Maternity Week Day 4: All Dressed Up

One of the most difficult outfits to coordinate while pregnant is the dressed-up look. It seems nearly impossible to find dresses that do not make you look even bigger, or that too heavily reflect dated styles.  The common mistake as well is to find something that fits loosely, which in turn only makes you look larger.

The key with dressing up is finding a well fitting style without it being too snug.  It may be helpful to find a piece that accentuates a great feature (like thin arms, legs, or decolletage) while maintaining a slimmed silhouette.  In many ways maternity dressing is like non-maternity, just with a large bump in the middle!

Here are some great dresses, maximizing style and minimizing frump.

As an alternative to dresses, pairing a skirt with a great top can be very easy as well, not to mention versatile with the use of several different tops.

Work it Wednesday- Celebrity Edition

Today's Work it look comes from the adorable Kim Kardashian....




Ok, so "adorable" doesn't exactly fit... I'll be the first to admit I love her style but I frankly can't stand any of her antics or vain personality. While she might not be able to stay married for 6 months to save her life, the girl can put together a great outfit.

This look has been on my mind for some time, but I attempted to make it a little more conservative while still maintaining the great color palette. In addition, there are different styling options as well.

(Note: The skirt pictured is not on sale online, but IS marked down in stores!)

ASOS offers a similar skirt for a lot less, in a ultra chic pencil style as well.
