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.
Life Update: Baby on the Way
The big news is out! We are expecting our first baby this summer! We are so excited to be welcoming our baby boy in just a couple months and start our new adventure as parents.
Pregnancy fatigue is real ya’ll and has kept me a bit quiet here on the blog, but I’ve missed putting posts together. After my mini break, I’m ready to start getting back into posting. Although it probably will still be a little sporadic and not a regular posting routine, I have styled lots of maternity outfits to share with you and more.
Other than being tired in the evenings when I would normally be putting blog posts together, my pregnancy has been going well! Stay tuned for some maternity fashion coming this month!
Also, this dress is not maternity and helped conceal the bump a bit in the early months of my pregnancy.
Long Statement Sleeve Floral Blouse
Long Statement Sleeve Floral Blouse
This long statement sleeve floral blouse has so many fun and pretty details. It’s too good to pass on. Let’s start with my favorite part – these statement sleeves. I love the puffy top paired with the slimmer bottom. The high neckline gives me Victorian Era vibes. The bottom of this top is a cropped elastic hem. This type of hem works great for creating that perfectly tucked in look. It pairs really well with your high waisted pants.
For a dressy causal outfit,I paired this with my dark blue bootcut jeans and brown peep toe booties. The booties linked are the same brand and super similar style. My white earrings were the only jewelry needed to compliment this blouse. I wanted to be sure the details and print stole the show and wasn’t cluttered with jewelry.
