Stylish Bumps and Tots: Bow Crazy!!!

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!

Bow Crazy!!!

A few minutes of online shopping on etsy.com and a few tutorial videos on youtube, this is what I came up with. LOL! I grabbed every different style and sizes of ribbons I can find from a nearby Dollarama and started working with my glue gun. These are clip ons so they can be used on headbands, on dresses or as is. I made them as clip ons just in case my daughter comes out with no hair. Oh gosh! You must think I'm crazy.
