Weekend Wear: Pearl of a Saturday
Nothing makes me happier than days that I can walk around comfortably holding and drinking an iced coffee. If winter was always in the 50s I'd be a happy chick. Less layers and still be able to drink ice coffee...winning. I'm so happy that I decided to buy this Zara sweater tunic, it was on sale and I couldn't pass up the pearls on the sleeves. Plus, a price tag of $15. I have feeling this will be in high rotation in my wardrobe even post pregnancy.

Style Guide: How to Wear Non-maternity Clothes While Pregnant
1. Look for clothing with a stretch. This Free People top is super stretchy and soft. Mostly made of polyester with some rayon and polyester. Stretchy doesn't mean tight. Make sure that you feel comfortable, don't feel like you are squeezing you and tummy. This goes for tops and dresses. Opt for ribbed texture materials.
2. Length is important. Stretchy and long is super important when wearing a top with a bump. You want it to fit all the way over the bump securely concealing you maternity waist band.
3. As for dresses...Opt for under the bust flowy dresses or flowy dresses in general; like this boho flowy Free People dress or this loose fitted oversize t-shirt dress from ASOS. I also like maxi dresses that are button down and are loose..which are perfect if you plan on breast feed.
4. Try on in store. To feel more secure about your purchases, try shopping in-store so you can feel the material and try it on (bring in a couple of sizes into the fitting room with you).
5. Shop maternity stores that have clothes that have transitional clothing. PinkBlush being one of my favorite boutiques have dresses and tops that take you from bump to post bump. Also have functional clothing that takes you to nursing.

I know it's been awhile since I did a post. No, I'm not abandoning you or the this blog. Truth be told, it's been way to cold here in New York and me taking off my jacket to reveal any outfits was just not happening. So I've been waiting for some warmer days, like this past weekend. It's amazing how up 40s low 50s can feel so good after being in the 20s and below for weeks. This weekend the husband and I laid low. We had a day date on Sunday and started some more baby prep on Sunday. Of course, since it was so nice out on Sunday I took advantage of it and took a stroll to one of our favorite bakeries in the hood for pastries and an iced coffee. I hoping the weather stays like this for some time so that I can continue to do post.

Style Guide: Velvet Maternity Dress
One thing that I've learned while being pregnant is that I don't have to give up fashionable clothes or even trends for drape maternity clothes. I've been loving the velvet trend this season so I was excited to see that maternity velvet dresses popping up. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase one especially around the holiday season.

I decided to take this pretty dressy velvet dress more casual on a cold NYC day. Paired with booties and a long cardigan for a day to night look. For a more dressy occasion or even a baby shower this dress would look great with a cute pair of pumps or a little pair of flats.
