Isabel Maternity

TOP | PANTS | SANDALS

If only I had known about Isabel Maternity at Target earlier in my pregnancy, I might actually own the entire line. Good news for my bank account, I only scooped up a few key pieces, including this floral top and pair of black jeans.

I needed a few styles to get me through the end of the third trimester, and Isabel Maternity did the trick. This post is not sponsored by the way, I’m just hoping someone else can find the line in time to look stylish for the remainder of their pregnancy. A key shopping tip would be to look and purchase online. Unfortunately Target doesn’t carry a large amount of maternity styles in store, so shopping online is your best bet.

I absolutely can’t get enough of these summer, maternity finds. I’ve worn this outfit to work, and out to lunch and dinner with friends. It’s easy and casual, and doesn’t scream maternity wear to me. Thank goodness maternity clothes have come a long way since our Mom’s had us.

Golden Hour

DRESS | SANDALS

There’s something so special about a little yellow dress. This golden, floral print dress is just that; special. I love how it flows and drapes so effortlessly over my growing baby bump, and I love how comfortable it is, for any occasion. It’s hard to believe this style is only $19!

Although this piece is not technically a maternity style, it is perfectly oversized, allowing it to be a great maternity option. If you’re shopping this dress for yourself, be sure to read the measurements, and I recommend sizing down.

No matter what you have planned this summer, you need a few dresses hanging in your closet that are versatile and easy to style. This is an ideal option if you ask me. I will definitely be hanging on to it for post-maternity wear, too.

Embroidered Peplum Tee

EMBROIDERED TEE | JEANS

It’s been a while since I sported an embroidered piece, but this adorable, embroidered peplum tee was too hard to pass up. I primarily ordered it to wear post-pregnancy, but once I received it, I thought why not make it a maternity top too.

For ONLY $13 this embroidered style will easily become your new casual favorite. I’ve never met a tee I didn’t like, so this piece will be in heavy rotation throughout the remainder of the summer.

Styled today with maternity jeans and a slip on sandal, I’d like to think this is a no-brainer look for the weekend or casual Friday at work. I can also envision this embroidered tee with a pair of distressed shorts and white sneakers, or with a basic midi skirt and heels.

Affordable finds like this make shopping and styling outfits so much fun. I love how versatile a $13 top can be, and I’m an even bigger fan of quality stitching and fabrication. This piece is a WINNER.

Floral Tunic Dress

I’ve been eyeing this Amazon Fashion find for some time now, and finally decided it was worth the purchase. It’s definitely an affordable piece, but I wasn’t initially sold on the quality, based on the reviews I read.

I’m here to tell you, the quality is just fine, and I absolutely love this dress for the rest of my pregnancy and post-pregnancy. I even went on Amazon and purchased it in the blue color.

A floral tunic dress like this one is super versatile, and can be styled according to your personal style. If you are more boho, you can add a belt and booties. You can also easily style this tunic dress with white sneakers, over a pair of skinny white jeans with gladiator sandals, or with a simple wedge heel. Your options are pretty much endless, and you can’t go wrong with this dress.

I’m so glad I quit hesitating and finally pulled the plug on this floral tunic dress. I might even wear it to an upcoming baby shower (if I’m allowed off bedrest). Fingers crossed, because I can’t wait to wear it again.
