Ok because I’m vapid hor, here’s a blog post on Dressing The Bunp.
Again, must put disclaimer as with all fashion posts cos I don’t consider myself a maestro of styling or whatever. My style is quite casual (and sloppy) and simple but being pregnant does necessitate a bit of extra thought when getting dressed each morning so here’s how I do it!
(As mentioned in a previous post, I’m actually finding it a bit easier this pregnancy than the last to dress, partly cos I have experience and partly cos I have leftover maternity wear)
That said, I don’t own one piece of maternity wear cos all the maternity wear in shops seem to be for UK 8 and above. -_- So I make do with baggy cut clothes and other stuff.
#1 No cropped or tight fitting tops
Here wearing a black chiffon shirt from Anticlockwise and elastic shorts from Topshop.
The shirt is loose without being baggy and I tucked it in to look a bit smarter. The shorts are actually super casual but since they’re black can pretend to be a bit more formal.
Actually if you wanna wear a cropped top in pregnancy, go for it! Just that I wouldn’t personally hehe. Cos I shy wtf.
#2 Flared cut tops/dresses
No brainer this one! A top that’s cut in a flare will usually be able to accomodate a growing tummy.
Top from Fashionbloggerrr, pants (stretchy) from Foruchizu past collection. This top comes in layers and is not clingy fabric so I think it gives some slimming effect 😀 I also like the ruffle on top which makes it that bit more interesting.
#3 Big ass tops wtf
This one’s also stating the obvious. Just make sure when you wear a big top to balance it out with skinny/tight bottoms!
#4 Shift dresses
Shift dress above from Anticlockwise.
I find shift dresses very convenient cos I don’t need to dig for pants that can fit me – just throw on a dress and go! The bad thing about shift dresses is they usually have limited room for stretching (unless they’re made of jersey and then they’re not shift dresses anymore) so you can probably only wear them for a while before outgrowing ’em.
#5 Elastics elastics elastics!
I know I said earlier I avoid crop tops but there are exceptions! I got this adorable Bart Simpson stretchy skirt from Kiss & Tell which goes best with a short top.
The cut of both the top and skirt is fitting but not too tight so the overall look is still streamlined and doesn’t make me look like a whale wtf.
It’s white…
I wasn’t very comfortable with my preggers body with Fighter so I never tried an outfit like this but glad I did cos it’s one of my favorite preggers coordinates this time!
Of course, the skirt is quite slim cut so there’s also a limit as to how long I can wear this. But the aim is to be as fashionable as possible until as late as possible. 😀
Besides tight skirts, skater style ones with elastic waistbands work too! Skater style sometimes works great to conceal a baby bump and it definitely slims, cos the flare of the skirt will give you the illlusion of a smaller waist.
Here wearing skirt from Azorias and ankle boots from Anticlockwise.
Another elastic skirt from Fashionbloggerrr. Paired it with a slightly flared and structured top which flatters Bump.
Sorry about Fighter’s wardrobe malfunction WTF dunno how his pants just dropped in public HAHAHAHAHA.
#6 Black
Actually this one is not really on purpose cos I don’t particularly like wearing black. But so happen all the clothes that fit me now are either black or white. D: Why ah! Is it cos black is supposed to be slimming?
Quite true though wtf.
Cannot see my Bump leh.
Bluff you wtf here it is.
Wearing an old dress from Miss Selfridge. It’s made of jersey and is stretchy which explains why I can still fit in it!
#7 Tutu skirts
Never thought of wearing one for pregnancy before but it works! Not if you want to conceal your tummy cos I find that tutu skirts actually emphasize the bump (cos of all the tulle I guess) but tutu skirts are usually elastic which makes them awesome for pregger coordinates.
Also like that you can still look dressy and quite elegant in them even though your abdomen is the size of a basketball.
OK that’s all I go sleep babai.
