The Ten Commandments of Pregnancy Style (4)

Welcome to the Ten Commandments of Pregnancy Style!  Today, I write  poolside on Memorial Day. So first, a special thank you to all who have served and sacrifced for our Country.  And, a big welcome to the summer of 2010.

This is the fourth  of a ten part series in which I will share my tricks of the trade for building a  better maternity wardrobe.

So far we’ve covered:

1. Choose Carefully

2. Infuse Trend Wisely

3.  Flatter yourself

And Now:

4. Layer in Color and Texture

Hiding out in basic black is no way to celebrate your Forty Weeks of style.All of that great anticipation and excitement needs to show. Color and texture are not only an easy and affordable short cut to keeping your maternity look fun and true to your fashion form, they also bring out your most sunning features including that incredible pregnancy glow. In honor of  Pickles & Ice Cream opening their beautiful new Charlotte Store – I took a little virtual spree to find the color and texture to help you welcome the season(and plan for your labor day)  in style!
