Stumble It!
The pregnant celebrity gives us even more of a reason to observe and admire that personal character shaped into a distinctive form of artistic expressive garb.
Nicole Richie is one person we’ve witnessed transform from ‘princess of pop’ offspring wearing Juicy Couture sweats and multi-hued tresses on “The Simple Life”, not to mention gathering attention via the breast flash on the catwalk to fabulous style icon we love to emulate.
Richie is wearing a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli dress, a perfect and very complimentary choice. To get this trend specific look pop into stores like Scoop or Barney’s for seasonal styles, and for an even greater selection of off the rack, head to Bloomingdales or H&M to find Roberto Cavalli inspirations. Cavalli actually does design a line for H&M, though not all boutiques carry his range.
The Spring/Summer trend of long flowing sundresses is a wonderful option for an expectant mother, giving you breezy mobility and is lightweight and sleeveless, creating a perfect blend of modesty and exposure.
If you’re shopping at a non-maternity store and looking to spend a little more, think of two things: cut and fabric. An empire wasted cotton dress for example will accommodate a growing belly, while the cotton keeps you cool. If selecting something more form fitting, then go for something stretchy in sheer mercerized cotton, or tencel which has a lot of elasticity. There’s no harm in buying maternity, and this season sees a lot of fabulous runway inspired designs at chains like Mimi Maternity and Old Navy where you can find some very cute full-length sundresses. So let a love of colours, embellishment and exotic patterns and prints rock your summer!
