We are headed into warmer weather and if you happen to be expecting, I put together a style board to keep you cool and stylish all summer! I have three kiddos and for two of them I was pregnant through the summer.
Personally, I invested in a few good maternity staples, but really tried to make due with as many non maternity pieces as possible (cardigans, roomy dresses etc.).
As always, the links on the style boards and throughout the blog post are affiliate links. This means that while the product is the same cost to you, I may make a small commission and it allows me to continue to provide this inspiration for free. Thank you for supporting me, I really appreciate it!
Click on the image of the style board to shop everything shown together on the board. I have also included links to individual items that coordinate or complete the looks on the board and you can shop those by clicking directly on the image. If something is sold out, please email me and I am happy to send you an alternative.
I curated outfits for a variety of occasions, from baseball game or BBQ to baby shower.
Starting on the left side of the board. Let me just say, I LOVED maternity pants – so comfortable! A pair of maternity boyfriend denim and tank tops are great for casual everyday. Complete the look with a pair of tennis shoes.
The next look is a mint colored drawstring skirt and tank, layered with a beautiful floral kimono. This is an example of how I incorporated non maternity items during my pregnancies. I would wear maternity bottoms and a tank top and then change up my look with light weight kimonos or cardigans that would work post partum. Bold accessories like earrings, hats and scarves also add style without having to fit a growing bump.
The outfit in the middle of the board could be for work or a summer date night. White denim paired with a blush short sleeve blouse with a flattering v-neck detail. To complete this look, simple yet stylish slides look really good and eliminate the need for tying or buckling!
A maxi dress is an easy way to keep cool and stay comfortable all summer long. This is another area in your wardrobe you can usually get away with sizing up for a bit roomier non-maternity dress to get more wear later on. Layer on a denim jacket for cooler evenings or sun coverage when needed. Short knit dresses are versatile for a summer pregnancy as well!
Finally, the amazing blush maxi in the top right corner! This is the most expensive piece on this board, but can work for baby showers, summer weddings, or maternity pictures. I found a few other items while styling this board:
In the end, you are growing an actual human person, so wear whatever makes you feel amazing!
