bump not frump

Maternity clothes are notorious for being ... well boring. However, with so many high street shops jumping on the yummy mummy bandwagon, and so many celeb pregnancies, I thought finding fashionable clothes to see me through these 9 months, at a reasonable price would be easy ...


First impressions weren't great - there are only so many 'does my bump look big in this' and 'hands off' t-shirts that a girl can take ... thank goodness for the internet, where style, comfort and expanding waistbands are plentiful.


I thought I would do a regular feature on maternity style, to show you what I've been wearing and when.


The outfit below is all based around the jeans, a bargain at £15 from the dorothy perkins sale and something that should see me through nicely. While you may think it's a little early for over the bump waistbands I couldn't disagree more ... not much to look at but sooooo comfy, especially when in the car! I've been leaning towards muted colours as I get used to my expanding middle but brightening everything up with fab accessories - I love the coral shades that are in all of the shops at the moment. I've been wearing this outfit at the weekend - perfect for browsing the shops or a nice walk in the sun.

Also, my skin seems to have settled down after the early stage breakouts so I'm making the most of my new glow with a gradual self tanner and an all in one lip and cheek gloss, all topped of with lashings of mascara - maybelline one by one at the moment although the brush takes some getting used to (have to admit I prefer the falsies).
