maternity style/01







wearing: top - pink blush maternity, j. crew leggings, sam edelman louie boot - aka the most comfortable booties ever

When I started shopping for maternity clothes I have to admit, I was seriously bummed out by one thing: the clothes are, in general, extremely matronly.  Dresses mostly hit below the knee (at least on me, I'm 5'3), low necklines are hard to find, and a lot of tops are drapey and oversized.  When I'm already feeling bigger than usual, the last thing I want is to look schlubby in clothes that I'm swimming in (except maybe during a weekend Netflix marathon).  This struck me as a really odd phenomenon, because a lot of women who are pregnant are in their late twenties, so I'd assume most still want to look cute and even - dare I say - sexy while they're pregnant.  

So I was pretty thrilled when I found out about Pink Blush Maternity.  They have an amazing selection of cute tops - all plenty long enough to pair with leggings (my current favorite thing to wear) and all totally affordable.  Most of their items are under $30.  This top is the first thing I picked up from them, but it certainly won't be the last.  I'm eyeing a few dresses right now - particularly this body & bump conscious lace option that would be perfect for a holiday party.  

note: their clothes run small!  if you are normally a medium, get a large, etc.  their size chart is accurate, which is the only thing that guided me to go a size up, so definitely check it out.  

*all opinions and ideas in this post are my own - i was not compensated or even asked by pink blush to promote their line, i just really like it!

style # 1 : autumn apparel



Nothing terribly trendy or exciting here, but these are some of my favorite pieces for fall, most of which I already own (although those oxfords are on my list...)
Those sweatpants get lots of wear from me indoors & out, the burgundy trousers come in multiple colors and never has there existed a more flattering pant, and the leather boots are from TARGET, less then $75, and gorgeous in every shade.  
I would say, although perhaps the least exciting item on the page, the one you must go out and get right away are the tights - there is no other pair in black that manages to be so completely opaque and also entirely matte.  Nothing I hate more than when I can see my reflection in my stockings.
