For the office
This breezy overlap blouse leaves just enough room for a full belly, but it also looks ultra fresh (not losyang!) even after you’ve popped. It’s great for breastfeeding moms, too. The overlapping layer pulls aside for easy nursing access. Pair with dark-colored jeggings for maximum comfort.

Brunch with the girls
Feeling feminine? Swap your shapeless daster for a dainty frock that has a garterized waist -- it’s comfy enough to accommodate your bump and still looks flattering post-baby. Plus, the front bow isn’t just a pretty detail; it conveniently unties for nursing access!

Going to the mall
Tempted to throw on your fave oversized sweatshirt? You absolutely can! Just match it with a dressier piece, like a pleated skirt, versus a pair of sweatpants. The result is an ensemble that’s flirty and fun. It is also the perfect outfit to hide the baby pouch that you’ve yet to lose.

Casual meeting
Whether you’re still preggy or have just given birth (and nursing, too), consider button-down dresses as your wardrobe BFFs. They’re easy to wear and can be dressed up or down. Simply trade your flats to heels when you need to look extra polished. Opt for loose styles made from light, breathable fabric for optimum comfort.
