Style Diary: What To Wear To Work While Pregnant

January 2, 2013
What I Wore to Work

2012 was an exciting year for me:

became an owner, no longer renting
moved
changed last name to mark the 1 year (paper) anniversary
changed jobs
traveled to Thailand, Cambodia, DC, MI, PA, DE, IL (twice), Japan, Vegas
explored Governor’s island, Fire Island and Long Island
attended 3 weddings. saw ours published.
sponsored 25 fashion shows
Managed over 100 events
survived Hurricane Sandy
Thanks to the pregnancy, learned to live with nausea, vomiting, hunger, heartburn, cravings, congestion, constipation, fatigue, headaches, sleep deprivation, dehydration, endless doctor appointments and an additional 18lbs

Figuring out what to wear to work while pregnant has been a daily challenge. What fits one week may no longer fit the next. Here is an outfit from around 26 weeks pregnant.

H&M cardigan, Donna Morgan dress from TJMaxx, Aldo purse and Via Spiga shoes

I hope you all had great years too and wish you the best for 2013!

Style Diary: 1 Shoshanna Dress 5 Ways

November 28, 2012
1 item styled various ways , Maternity Fashion , Style

Do you ever look through your wardrobe and feel totally blah thinking you have absolutely nothing to wear? Well change it up! Shop your closet and re-style what you already own. Wear the outfit with different shoes, and accessories. Add a blazer, a scarf or a cardigan. Think about how to belt it differently and what other colors would match the current palette.

That’s the idea behind my Style Diary series where I style 1 dress, 1 skirt, 1 top multiple ways. Here’s a new example using my versatile, camel- colored Shoshanna dress bought at Saks. The classic cut and neutral color lends itself as a timeless basic that I can wear endless ways.

Today (at 6months pregnant), I wore the dress all layered up cuz darnit it’s getting cold in NY! The brown tights featured here however were not made for my giant belly. Therefore, the waistband kept falling for it failed miserably to stay anywhere near my my protruding belly. Unable to stay afloat on top of my giant waistline, slowly through the day with each step, the waistband rolled lower and lower and lower.. so much so that the crotch was practically between my knees making me feel like I had just taken a dump in my tights. Note to self, invest in some maternity tights! Here I am looking perturbed just thinking about how uncomfortable the tights were.

Pictured above is the Gianfranco Ferre fur-trimmed swing coat that my mom loaned me over Thanksgiving break. I topped my outfit today with it. It’s the perfect maternity coat since it will grow with my expanding belly! The suede chocolate booties were a TJMaxx find.

For a spring-ier look, I added this coral scarf that I bought in Thailand, a contrasting lime green clutch and spikey leopard heels.

These shoes are KILLER. They’re sexy, edgy and dangerous weapons for your feet. Mostly though they will KILL your feet! I can’t stand in them for longer than 1hour before wanting to wimper in a corner and beg for a massage. Alas, they’re so beautiful I can’t get rid of them either.
