A GUIDE TO PREGNANCY LAYERING

A tunic and a crop top can take pregnancy fashion to new heights!

For the gals who have chic crop tops spewing from their closets, it's easy to shove them in a back corner during pregnancy. However, I have found that pregnancy is one of my favorite times to break out a crop top moment.

With a simple layering technique, a billowy crop top can make a pregnant fashionista feel like herself again (yes, it's really possible)

Here's the recipe for success:

Pick a tunic that is slim to the body (but not skin tight), and stretchy. A long button down shirt is not ideal because the buttons will eventually bust open and the shirt will tent out at your belly (no thanks!) instead of falling straight down to slim you out.

This tunic that I'm wearing is lightweight and slimming, which keeps my belly front and center without making it look any larger. Also, a long t-shirt like this option will totally do the tunic trick, as well!

Add a crop top that is billowy and loose under the chest, like this option. The breakup of the crop top to the tunic should fall just where the top of your belly starts, showcasing a fashion-forward, flattering, and cool mom-to-be look that is anything but "maternity"!

Top off with skinny maternity jeans and a shoe that you feel most comfortable in. Heels or flats, no judgment!
