Why I Started This Blog

I decided to start a blog to document the challenges and triumphs of staying stylish while sporting a bump. Being pregnant, women are expected to look plain and dull. I went to visit my Grandmother one day wearing a short dress and her reaction said it all. She looked at me with a surprise look and said, "You're pregnant, pregnant people are not suppose to look sexy!" Well grandma I beg to differ! The problem is the fashion worlds seems to agree with grandma. Very few really understand and offer solutions.

The explosion of pregnant celebrities proudly sporting a bump such as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Halle Berry just to name a few, created a new trend in fashion. It paved the way for pregnant moms to look yummy as they can be. The problem is, how do you get the look without breaking the bank. These women can look glamorous because they could afford to. If you go to a specialty store that offers maternity clothing, you'd have to pay a premium.

This is the challenge that I am more than willing to tackle. So I say, bring it on Grandma!

The First Challenge

My sister-in-law is getting married next month and I am in search of the perfect dress. This has been a really tough challenge as I am only on my 5th month of my pregnancy. If I buy it now, it may not fit me later on. If I shop later, I may not have enough time nor energy to find the perfect dress. Here are the styles that I'm loving so far but having a tough time finding something similar within my budget:





The first one is from the UK online store called Tiffany Rose and it costs approximately $450USD.

    A friend of mine went to a wedding when she was 5 months pregnant, and wore this HOT red dress. I don't think it was maternity - it was just a really gorgeous empire waist dress with a deep V-neck (for that lovely pregnancy cleavage!). It had enough room for her belly, and she looked amazing.

    That sounds sexy! I'm widening my search by just not focusing on maternity clothing stores. I'm shopping at regular stores but just trying on bigger sizes. Pre-pregnancy I was a size 4 now I can fit in a size 14. LOL!
