrilled to go thrifting, but I don’t always find pieces that suit me. I have had a great deal of fortune with Poshmark though.

Poshmark Tips:

-          Know what brands you like to wear/ brands that cater to your style

-          Know your size with the brand you’re shopping

-          Always filter the search with your sizes

(There’s nothing worse than falling in love with something you can’t have)

-          Use Keywords, Brand Names, Fabric Descriptions

Regardless of if “Sweatpants are all that fits” or you enjoy wearing dresses like me I hope you feel radiant during your pregnancy. It is such a sweet, short journey, don’t let the joy be robbed!
