The Ten Commandments of Pregnancy Style (5)

Welcome to the Ten Commandments of Pregnancy Style!  It is now June — wedding and shower season, time to think about dressing up!

 This is the fifth 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

4. Layer in Color and Texture

And now:

5. Consider your Schedule

As you add on to your wardrobe, it is key that you look ahead to what your schedule holds for you and shop around it. If special occasion wear is called for – be sure to find pieces with range. This season’s Maxi-dress is a personal favorite as it dresses up and down with ease. The LBD (little black dress) does have a place here – just be sure to accessorize with care and conviction (make it count)!  The goal is to wow the crowd and show off your bump with glowing pride. When I think of stunning Red Carpet looks (expectant or not), images of  the ever-beautiful Heidi Klum comes to mind. I decided to spend this commandment shopping through her collection at Pea in the Pod:

Lavish by Heidi Klum Strapless Empire Seam Maxi-dress $175

Lavish by Heidi Klum Sleeveless Empire Seam Maxi-dress $128

Lavish by Heidi Klum Sleeveless Shiring Detail $48.99
