Style up your maternity denim. Take your maternity jeans to a whole new level with this look. We took the DL1961 Angel Ankle Maternity Jean and jazzed it up to a look that’s worthy of the runway. In NYC in the winter it’s all about the layers. We started with the Michael Stars Black Surplice Maternity Top and layered a tan herringbone blazer on top of it, next we layered on a faux fur vest. To really glam this look up with threw on some diamond drop earrings, black sunglasses and some sexy heels. Don’t forget the finishing touch, red lipstick. Now strut yourself down 5th Ave!

Our crush this week is the Bashful Babies from Jellycat. Pocket sized, soft, cuddly and far too cute, what’s not to love?

When you’re building a brand new wardrobe that is only going to last a limited amount of time it’s very important that you get creative with the pieces that you choose.

In this look who showed how you can take the maternity maxi dress and turn it into a skirt. Another secret to this look, that’s a borrowed button down shirt! Take advantage of your husbands over sized clothes. Raid his closet for a button down and tie it above your belly for a very chic look. Our last little secret about this look is that the Rachael Pally Dress isn’t even maternity, you can wear it after. What a great investment.
