How To Plan Your Maternity Wardrobe

Choosing maternity wear is not a lot different to choosing normal clothes, but you do need to think more about how clothes will look once your bump has grown. You also need to think about comfort. Cotton separates, flowing dresses and comfortable loungewear is the way to go if you really want to relax into your pregnancy and thankfully there is a lot of maternity wear on the market that fits the bill perfectly.

This Spring, its all about bright hues, florals and most importantly comfort, so for all you moms-to-be out there, here are few pieces that every mom-to-be should think about when shopping…It will leave you feeling and looking like one hot mama-to-be.

1. Spring is brighter than ever – Don’t expect a day-glo orange, but rather a matte version that looks just as polished. Cue to Beyonce’s big reveal at the 2011 VMAs, who flaunted her baby bump in a fiery orange one-shoulder wrap dress.  (Try: Jules & Jim Women’s Maternity Sleeve Less Dress With Belt, $57)
2. So technically this isn’t a maternity dress, but a maxi dress is an essential piece for every mom-to-be. Not only is a maxi-dress comfy and stylish, but can worn from day to night. Pair it with a (sensible!) pair of heels or ballet flats to complete the look. (Try: Jessica Simpson Maxi Dress, $52.50) View Post

Last month, Ingrid & Isabel was one of the Fashion Forward Conference sponsors and I immediately feel in love with their maternity chic style during the fashion show segment and was stoked when I was also able to cope a few of their signature Bellyband that were on display, a maternity must-have.

Just the thought of layering on mounds of extra clothes this Fall season seemed almost daunting, so when I was sent over I&I’s Athena Maxi Dress for review, I couldn’t wait to debut my 6 month belly bump.  What’s great about this Maxi Dress is not only is it comfortable, but can be easily worn from day to night, either simply by adding a jean jacket, scarf or bedazzled jewels. The best part? Fashion longevity. Because they are inherently drapey, these dresses will look great during your pregnancy and afterwards.

To change the look of your Maxi Dress from day to night, simply add these showstopping pieces.
