Plus One

Things are going to get a little bit bigger around here—literally. We are expecting a baby in early February and could not be more excited...

I've started to transition maternity wear into my daily rotation and have found a few really great pieces that I plan on wearing throughout my entire pregnancy.

My plan for dressing the bump is to keep it easy, comfortable, and polished. I'm hoping to add a few versatile pieces (like this dress) that can be layered or worn solo. So far, Gap maternity has been a real savior. Their denim and dresses are super comfortable and the fit is outstanding.

To no-one's surprise, this long vest will be a staple for me this fall/winter. In fact, any vest or long sweater that I can throw over a fitted top or tee is pretty much my jam.

Dress: Gap (non-maternity version) / Vest: Nordstrom (love this one) / Boots: rag & bone / Sunglasses: Gucci

My goal going forward is to continue to dress like I do now, but with room for one more. I'll be focusing on maternity style, but definitely plan on linking lots of non-maternity options too. This won't turn into a baby blog and I'm still planning on posting my Pick of the Week on Fridays. I'm new at this and I expect that getting dressed might get a bit tough, but that's what shoes and hats are for, right? Also, stay tuned for a few exciting upcoming posts. I'll be helping to judge the Fall 2015 AOL Beauty Awards  to help pick the best skin care products for the upcoming season. You don't want to miss it.
