We are hitting the road again this weekend with our little crew. Packing in the summer is much easier than all the socks, coats, and layers in the winter. If it is one thing I have learned traveling while pregnant is that comfortable waistlines are a must for long hours on a plane or in the car. 

This is an easy and comfortable option that you can keep on for the day and works for both travel and activities after. I will work on getting some updated packing tips soon. For now, here is today’s pregnancy style challenge with The Bump and Liz Lange for Target:

Embroidered Tee – Super soft embroidered tee with a little boho edge. Have worn this more times than I can count! 

Straw wide brim fedora – I love a good wide brim fedora, and it’s a nice way to keep the UV rays off your face!

Liz Lange white denim skinnies – I can’t quite quite white. Against my better judgement! But these stretch denim jeans were not see-through, circulation cutting, or marshmallow inducing;) I usually fold the belly panel over around the waist and wear a longer length tee over.  I have to say this version is looking even more appealing.

Perforated booties – Full support of booties, but look and feel like sandals. Win.

Weekender – Just the right size for a weekend away….if you can narrow down your shoes choice and pack smart that is. This one pictured is old, but here is a similar option.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a new look, but in case you missed, here is look one and look two  for this week’s pregnancy style challenge!
You can check out the other bloggers looks on The Bump’s instagram stream, and at the end of the week you will be able to vote for your fave!

As part of this week’s pregnancy style challenge with The Bump and Liz Lange for Target, I had to get creative with basic pieces. Basics allow you to mix things up multiple ways and work with what you already own. Here are a few pieces I have on frequent rotation….

Striped Skirt – This is a skirt from my conscious closet pieces that I have worn to death before and during pregnancy. It has an elastic waist and is a thick stretch material. Black and white is so versatile that it can pair with varying colors, layers, and patterns. It is from Loft, but here is a similar maternity version.

Liz Lange Grey Tee – Extra long, fitted, and stretchy. The necessary checklist for a comfortable tee during all three trimesters.

Sneakers – I am having a hard time wanting to wear anything else! The great thing about converse sneakers is that they manage to pull of a sporty casual look that doesn’t allude to gym time or lazy dressing (although maybe sometimes that is totally what it is for me :D).

Ball cap – To hide the bad hair day of course.

Reversible Tote – To throw everything under the sun in, and still have room to hide a bag of popcorn for your movie date…

I wear this look just about every week lately for errands, travel, or a night out with Gabe.
What have been your favorite comfortable casual pieces?
I’ll see you all tomorrow with look 3!

Hope you all had a splendid weekend. We were knee deep in projects around the home, but we managed to squeeze in some good time with friends, plenty of sprinkler time in the backyard for the little ones, and we all got re-acquainted with our love of watermelon. We may just attempt to grow some this summer. Speaking of watermelon…

It seems I have one stuffed under my dress. We could call this week a style the watermelon series, yes? 
Like I have mentioned before, this time around I am way more relaxed about all the changes pregnancy brings. I know what comes at the end of the 9 months, and all the discomforts are minuscule in comparison. I am embracing the extra padding, and just enjoying the company of this little life. 

I am teaming up with Target and The Bump this week for a little pregnancy style challenge. I will be posting a different look each day this week incorporating a piece from the Liz Lange line. They will be sharing a few other looks from mamas to be on their site at the end of the week.

Here is the breakdown for today’s look:
Grey cotton dress by Liz Lange
Denim Vest
Perforated sandal booties (shockingly comfortable!)
Fringe clutch
Druzy Necklace

Have a great start to your week friends, see you here tomorrow!
