Happy weekend, loves! I’m feeling extra giddy today, because my baby shower is this weekend and I have so many of my favorite people in town. Baby bliss! Hence, it’s only fitting to talk maternity style today, and all my favorite places to shop for pregnancy clothes.

As a first time mama-to-be, I really struggled with where to find the best clothing for my growing belly (and growing everything). A number of outfits I thought I’d rock while pregnant just didn’t work. My body was changing in so many crazy ways, that I hard time keeping up with what worked on my new figure. The truth is, different styles work best at different times.

At the start, billowy tops, maxi dresses + a-line silhouettes were my bestie because they gave me extra room, while masking a a little bump I wasn’t sharing with the world yet. Later in pregnancy, I have really enjoyed wearing fitted jersey dresses and off-the-shoulder tops that show off the little babe cooking inside me.

In hopes to help out other mamas-to-be, I wanted to share my favorite places to shop for maternity clothes (hint: they’re not all pregnancy-specific stores)! I partnered with Bump Club & Beyond on this post, to share even more fashion hacks. Wander over to their site to see five pregnancy style staples I can’t live without…
