I love the way this combination works together and works with the my little bump. When I put on two bright happy colors like this, I usually go searching for something neutral to help buffer the two. The blazer was the perfect option because it is light and springy/summery but also brings a subltle striped print to the party!

I'm working my way through this maternity professional clothes situation I'm in, but if any one out there is experienced and has some suggestions for me, don't hesitate to impart your wisdom upon me!

I'm sort of faking my way through this maternity workwear thing, but I am really pleased with the way this outfit worked. The dress allows my bump to be as bumpy as it wants, and the print mix with the stripes. I love that there is some interest just about everywhere you look. I'll have to stay on this path as I continue to fake it!

Do you believe in summer sweaters? It is important for me because I get incredibly cold inside during the summer. I really have to take a little sweater with me everywhere.

I snatched up this sweater off of a clearance rack at Target for $6. Lets hope it fits over the baby bump for a little while!

I've finally planted some perennial flowers out front, so in honor of my new flowers I'm being flowery today. I love the hint of sparkle that this blazer brings to my outfit.

I'm not overly excited about the way this outfit turned out, but I'm learning as I go. I've tapped into my arsenal of skirts and pants that have been too big for a while, but it turns out this skirt is STILL too big! My initial thought was that the blazer would create some shape, but it doesn't seem to do enough. Next time I'll add a belt and WALAH this outfit has a little more interest and shape. I'm learning, so stay turned!

This is such an easy outfit! This is why I love dresses. All had to do this morning  was put on this dress and shoes! All the flowers might be making the bump look a little bigger than real life, but I think that's okay. I adore the colors in this dress, so I'll probably be throwing it on again sometime soon!

This top is more fun without a blazer over it, but I would freeze in the office without it! The shoulders are lacy and it has a keyhole back. I'll have to show you sometime. Its heating up here, so I'll have to figure out how to say cool outside and not freeze inside.

Good morning! This baby belly has me reaching for all new combinations of clothes I already have. Lucky for me, I have a number of skirts that are stretchy. These will probably hopefully last me through the whole 9 months!

My print mix today is subtle, but still there. These shoes are adorable with the little flower pattern. They play nicely with the navy blue stripes, but then again, doesn't everything play well with stripes?

As I try to navigate the world of maternity workwear, I've learned the importance of layering. I have a feeling I'm going to be living in extra long tank tops and blazers for the next 5 months! Any ideas/advise are welcome!

This is easily my favorite bump allowing work outfits yet. This blouse has just the right amount of room and flowiness to not accent but to lightly decorate the little growing bump. This skirt has an elastic waist, so it is going to be a option for wearing to work through the next few months. Yay for options!

The little bumper-roo is a little more hidden in this flowy white dress. I love how easy it is to literally just throw on a dress and shoes then BAM you're ready! I'm feeling some little baby wiggles, so I can only assume that babe is waving "Hi" to all of you!

I took this jacket with me on our trip to Europe this time last year, and this morning when I came across it in my closet, I was flooded with wonderful memories. Who knew clothes could be so good for nostalgia! Every May for the rest of our lives we will remember our 1st time traveling overseas - we were both scared and excited. It was amazing.

Do any of your clothes have memories attached to them, or am I just crazy?
