How to Wear: Maxi Dress (Maternity Style)

This month for my "How To Wear" series I thought I'd go back in time to my pregnancy days!!!! Seems like yesterday I was puking and couldn't breathe and waddling. The good ol' days.... Not. (Okay, kinda.) But, anyway!!! One of my favorite ways to dress the bump was The Maxi Dress. It was EASY and COMFORTABLE and hid my bloated calves and cankles. It was like a long fabric miracle.

One of the easiest ways I was able to style a maxi with a bowling ball underneath was as simple as a blazer or cardigan thrown on last minute. And maybe some accessories if I was feeling adventurous / remembered. With this you'll have to check the length of your blazer/cardigan that it doesn't hit at your hips to make you look wider. Although this worked for me on the left because my maxi dress was "fitted" and the blazer has a bit of an hourglass shape to it already. On the right, I wore a loose, drapey cardigan (that went past my tush) over a loose maxi dress because I was 37 weeks and I DIDN'T CARE DANGIT. So you don't have to do loose loose if you don't want to.. But by that time you may or may not (MAYMAYMAY) be in the same boat as I was..
