What to Wear Wednesday: Wardrobe Essentials for the 2nd Trimester

Well here I am 16 weeks along and feeling pretty good, just trying to soak up the next month or so before things really start to get uncomfortable.  I can no longer sleep on my stomach which is a very big disappointment.  My belly is definitely growing so clothes wise I'm wearing loose fitting pre-pregnancy clothes, using my belly band, and wearing maternity clothes here and there for comfort. I've become attached to some pieces in my wardrobe that I have decided are essential for the 2nd trimester.

1) A blazer and graphic T. Blazers are great to add dynamic to many outfits and they are also great to hide that muffin top that is developing on my back :)  Unfortunately this one is getting a little tight in the arms so I'll have to get a new one for the 3rd trimester, I've got my eyes set on This One from Forever 21.

Blazer: thrifted

Shirt: Old Navy, belly band from target

Pants: Cotton On

2) A loose t-shirt.  I have this shirt in 3 different colors, I couldn't resisist! They are seriously so comfortable and have a lot of room for my growing belly, I'm expecting to be able to wear them through the whole pregnancy.

Shirt: Old Navy

Pants: H&M Maternity

Shoes: Target

Necklace: My Mom's closet :)

3) Chambray and a cotton pencil skirt. Button up shirts are great for materninty, if they were loose pre-pregnancy you can were them for a good while and once they can no longer button, wearing them open with a t-shirt underneath works great too.  I'm not sure I'll be able to fit into this skirt much longer, but basically any knit skirt is wonderful for pregnancy.

Shirt: Old Navy

Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: Famous Footwear

Necklace: Kohl's

4) Maxi skirt and denim jacket.  Maxi skirts are an obvious must for pregnancy, so comfortable and so versatile.  A denim jacket is perfect for wearing throughout your pregnancy adding excitement to many outfits. 

Jacket: Levi's

Shirt: Old Navy

Skirt: Target

Necklace: Old Navy

5) Denim Vest.  I don't know quite what it is, but I really like denim vests, they are really good at covering up curves and they can be worn so many ways.
