Excited by the thought of a fancy evening out, but wondering what you could possibly wear to make you look and feel glamorous? Rest assured, a few simple updates to your wardrobe is all you need to create the perfect formal ensemble that will gracefully accentuate your belly and make you feel like the beautiful mom-to-be that you are.
Choose styles that highlight your arms and legs and balance your beautiful belly. Sleeveless tops or dresses will create a long silhouette, while skirts with short hemlines worn with colored stockings and matching shoes can make your legs look long and slim. And don't be afraid to flaunt that new, sexy cleavage with scoop-neck or low-cut tops.
Add color and style to your outfit with a beaded, silk or cashmere wrap. Wraps allow you to go sleeveless with grace and elegance even if you are self-conscious about your arms. And don't be afraid to experiment with your collection of separates, even items from your pre-pregnancy wardrobe. Soft knit tops will stretch to fit your form and create a more versatile and glamorous maternity wardrobe. Some of your non-maternity pieces, though a little tight, can give you a sexier style and emphasize those features that aren't expanding.
Finish up your ensemble by accentuating your best features. Emphasize your eyes with dramatic eyeshadow, your lips with gloss, and put your hair in your favorite do. Most importantly, take pride in the fact that you are a beautiful mom-to-be.
