12 Pairs Of Split Hem Pants

October 4, 2021 by ashadmin No Comments

A big trend I’m noticing this fall is split hem pants. They’re everywhere right now from faux leather, to leggings to denim. They’re so flattering and really elongate your legs. While I’ve mostly been seeing this trend done with black, other colors are also coming out to play. I’ve put together a round up below of 12 different pairs in different price points and materials – and most are under $100.

What to Wear to a Wedding When You’re Pregnant

April 8, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

Although I didn’t attend any weddings this pregnancy, I’ve gotten quite a few questions about bump-friendly wedding guest dresses and thought it would make a fun post. I’m rounding up my favorites for everything from the casual wedding to black tie along with several bridesmaids options thrown in as well.

Casual:

If you’re going to a daytime wedding I think Pink Blush has some really pretty options. This one being at the top of my list, so pretty for a spring or summer outdoor casual wedding.

This dress comes in so many colors and could easily be dressed up or down.

This dress is SO flattering, it has 5 color options and is under $70.

A really pretty casual maxi. Love the color and think the fit would be perfect with a bump.

Wrap dresses work well with a smaller bump. Love this one that comes in several prints.

Cocktail:

Such a pretty dress for a spring or summer wedding. The pleats would be so flattering with a bump!

Love this dress that comes in 6 colors (obviously avoid the beige).

A pretty pink dress you could really twirl in… on sale for $24!

Loving this lavender dress for spring and summer weddings.

This maxi dress would be pretty for a summer wedding.

Formal:

I typically don’t love printed dresses for formal options, but this red one is sooo pretty. Throw on some strappy heels and you’re good to go!

This dress would be stunning for a formal wedding and it’s under $60!

I love this beaded kimono option and the color is so pretty.

Loving this sage green lace dress.

Bridesmaid (lots of these would also work for formal):

This one is so pretty and would work with various stages of the bump.

Another neutral colored dress if you’re looking for something a little shorter.

I think this one would be really pretty if you’re wanting green.

A super glam option with lots of color options.

A pretty gray option that can be tied multiple ways.

This one is sooo pretty and it also comes in blush.

Loving this high-neck maxi – color is really pretty too!

Such a sweet option – I love the sleeves and ruffles.

Not maternity but I think this one would be really flattering with a bump. I would go up a size.

This one would also be really pretty if you’re looking for a floral print.

Thanks for reading – hope you have a great day!

Baby Shower Dresses

February 11, 2019 by ashadmin No Comments

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about baby shower dress inspiration and thought it would make for a fun blog post. Early on in my pregnancy I decided I wasn’t having a shower this time around. I was pregnant with Crosby exactly two years ago and was blessed with two beautiful showers for her. We have a lot we can reuse on baby boy and I’m often sent new products to try out. There’s really no need for another shower.

I will admit, as I got further along in this pregnancy I realized the shower is for more than just the stuff. When you don’t have one it makes your pregnancy almost feel anti-climatic and a little sad that there’s no celebration. But that’s probably the pregnancy hormones talking.

Let’s talk baby shower dresses! 

First of all, don’t feel like you have to wear a maternity dress for your shower. For my first baby shower I actually ended up finding my dress at Forever 21 (see the blog post here). There are so many cute options that are non-maternity and still work with a growing bump.

I love this dress (also comes in black) for a shower. It looks super comfy and would be so flattering with a baby bump.

Another favorite from Free People is this dress (comes in ivory too). The square neckline is a fun touch, but the dress itself is so flattering. I love a tighter dress with a slit with a baby bump. I’m thinking about ordering it for maternity photos in a few weeks.

I think wrap dresses can be really flattering for pregnancy. This one is really pretty and would work great with a bump.

I took a deep dive down the Forever 21 site to find the best bump-friendly dresses. First we have this one that I actually wore in our family photos last fall. I went with a small and there was still plenty of room for a bump and think it will actually fit better now. I also love this one with the crochet top. This flounce maxi, this baby blue one, this sweet one with the floral print and this leopard print slip dress. My tip for purchasing from F21 or really any non-maternity dresses is to go up at least one size. When in doubt order 2 different sizes just in case.

As far as maternity dresses go, my favorite place to shop for them is Asos. I got my blush baby shower dress there two years ago (see post here). Lots of the maternity dresses are just maternity versions of regular dresses on their site and the others are usually cute too. This one is so pretty. Another one I love is this one. It’s actually really similar to the dress I wore.

Pink Blush is another maternity go-to of mine. Their dresses are cute and flattering for pregnancy. Love this one (it comes in green and blue too) and think it would be perfect for a shower. This off-the-shoulder dress is another option I love.

Flirty Red Dress

January 24, 2019 by ashadmin 2 Comments

The weather is warming up and I’m getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit over here. Love a fun dress for V-Day and when I saw this one I knew it would be perfect. It’s not maternity and doesn’t have a lot of stretch so I went up 2 whole sizes and it actually fits great! This bump is getting so big, if I want to wear non-maternity I definitely need to size up.

sunglasses, denim jacket, dress c/o, similar shoes 

I tracked down some other festive dresses that I think would be so cute with or without a bump #pregsandregs 

  • This one is perfect and under $15. It comes in two colors and I think I want to order both.
  • Instagram’s favorite non-maternity maternity dress. Ha! But it’s so flattering pregnant or not. Love this color for Valentine’s Day.
  • A similar vibe to the one I’m wearing and only $20. Definitely size up if you’re pregnant.
  • This one is more of a rust color but I love the shape and the subtle ruffle at the bottom. And it looks so comfortable!
  • If you’re looking for something fancier, this one is a great option. I have it in a few colors and think it would definitely work with a bump too. Again, size up.
  • Obsessed with this one. The details are so dainty and pretty and love the print.
  • This one would be really cute with tights or boots if you live somewhere colder.

And because kids are even more fun to dress, I got this dress for Crosby. Gymboree is going out of business so I popped in the other day and picked up a few things. I also got her two cute t-shirts: here and here and these socks to match. Their sale is happening online too and there’s a lot for an additional 50% off.

Floral Sundress

July 5, 2017 by ashadmin No Comments

Happy 5th of July! Hope you had a good long weekend. We’ve been on vacation all weekend and are soaking it all up before it’s back to reality. It was our second time leaving town with Crosby and wow, is it hard to pack the car with all the stuff we need. We were sweating and definitely needed a drink once we got to our destination. #FirstTimeParents
