Styling your baby bump

A baby bump isn't one of the easiest things to style, but over time it has gotten easier with the invention of many styles and trends in its favor.

Loose fit outfits like the boyfriend shirt and maxi hemlines to mention a few are some of the quickest styles that come to mind, however many others can be mixed and matched to suit that lil bump. Fitted tops and gowns are also a must have for any preggers sister out there.

Showing off the bun-in-the-oven is stylish, did I hear you say huh! Sure it is, check out Kourtney Kardashians bumpy look and you'll totally agree with me.

I've been able to extract a few tips which will be helpful in styling all the preggers ladies out there using my personal experience as a guide and also infusing my experience as a stylist.

• Dress up in breathable/comfortable fabrics especially during the warm seasons. Your comfort is key, because it affects your emotions and mood. Chiffon tops, leggings, shorts, denims fall under this category. 
• Stock up on flats, if you must wear heels non-slip wedges are preferred. I personally recommend flats since the weight of your body is on the rise and the shoes guarantee your stability to a large extent.
• Accessorize to your taste: who says an expectant mum can't look her best? Be the judge, play with accessories to style up your overall look. Always remember "Less is more".
•  Always wear makeup: the strain of the bump on your body may cause some expectant mums skin to appear dull. To brighten up your face a little makeup is recommended, also regular touch ups with lip gloss and maybe white powder will help you stay fresh all day. Use a moisturizer to revive your skin.
• Don't buy all your maternity clothes at once, it's highly recommended you shop in phases because you never know how big you'll get from the start. This also applicable while shopping nursing bras.
• Empire waistlines & clothes with belt ties behind are perfect on a belly bump, buy into this trend and you'll be glad.
• Wear minimal frills so there's no collision with your bump thereby increasing its actual size.
• Always wear comfortable, effortless hair styles that suit your face shape.
