First of all- if you are expecting a huge congrats! You are going through such an exciting time of your life, it’s a 9 month journey and i’m here to help you dress the bump for the summer.
When I was pregnant with Jake I didn’t really have the extra money to spend on maternity clothes- I also always thought it was a huge waste of money to spend on maternity pieces given you only wear them for 9 months. However, I did splurge on ONE pair of denim.
My pregnancy was a whole different story with Chloe- because of Zika. I lived in long sleeve and long pants and ended up buying around 4 pairs of jeans- one black, one white, and two pairs of denim.
I think jeans are the most important piece when preggers and it’s ok to splurge on a couple of great denim. My favorite way to wear my denim on casual days was to pair it with a tight tank top and an opened button down top. There are different styles of jeans you can get- and I am personally not a fan of the denim with the side stretch low rise- I just never thought it was that comfortable. I like the denim with the band that goes over your belly, I just find it to be more comfortable and you can wear them as your belly grows.
Dresses are such a great way to dress the bump and such an easy thing to throw on- you can dress them up or down, depending on where you are going! During the summer heat they are also the best thing to wear because they are airy. All of the dresses that I linked are able to be worn after your pregnancy as well.
Lets be real here- the most comfortable thing to wear are leggings- and I wore the most amazing pair that I still wear to this day.. They go over your bump or you can roll them down. Eventually as your bump gets bigger you can tuck a tee into the legging.
During my pregnancy with Jake when I was around 30 weeks I had a hard time walking- because of the pressure, so I lived in Birkenstocks- to this day I wear them. I rarely wore heels and if I did it was a tiny kitten heel. BUT if you can wear heels and be comfortable go for it. Shop below must haves during your pregnancy!
