I have a corporate job that requires me to look presentable and professional on daily basis. No issue for me, I LOVE getting dressed up, but as I started to look at "maternity" clothes I noticed that most are rather shapeless and a bit frumpy looking. I'm sure they're pretty comfortable (and I totally see that as a win), but I feel a sense of responsibility to bring my A-game to the office. As such, I decided to document some of my cute work-week outfits as a bit of inspiration for other women in the workplace.
I don't plan on spending a ton on clothes I'll wear for only a few months, so I'm sure things will start to get a bit creative, but I'll share my tips and tricks and hopefully we all end up a bit more fashionable in the end!
We'll start with this ADORABLE shirt dress. I'll begin by fessing up and admit first off that this is NOT a maternity dress, and secondly that it's not even mine! I totally swiped this adorable Lilly out of my sister's closet. But, just because it's designer doesn't mean she overpaid for it - oh no! This lovely dress was a mere $35 on consignment!
A few basic things to note here....shirt dresses are awesome because they're naturally not fitted! you can tie the dress up higher over your bump if need be. Secondly, cute accessories! I paired some cute navy wedges with pearls and pulled off a perfectly Southern ensemble. Don't try to do too much, keep it simple, comfortable, and cute! Half the battle is feeling good through this whole baby incubation process, and I certainly feel better when I look amazing!
