What I Wore: Maternity Dresses for Spring and Summer
Hello! Well so much has happened since my last post. Baby Stephen was born June 16th, and we spent all summer soaking up all of the newborn cuddles and adjusting to life as a family of 3.
I’ve been working on this post since May and finally gave myself a deadline to get it up and posted especially since it is for a whole different season. Many of the dresses are on sale right now! Several also come in multiple color options, so you can pick a fall color.
My maternity style was a mix of cute and dressy or comfy and casual. I’ve also included a few cocktail dresses that would be so good for holiday parties. What I loved about most of these dresses is that they work after pregnancy too. Many of them have also made great postpartum outfits.
Stay tuned to the blog because I have some of my current fall favorite dresses coming up on Wednesday.

These pictures were taken during different stages of pregnancy, hence the bump size difference. I’ve been a big fan of dresses during my pregnancy and wanted a few work friendly dresses. I’ve also worn these dresses to church and dressier events.
Both dresses have the right amount of stretch for a growing bump. I prefer longer midi and maxi dresses during pregnancy with a flowy fit. I find the length and loose fitting style more comfy for sitting comfortably. I’m currently not doing heels as often and love that both of these dress lengths also work with flat shoes.
Orange Striped Midi Dress
Orange Striped Midi Dress
Happy last Friday of July! It’s also the last few days of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which ends Sunday. My backless booties are part of the sale and a great shoe find to wear year round. I styled them today in this perfect spring to fall outfit.
This orange striped midi dress is a great throw on and go dress. The ribbed fitted design is easy to dress up for brunch or down for a fall football game. For a hot summer day, dress up this striped dress with wedge sandals or block heel sandals and gold jewelry. To transition this orange dress into fall, toss on a denim jacket and booties for a casual outfit. I love that these booties are backless. I’ve become a big fan of a slip on shoe. The backless booties also help keep the foot cool and breathable during the warmer months.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a medium in this dress for a loose but fitted look. The booties are a true to size fit.
