This is why the squats have been a struggle:)</p> <p>You look great - it is x hard time to get the right clothes between comfort, growing belly, your own style preferences and work, climate etc. </p> <p>I found accessories were my saviour - I wore simple clothes and fun hats and necklaces. And lots of repeating!! At least the flat shoes selection is good right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1921066 Mon, 21 May 2018 08:38:34 +0000 Cee 1921066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done...

I love outfits 3-6, well done. I also didn’t like maternity fashion and tried to make do with regular clothes as long as possible. But at the end of second trimester I gave up. At this point I pretty much did not care how I look any more, and just wanted to be comfortable:) How far along are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1921019 Mon, 21 May 2018 02:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1921019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have done a fabulous job styling the baby bump.

Congrats and best wishes with your impending arrival! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920853 Sun, 20 May 2018 12:11:56 +0000 kkards 1920853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! no idea about maternity fashion.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920841 Sun, 20 May 2018 10:59:42 +0000 krishnidoux 1920841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! The first two outfits show a very confident, out and about gal and I quite like them. But I hear you about feeling more comfortable in protective longer coats. Outfit 5 looks quite fabulous too, in a chic elegant unitentional way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920836 Sun, 20 May 2018 09:58:07 +0000 Katerina 1920836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pregnancy was very many years ago, but I remember that I found very few options of clothes which would work with my then professional style. I really like the outfits you were wearing. Especially the button down shirts and your outerwear look great. No 5 is super and I love the trench.<br /> As for polyester, I also prefer other materials which breath better, especially in tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920824 Sun, 20 May 2018 07:55:33 +0000 Liesbeth 1920824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t give much advice either, I found getting dressed especially at the end very challenging (no fan of rushing or other very feminine clothing either). I bought lots of second-hand, I borrowed, and (in retrospect) just made do trying to look somewhat like myself but not very well succeeding. It didn’t,help that I had so much water retention when spring came around I had to wear special pressure stockings (is that what they’re called in English?) and resorted to birkenstocks at work (cringing lol).<br /> Anyhow apart from the first outfit (where I agree the fit of the top no longer works great especially without the jacket), I think you look very stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920816 Sun, 20 May 2018 05:29:27 +0000 anne 1920816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GF. No advice re artificial fabrics, but wanted to say congratulations on your pregnancy and that you are looking amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920814 Sun, 20 May 2018 05:25:13 +0000 delurked 1920814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GF - my wording was probably poor, sorry. I meant the popped part. Not that it’s a bad thing, but perhaps a bit snug for a more professional setting. I just read you were running errands, and I was thinking of a workplace with my comment. I am a big fan of you in your trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920811 Sun, 20 May 2018 04:45:15 +0000 gradfashionista 1920811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked, 1-2 aren’t sheer, meaning my bra isn’t visible; it’s just my navel is quite popped and is visible unless I wear something that is loose, dark, and patterned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920805 Sun, 20 May 2018 04:03:13 +0000 Jessikams 1920805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also hate ruching and wish it was not so prevalent in summer dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920796 Sun, 20 May 2018 03:45:57 +0000 Jaime 1920796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favorite! I also especially like 4 and 5. Pregnancy is the time for a capsule wardrobe if there ever was one. I did not want to look at my pregnancy clothes ever again once they no longer fit. I hear you about the problems with maternity clothes out there and absolutely agree second hand is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920791 Sun, 20 May 2018 03:12:38 +0000 Bijou 1920791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is worth buying some wrap type tops that you can wear as maternity tops and also open up easily for breast feeding (if you intend to breast feed) - as I found these very useful for the 3rd trimester and also the first 6 months when my son was born. You are looking very beautiful and stylish and whilst being pregnant can be tough (it was tough for me) - definitely worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920777 Sun, 20 May 2018 02:03:55 +0000 delurked 1920777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 4 are my favorites, and 1-2 are my least favorites here (due to sheerness of the tees). I don’t have much I can contribute here, but I think it makes sense to make it through with a minimal capsule. As long as you are comfortable, I would think that would be the top goal. Wishing you good luck and hope you are feeling well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920774 Sun, 20 May 2018 01:54:02 +0000 Kathie 1920774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve done a good job, sticking with your minimalist look. It’s not easy- my maternity clothes are a decade in the past, and the options weren’t great then, either. The new top in #5 is an excellent addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-caving-to-polyester-other-outfits#post-1920756 Sat, 19 May 2018 23:38:26 +0000 gradfashionista 1920756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(WIWT: #5): The top was an eBay find from my favourite, or rather least unfavourite, maternity store. Their clothes are intended to be worn before, during, and after, pregnancy, but they are overpriced and generally too boho/vintage for me. I’ll spare you my tirade against maternity lines, but suffice it to say, there are few options for androgynous/minimalist styles (aka solid neutrals sans ruching) in natural fibers. Since it was raining, I wore a silk handkerchief around my head and my trench pictured in #3. </p> <p>I’ve tried to make due with what I own, especially jackets, but have learned the hard way that tops can become stretched to the point of transparency without your realizing. I had one or two pricier pre-pregnancy, tightly woven polyester tops that I had kept “just in case,” but wearing one of them out this week (the blush) in rainy and humid weather solidified my desire to sell them. They’re lovely, but not breathable. </p> <p>These outfits were all worn on rainy days doing errands. I regretted #1 soon after I left home, and have relied heavily on my jackets and trenches to feel put together. I can’t zip or button them up properly, but they fit reasonably well from the back. The jacket/tee combo in #2 looks more high contrast in the photo than in real life because of the perspective. </p> <p>I have a few nicer outfits that I forgot to photograph—including a dress that’s been a lifesaver for fancier settings—but will have to recreate them in the coming days. </p>
