WhatIWore: I’m grateful I was pregnant during the summer. I loved wearing knit dresses and layering jackets. I’ve gone through my pregnancy archives and picked out some of my favorite maternity style trends. Pass along to your pregnant girlfriends for ideas!

Basic Black with Accessories I love the simplicity of a basic black knit dress and cute summer accessories. A light weight scarf or straw hat and skinny belt over your bump is an easy way to pull your look together. Above left, right

Printed Maxis None of these dresses were sold as maternity styles, but all worked great for a growing bump. Don’t limit yourself to pieces you can only wear while pregnant! Above top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right

Stripes Conventional fashion advice would tell you that horizontal stripes make you look wider and thus should be avoided. I’ll tell you otherwise. Girl! You’re pregnant and it’s a time to celebrate your expanding waistline! Stripes are a cute summer style and they work well for a pregnant body. Above left, right
