Black on Black {Polka Dots}

The more pregnant I get, the more black I want to wear.  Maybe because my wardrobe options are starting to diminish even more now that I'm close to the finish line.  I love having this bump as an accessory, but gosh, I am so ready to fit in regular clothes again.

I wore this outfit to work today!  The classic black pumps add a more dressy, professional look, although they only lasted through my first morning meeting and then the flats came on! Usually, my number one rule for maternity dressing is good fitted clothes - basically showcase the bump! Otherwise, you'll just look extra round and frumpy.  But seriously, being 8 months preggo in this crazy SoCal heat, anything goes. This black cotton poka dot Zara top is not quite so fitted (even though its non-maternity), but its super comfy!  It is still flowy around my bump which is amazing.

What I'm wearing:
Zara top (Old) // Zara Leggings // YSL Cabas Chyc (Old) // Alice + Olivia Suede Pumps // Ray Ban Mirrored Aviator sunglasses // Forever 21 Necklace (Old)

Have a great Thursday!  Its almost the weekend...

Sunday Style

One of the most annoying pregnancy symptom is swollen feet; especially if you're like me and love to wear high heels, and well...cute shoes in general.  But sometimes, you gotta give in to your body and give those little piggies a rest!  I don't own a lot of flats so these Zara beauties are currently on repeat.

I had a lot of business meetings last week which requires a bit more effort in stylish corporate dressing, so this weekend I opted for a demure and comfy look.  You'll soon notice I'm totally obsessed with white blazers.  Dress them up, dress them down, it seriously works all around!!  I love this one from H&M - the buttons and and collarless structure makes it casual and nautical feeling.  Its perfect for a low key Sunday!  And I don't care - whether its appropriate or not, I will totally continue to wear white through Fall.

What's your Sunday Style?

Summer Reds + Baby Bump Update {26 Weeks}

Where did July go?!  I missed my last update {24 weeks} because I was somewhere between Croatia, German and Portugal.  So here we are - already at 26 weeks!  I feel like I say this every post…but seriously you guys, it’s going by so fast. 

The bump went through a little growth spurt since 22 weeks.  I went from people barely noticing I was preggers to people asking if it’s a boy or girl in a matter of days!  Luckily the rest of me stayed pretty much the same size and I’m still able to fit into cute non-maternity dresses, of course with a little stretch.

I wore this dress to dinner one night in Portugal.  Drop waist dresses don’t usually look great on me, but with this belly, somehow it works!  Unfortunately, I totally forgot the accessories I had already paired with this dress. The red goes so well with golds and turquoise accents bracelets and earrings.  It also gives it a more beachy, vacation feel.
