I love how you are incorporating your regular wardrobe even with the bump. I love all of these outfits, and you look positively radiant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724524 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:06:01 +0000 Sara L. 724524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I especially like the yellow belt in the last few photos. I think with all your great accessories - belts, shoes, bags, you'll be able to transform your maternity clothes into a stylish wardrobe even without any new pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724511 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:55:11 +0000 Sona 724511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie: I have to say it again- pregnancy really suits you. You are glowing inside and out and the clothes as stunning as they are only enhance the beautiful you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724473 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:29:54 +0000 MsMary 724473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you look super-fantastic in each and every one of these outfits! My favorite is actually the last one -- so cute with that bright belt over your adorable bump!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724467 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:26:26 +0000 Kate 724467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nathalie, you have me searching for superlatives to tell you how fab you look. The sweater dress and Bailey 44 are my favs—you're a knockout in those—but you look wonderful in them all. That last pic of you and your little ones is precious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724416 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:33:22 +0000 Ariadne 724416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness. You look breathtaking! I love everything. I love outfits #1 and #2 so much I'm saving them in my style inspiration file (that's not creepy, is it? I hope not!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724366 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:34:27 +0000 rae 724366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amazing! I feel like this could be a book or something: how to wear regular clothes when pregnant. As before, I really love how doing this shows off the beauty of the bump. I feel like, when my mom was pregnant with my little sister, the thing to wear were those baby-doll cuts that ballooned out to hide the tummy in a giant curtain - as if it was even possible to hide, you know? It is much cooler to dress the bump with pride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724358 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:31:18 +0000 Sylvie 724358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you are looking so incredible, I can hardly stand it. I especially love the first outfit because well it's something I could see myself copying even though I'm not pregnant.</p> <p>I am so happy that your wardrobe still fits you and you get to look good and feel good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724351 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:20:41 +0000 sinead 724351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all such great looks- and I am in love with that sweater dress. Then you go and pair it with those lace-up boots and Kate Spade trench... too fab for words. </p> <p>And I agree with unfrumped about the shift in maternity fashion. Giant tents were annoying. During my last trimester for one pregnancy I lived in this black knit jumpsuit for comfort (no waistbands) and it was pretty scandalous because it 'showed' everything. One of the few times I just didn't care. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724346 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:18:21 +0000 catgirl 724346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All so good! It's great that your clothes are still working for you. Love the UWP outfit, but the B44 dress is really a great dress for maternity now that I see you in it. *waving to bump* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724320 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:52:17 +0000 unfrumped 724320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super!</p> <p>I am thankful that "fashion" and how our eyes see pregnant ladies have changed over the years. The huge leap that has been made is that it is okay to show one's "bump". You still want basically good fit &amp; no bad exposure, but gone are the days when the idea was that you had to move as soon as possible to camoflaging the belly and had to wear a tent hanging from your shoulders. I can recall kind of the transition, when we were moving away from the uniform of giant tent jumpers and empire waist everything, to leggings and more fitted tunics that actually could outline the pregant lady shape, but in a stylish &amp; comfortable way. Also the more realistic shift in gestational fashion is that women can work around different pre-pregnancy body types plus how they're "carrying". So much more flexible and attractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724237 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:16:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 724237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Natalie - you look crazy fantastic in every.single.one.of these outfits!!!

