i heart moms
Friday, August 27th, 2010My first blog! How appropriate that it be for mama style since I have been immersed in mama-culture for the last 14 months. What I learned about dressing for pregnancy and new mama-hood during that time, was that comfort was the most important factor, second only to NOT looking bigger than I already was! These are a few pieces that I think reflect comfort, style and simplicity. Enjoy!
The Stylish Mama In Waiting
The Stylish Mama In Waiting Jean I’ll leave you to decide about the heels…These pants are great because they are low enough to fit below the belly and don’t have that awful band that shows through t-shirts. JBrand.
The Stylish Mama In Waiting Boot It’s Ok to splurge here because you will be wearing these pre and post pregnancy. Good to have a comfortable stylish boot- to hide your swollen ankles…sigh. Jimmy Choo.
The Stylish Mama In Waiting Jean Jacket Since we are heading into fall let’s pair a jean jacket with our slim pants and long tee. Also, who cares about doing it up? It will look cute open. Acne.
The Stylish Mama In Waiting Tee You don’t need to buy maternity t-shirts. Buy large, if it fits. This one is from James Perse and I highly recommend investing in some comfy, good quality t-shirts. The cost will out-weigh the amount of times you wear and wash them pre and post baby.
The Mama in Waiting Tank Top If you do need a little extra room Heidi Klum makes some great maternity tops. I like the layers in this one. How cute will the jean jacket look over-top? Amazing!
The Stylish Mama In Waiting Leggings Ok, I put both in because you might want options. The print is seasonal and trendy. The black is basic but essential. Get both!! Stine Goya and Splendid Maternity.
The Stylish New Mama
The Stylish Mama Diaper Bag I looked high and low and this was the best one out there. Believe me. Cheaper than Gucci and less lame than anything with the name pickle in it. Note: you will bring it everywhere, you won’t use your purse anymore, you need it to go with anything and it needs to be washable. This one is Kate Spade.
The Stylish Mama Coat This one is perfect because it’s Stella McCartney- but you don’t have to spend a fortune. You want something comfortable and not tight. I suggest the non-puffy parka. You have the whole spring to wear a belted trench, relax in your parka…love that word.
The Stylish Mama Comfy Sweater Coat Love this kind of coat! Great for wearing with your gym clothes (to the gym) or jeans or on days when you don’t feel like getting dressed at all…but you NEED to get to Starbucks. This one is by Pleasure Principle.
The Stylish Mama Top Again invest in some good t-shirts. With all the liquids you need to be able to wash them frequently. This one is James Perse. Note the tank top underneath also good for the breast-feeding element.
The Stylish Mama Sunglasses I threw these in because they are so cool. And you should be cool, Mom. These are Karen Walker. Love Karen Walker.
The Stylish Mama Play Date Card Your new baby’s name with your number and email on the bottom. For all the new mom friends you’ll make…the cutest things in the whole world!! I just had to tell you about these. I’ll save my stationary advice for another blog. Felix Doolittle.
