The First Day of Spring 2014

Finally! I recently got this dark blue floral scarf from Charlotte Russe and it's just the most versatile spring accessory. I was so excited to use my peach cardigan again. I paired it with this thrift store found Ann Taylor top along with this beautiful bubble necklace from Francesca's boutique.

My 34th Week of Pregnancy

I found this great Ellie Tahari top, Ann Taylor cardigan and Banana Republic polkadot top last St. Patrick's Day from a local thrift store. the gold necklace is from my chic jet setter great aunt who is married to a former Singapore Airlines exec. The other metallic necklace is from an Anthropologie clearance sale.

Be Here Now a.k.a. Remember That You Are Now 8 Months Pregnant

This outfit was inspired by a metaphysical/spiritual book by Ram Dass to remind people to stay in the moment at all times. As a pregnant woman in my last trimester, I always have to remind myself to stay present because anxiety can easily take over. The blazer and tunic are both from Discovery, and the skinny belt is from Forever 21.


A Long Cold Winter:in February

Faux Fur and Chunky Knitted Scarves are perfect for bigger bumps. The last trimester is not the time for wearing small scarves. Both vests were from Windsor. They have really great affordable classic and trendy accessories.

Last Valentine's Day Ideas

For Valentine's I didn't want to be so cliché. I chose to go feminine and floral with pink and purple. I used this hand me down pink long cardigan with this non-maternity wrap dress I got from Rag Stock a few years ago. The black pants are yoga pants, and I used a fitted black mini dress inside. The gray pants are Mimi Maternity from Goodwill. Wearing pants under a dress looks more proportional when you're bump is bigger. You don't want to look like a lollipop, plus it's warmer.

More Looks from February

Don't be afraid to make a statement with accessories and bright colors. Just because you're pregnant does not mean you have to always wear black and other dark colors. You're not in mourning!

Tunics and Turtlenecks

These are great combinations for the winter season, as long as you're not experiencing the "hot flash" phase yet. Tunics are great for camouflaging.

I used a gray turtleneck because I have dark hair. If you're blonde, then you can get away with a black turtleneck. The pink tunic was a surplus from Target's spring 2012 collection which I got from Salvation Army brand new. The other tunic is Eddie Bauer also from salvation Army. The size is bigger, I just folded the sleeves to hide this fact.
