V-neck Dress – $216
We all know fashion today is very friendly to expecting moms. However, I am so over hiding the baby bump until the seventh month. Hello, do celebs Christina, Nicole, and now J. Lo honestly think the public doesn’t notice??? Wouldn’t you rather the public embrace your pregnancy then suspect that you packed on the pounds? The moms of America certainly know you have more than a pasta lunch causing that bump. Did J Lo even confirm her pregnancy yet? Not that she needs too. I know Cavalli just claimed to People (read full story here) that designing for her is hard because she keeps getting bigger. Roberto, shame on you for selling out one of your favorite clients. Then she was spotted shopping with pal Leah Remini at Petit Tresor in LA. Why is she hiding it anyway? If she went through rumored fertility struggles and is finally pregnant, wouldn’t you want to shout it from the mountain top? I understand waiting for the first trimester, but denying it until you’re at the end of the second is slightly ridiculous.
J. Lo, once you admit your preggers and have outgrown today’s roomy fashion, you must purchase Chaiken Maternity. Celebrities and friends came to designer Julie Chaiken asking for a line of maternity wear, she gave them what she wanted too, a modified version of each season’s key styles. On her website Julie states, “You don’t give up your personality just because you get pregnant.” A mother herself, Julie created Chaiken Maternity to fit through an entire pregnancy. The collection is comfortable, as well as stylish. Her clothes fit under the belly which I so much prefer to the full over the belly panel. This way you can wear the clothes post baby too. Perfect for those with body types like mine because I am not one of those girls who walks out of the hospital in her skinny jeans. Available at Neiman Marcus.
