Style Diary: What to Wear to Work (While Pregnant)

I have a new fashion challenge.  I hardly have any pants or skirts that fit thanks to my expanding waistline and suddenly the figure-hugging tops and shift dresses are making me feel unnecessarily fat.  I’m in that weird 4month stage where I’m not pregnant looking enough to score a seat on the subway yet.  I just look like I have a fat old beer belly.

Here is one outfit that I found to actually still fit…somewhat. If you look closely, you’ll see that the buttons on my shirt are about ready to pop and the same goes for my pant waistline.

Pretty soon, all I’ll be wearing are A-line and tent dresses, and blouse-y loose tops and maternity bottoms so it is nice to be able to wear regular clothes while I can.

More on my recent Century 21 haul where I bought clothes for my new body later.  (Happy birthday to me!)  I hope you’re all having a great week!

What’s a house dress you ask? House dresses go back to pre and post-war years where housewives purchased simple patterned, machine washable dresses.  Like moo moo dresses, they are loose, comfortable and effortless.  Allowing for ease of movement they’re super functional while still looking ladylike.  And these days, there seems to be a resurgence in this classic cut.  Mine shown here was a thrifted vintage piece that I’m selling on Poshmark (follow me @stylishlystella).
