In my attempts to look cute when I'm not rocking this maternity uniform, I started to wonder how everyone else was dressing up their bumps.
What's been your favorite thing to wear this pregnancy? What do you like to lounge around in?
Spill your favorite bump-styling secrets!

Do you guys have favorite brands of maternity t-shirts? I'm at the point where my favorite "used to be loose" tunics don't fit over the bump anymore.. sigh. Time to grab a few more basics..

H&M "Mama" nylon tights are great under basically any dress. I also have H&M Mama basic tanks and they're amazing-- no Cami because those cut the circulation off to mah boobs. The straps are wide enough to cover my actual bra straps underneath.
And Cole Hann flats with Nike air cushion. Every day.

Typically I paid full panel dress pants or cords with a light sweater, or a dressy camo with pre-pregnancy cardigan and a chunky necklace because I love chunky jewelry. Shoes are usually flats or some super comfy wedges that still fit.
Fridays & weekends are similar but with dark wash skinny or boot cut maternity jeans & boots or flats.
Lounging at home is always yoga pants or pj pants.

@chicsugar I just got a black maternity puffer jacket from Amazon. It's warm long cute, looking forward to wearing it in Iceland next month!
It's been leggings and boots and oversized sweaters every day for me. I don't really have a bump so I haven't figured out how to show it off yet.
At work I have to wear khakis and a work shirt so I just wear super comfy full panel khakis I got for $9 from Burlington coat factory. They also keep my butt from showing when I have to squat or bend down. They're WAY better for butt coverage than regular khakis. I may keep wearing maternity pants to work indefinitely...
