I have gotten many compliments (mainly in person) on how great I look for my stage of pregnancy, in every stage so far. I decorated my belly cutely, professionally, and comfortably without breaking my bank. Here is how:
1. Cardigans and Sweaters and Blazers, Oh My!
During months 1-6, I could literally hide my pregnancy with a knit cascading cardigan that I had in my closet (like this one) or an oversized sweater my dad bought me at Walmart on sale for I believe $13
I would wear a tank top, pants/leggings/jeans and you couldn't tell I was carrying a baby. Now that you can definitely tell I am pregnant, I still wear my cardigan and sweater as they compliment my bump perfectly.
Recently, I have gone back to wearing blazers because they are super cute with baby bumps.

I saw how great celebs looked with a blazer and had a few handy so I wore them even if they did not button because no one, I repeat, NO ONE, can tell you nothing hehehe. Plus, a blazer can make your whole outfit look a lot more work-worthy without even trying.
2. Maternity Pants
Let me just say I FREAKING LOVE MATERNITY PANTS AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE WITHOUT THEM.... In the very beginning I had no problem fitting into my clothes because my little man was the whopping size of a poppyseed. After a couple of months, I wore my jeans and work I already had by simply using some rubber bands to hold them together while making them a little bigger just like this....
It worked for awhile, just in time for my maternity pants to be delivered. I didn't necessary need to start wearing maternity pants so early, but I did because, again, I FREAKING LOVE THEM AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE WITHOUT THEM!!!
I got used maternity pants for cheap on SWAP.COM. They were in great condition and fit perfectly.
I would suggest getting maternity pants because when your bottoms fit great, the rest of your outfit is easier.
I tried to buy oversized pants with one pair of pants that were on sale for $10 at Rue21 and it was a disaster. I got size 11 and they don't fit my waist or my legs (too big) comfy but not cute at all. The last thing I should worry about is my pants slipping off my waist, right? So get some maternity pants and you can rock any top with them - form fitting, loose fitting.
3. Dresses
Dresses have been my favorite outfit. I have worn dresses with leggings, panty hose, or my bare legs. They are so comfy.
You can wear a loose fitting, vibrant dress with cute shoes like this....
or a form fitting dress like this (got on sale at target for $7)
or a simple jersey dress (I have tons)...
Dresses are always cute and comfy!!! plus, they fit even with a baby bump!
These are my 3 tips to compliment that beautiful baby bump with very little effort and money spent.
I feel best when I look best, especially at work. Don't get me wrong, I don't rock my bump cutely all day, everyday. Catch me after work or on Sunday's in my yoga pants, t-shirts, and Nikes.
What are your pregnancy-go-to outfits?
