I’m a bit behind on the second rendition of my Elegant Expecting series, but better late than never!
This look was from a recent date-night that hubby and I had with another couple/friend of ours. I must say, these occasions are becoming quite rare!!! Yet another thing to work...
It’s quite interesting for me to look back at myself from just a few weeks ago, it’s truly like night and day!! I thought I was so huge back then… and yet this is NOTHING compared to the size of my growing belly now. In fact, last night my little guy pointed at me and said, “why is your belly so big?” (As hubs made a “I’m not going to say a word” look whilst standing next to our three year old son).
Sigh – toddlers, you gotta hand it to them for being honest.
While this dress is not a maternity dress, per se – it’s definitely a look I recommend for ladies at the height of their second trimester for sure (in fact, I wore the same label during my Week 22 look here at the Chuang Yen Monastery). It’s got a fun pattern, but still streamlined enough to give you a clean silhouette even at 6 months pregnant (I highly discourage against fringes and other unnecessary details at this stage). I actually wore a similar dress during an outing last year at the Heckscher farm (see post here).
Jazz it up with some fun accessories (shoes last seen here, and clutch here) – and I was good to go!!! Definitely felt like a “special” night for this mamma.
P.S. We went full out for high-style pizza at Marta. Shockingly, Marta is also one of those places that don’t take tips, much like my recent experience at Sushi Yasuda. Is this fast becoming a trend in NYC dining? Stay tuned.
