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:
We did it! We moved Crosby into her new bedroom over the weekend... so far, so good... or about as good as can be expected while she's teething and going through a sleep regression. No one is getting a full night's rest around here these days. Now that we have less than seven weeks until baby boy is due, it's crunch time to get the nursery ready. I wore this outfit on Sunday when we officially made the room switch, snapped a mirror selfie and got so many questions about where my overalls and other pieces were from, I knew I had to shoot it for a blog post.

Over the weekend I was feeling so blah and uninspired with the current rotation of things that fit me. I decided to shop my closet, if you will, and put together this look with pieces that are all a couple of years old. Sometimes I think I have these pregnancy wardrobe delusions where I put something on thinking it will still fit the way it did a few months/weeks/days ago and then get frustrated when that's not the case. So I went back to some old faithfuls that worked my first pregnancy and was happy and comfortable all day.

Once you get to a certain point, a really hard part of pregnancy is getting dressed. I'm not the biggest fan of maternity clothes and try my hardest to wear my pre-pregnancy stuff as much as possible. Of course some things are no longer an option, like my fav high-waisted Levis with tops tucked in. But I did have a few pairs of jeans that were still (somehow) fitting... until recently. After the first of the year nothing was comfortable anymore. Enter the Bellaband. Now I can wear my favorite stretchy jeans un-zipped and un-buttoned and NO ONE has to know.
Happy Monday! We had rain allll weekend and it's supposed to continue into the week. So today I'm sharing a sunnier look from a much warmer and dryer day. I'm convinced this is the $15 dress everyone needs for spring - pregnant or not. It's not maternity and so flattering, either way. When it gets warm I'm always reaching for easy pieces like this that are comfortable and can be worn multiple ways.