Obviously I missed this exciting development during my absence...but congratulations on your pregnancy!! :)<br /> *hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724200 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 724200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you're doing such a good job dressing the bump! I'm amazed with what stylish outfits you're creating....and that you're not wearing maternity clothes yet. I don't think you look *huge* however, I'm sure everyone is just in shock that you're actually pregnant, since you hid it for so long. How wonderful that you have some knit dresses. And I can commiserate with you about rising expenses keeping you from buying new clothes. That's the story of my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724186 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:17:15 +0000 Suz 724186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you are looking amazing. No wonder you love that sweater dress. It's a fabulous piece on you. And I love how you are playing with belts here! Your wardrobe is REALLY working well for you through this pregnancy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724168 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 12:26:25 +0000 teri 724168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that Baily 44 dress looks sooooo good on you. I have it also and I love it too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724158 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:57:55 +0000 Jaime 724158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the orange dress on you. And you have a great attitude toward people rubbing your belly. I had zero tolerance for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724130 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:07:58 +0000 ramya 724130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!!! Aint you pretty Doctor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724128 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 09:04:56 +0000 rute 724128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dresses! What a stylish mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-913-16-pregnant-uwp-and-other-fave-dresses-and-skirts#post-724126 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 08:48:59 +0000 goldenpig 724126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this sweater dress. I think of it as my kick-@$$ UWP dress, especially when paired with my black leather obi belt, black lace-up Frye boots, UWP hammered silver bracelet, and black ruffled trench.<br /> Here is my original WIW post with the sweater dress last fall:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ater-dress</a><br /> And now it's even more fun with a bump! I felt like a pregnant version of Trinity from the Matrix. Don't mess with this mama! I was happy all day at work and at the park with the kids and out for dinner in this outfit--comfy and kick-@$$ at the same time!</p> <p>So happy I can still wear this dress, as well as other dresses and skirts from my post-YLF wardrobe, like my fave Bailey 44 dress. I felt like I was wearing pajamas all day in that dress. I could happily alternate between these two dresses the rest of the pregnancy if I had to! The leather skirt I just hiked up a couple inches so I could still zip it up (so it became an over the knee rather than midi skirt), and the black and yellow chevron skirt has an elastic waist (I still barely managed to wrap a skinny belt above the bump to create a faux waist). The longer I can put off wearing maternity, the better! I'm on SYC right now (and probably for the rest of the pregnancy), which is kind of a bummer because I'm just dreading growing out of my clothes and having to pull out my old pre-YLF maternity clothes. But our expenses are going up this year with the upcoming baby, with a nanny plus two school tuitions, and plus we are looking at getting a safer car for the nanny to drive the kids around. So kid safety and education definitely trumps fashion and staying on trend! At least it's forcing me to be creative with my current wardrobe and squeeze every last outfit I can out of it. </p> <p>This is so different from my first two pregnancies. I jumped into maternity clothes as soon as I could, because it was an excuse to buy new clothes! And then I kept wearing them in between my pregnancies even though I didn't need to, because I liked them so much and they were the most stylish clothes I owned. Funny how my tastes can change as my style evolved! It's a good lesson for me in remixing and repurposing my wardrobe and wearing non-maternity clothes during pregnancy. I didn't think it was possible, but so far so good!</p> <p>1-5. Calvin Klein black and white sweaterdress (Nordstrom on sale)<br /> Only Mine black obi belt (Nordstrom)<br /> H&amp;M black tights<br /> Frye Melissa black lace-up boots<br /> Le Sak purse in black<br /> White House Black Market hammered silver bracelet<br /> Kate Spade Melissa ruffle trench</p> <p>6-7. Bailey 44 orange tiered striped dress (Anthro)<br /> Lafayette 148 caramel leather jacket (Nordstrom Rack)<br /> Fossil velvet floral satchel<br /> Forever 21 orange and bronze bracelet<br /> Stuart Weitzman Giveable ballet flats in leopard (regular pumps and heeled sandals/boots are starting to get uncomfortable for me, so I'm wearing more flats and wedge boots/sandals)</p> <p>8-10. Classiques Entier sleeveless pussy bow blouse (I'm amazed I could still fit in it!)<br /> Lafayette 148 leather A line skirt from Nordstrom (another surprise fit)<br /> White House Black Market ink blue jacket (I could have buttoned it up, but then it looked ridiculous with the bump popping out underneath so I left it open)<br /> Dooney &amp; Bourke yellow satchel<br /> La Canadienne Galaxy chocolate suede boots</p> <p>11-13. INC black turtleneck (Macy's)<br /> ASOS black white and mustard yellow chevron skirt<br /> Mustard yellow skinny belt (from Jason Wu for Target dress)<br /> Dooney &amp; Bourke yellow satchel<br /> Cole Haan Air Talia black wedge sandals<br /> (bonus shot with DD and DS playing at a friend's house)</p> <p>PS The nurses are all commenting how since I made the announcement a couple of weeks ago, I've suddenly popped and become huge. It think it just means that I was doing a pretty good job of hiding the bump before! But now patients are starting to rub my belly and ask me if I'm pregnant even if I haven't said anything. It's a good thing I really am pregnant and not just gaining extra weight, or I'd be offended! It's mostly little old ladies rubbing me though, so it's hard to get upset at them. </p>
