Pregnancy Style – Maternity Dresses

Pregnancy Style Week continues!

As I’ve said before – one of the maternity options I have been searching the hardest for is the perfect maternity dress. Once you’re nursing, dresses are very hard to wear and I miss wearing dresses!

Here are the dresses that have worked for me, or that I hope are going to work for me:

  1. Top Shop Maternity Stripe Tunic. Remember my 3-for-3 shopping success from Top Shop recently? I have used the striped tunic dress a few times already and I like it. It doesn’t photograph really well (beach ball warning), but it’s cute and comfy for everyday.
  2. Top Shop Maternity Bodycon Tunic. Since the striped tunic dress worked so well, I’m considering getting this grey one as well.
  3. Banana Republic Annie Faux Wrap Dress. I bought this a while back, in black (petite). As soon as I tried it one I realized it would be a great maternity dress so I put it away for a pregnant day and it has worked quite well.
  4. Hatch Collection Slouch Dress. I just ordered this hoping it will work well to dress up for evenings or dress down over leggings for everyday. I love the v-neck and the sapphire silk.
  5. Hatch Collection Gown. The silhouette of this dress looks quite flattering as a more formal gown – at least if you’re not pregers. I’m hoping it will be cute even with a bump. We have a wedding to pop into a couple of weeks after delivery and since it’s hard to foresee what size and shape I will be then, I’m hoping this will work for that occasion as well as for a couple of formal and semi-formal events that we have to go to during the last month or so of this pregnancy.
  6. Koka Mama Shirt Dress with Tie. This looks cute so I might get it.

  • Nonie doing a bit of reading (bike helmet user instructions) before heading out this morning.
  • For their last Mini 4H class today, the children groomed one of the ponies and then each got to go for a spin around the little farm. Louis will definitely attend another session of Mini 4H when there is one. He has loved going to learn about the animals each week.
  • Alec and Léonie had the best time playing together while Louis was at Mini 4H today. They spent almost an hour with this cart, working together and having so much fun.
  • When you somehow manage to get everyone out the door on time (Even a little bit early! On a Monday!) and spend the rest of the morning wondering what you missed.
  • Sunday morning in the garden. There has been so much going on that it feels like we haven't seen the children properly in days. So a slow Sunday morning, with lots of free play, a long lazy breakfast of berry smoothies and french toast, and some garden "work" was exactly what we needed. #suburbanbliss #sundaymorning
  • Nonie Pony playing while Louis is at mini 4H. She didn't nap today since she had a hard time settling in in the big stroller in the park so she was practically cross-eyes already when I picked her up. But Wednesdays at 4H have become a highlight for all of us the last few weeks.
  • Good morning suburbia! And the summer that won't stop. A little morning walk between dropping off Alec at school and going back to school for parent/teacher conference. 💛💛💛
  • My favourite month! Autumn is here but it's still warm and lovely. The kids were so suprised that it was dark when they went to bed this evening. They don't seem to remember how bad Swedish winters are because they were shocked when I told them it will soon be dark when we pick them up from school in the afternoon. I'm wondering if we will still feel like taking this shortcut through the cemetary then (which is actually a longer way that I take so that I don't have walk Léonie and Louis by the playground on the way from the bus to Alec's school).
  • Cake for breakfast! We rounded off our whirlwind weekend in the country with birthday celebrations for cousin Dante who turned 8!
  • Breakfast in the library this morning. The grown-ups' crayfish party went on pretty late last night but the kids had us (and by "us" I mean Sumit) up bright and early as usual.
