Getting Comfortable With Juliet Dream

Getting dressed in the morning can sometimes be a daunting task, pregnant or not, but let’s face it, pregnancy can make wanting to wear “real clothes” that much more challenging. There are days where jeans just won’t cut it and the thought of wearing hubbie’s sweat pants sounds like heaven – don’t do it Pregnant Girl, you have style and you have standards!  Instead, opt for a pair of our Juliet Dream Jersey Pants. They are sure to keep you cozy while looking cute.  They are soft enough to lounge around in and a great comfy pant to wear while buzzing around town. Just throw on a cardigan and fitted tee and you’ve got yourself a cute outfit that doesn’t look like you just rolled out of bed.

Do you have a lunch date and want to get a bit more dressed up while still feeling uber comfortable? Try the Juliet Dream Jersey Skirt. Throw on a fitted top, some cute flats and you’ve got yourself a winner.

The jersey pant and jersey skirt have a panel that you can wear over your belly or fold down like yoga pants. They also come in both charcoal and black. Both pieces would be a great addition to Pregnant Girl’s closet.

Second Trimester Maternity Must-Haves

This part two of our four week guide in helping Pregnant Girl choose maternity must-haves by trimester.  Last Monday we covered first trimester, but now you are really growing.  So here they are, our top picks for Pregnant Girl’s second trimester…

Our first must-have is Ella Moss. Although her line isn’t maternity, we’ve searched high and low for a handful of styles that will work for your bump from beginning to end of pregnancy. We are loving her tops because they add some much needed color to any maternity wardrobe and as you begin your maternity shopping you will love that you can still wear a favorite brand. We know you often start the second trimester in that awkward in between phase when the belly hasn’t quite popped and Ella Moss’ flowy styles will help you feel fabulous, never frumpy.

Susana Monaco is another line that we carry that isn’t maternity specific. The stretchy material in the fabric allows for you to wear her pieces throughout your entire pregnancy. We love this dress for many different occasions. Whether it’s your baby shower, a wedding or date night, this dress will make you feel like a million bucks.

Every Pregnant Girl needs a good pair of black pants. These Olian Vertigo Black pants would be great to dress up for work or dress down with flats. There is a panel that can be folded over the belly or folded down.

We can’t tell you how important it is to have a good pair of jeans.  It makes all the difference when you’re getting dressed in the morning.  We prefer any jeans with a side panel and these JBrand Starless Jeggings are our current favorites.  They are perfect for flats, boots, heels and even a simple pair of sandals.

We can’t sing enough praises about the Ingrid & Isabel line.  This Ingrid & Isabel Ruched Top is great to wear under cardigans and sweaters.  It is such a flattering top and hugs the belly perfectly. Why not show off your little bump (that has definitely popped by the end of the second trimester) with a fitted top?

There you have it, our second trimester must-haves. Join us next Monday for our third trimester picks.

We focused this trimester on key basic pieces and told you we prefer the under belly denim.  What do you like, over belly or under belly panels?

Well Pregnant Girl, we have the perfect solution. Sophie comes in both black and grey, is flattering, comfy and costs under $100. This dress is perfect for holiday parties, date nights, baby showers and basically every night or day out you can imagine. Change up the look with jewelry, scarves and shoes so nobody has to know you are wearing Sophie time and again!
