One thing I can tell you, I hate maternity clothes.
Maybe I would like them if I took a traveled in time to 2005, but for the most part that’s impossible. Getting ready for 400 fashion bloggers can be a nightmare when everything fits wonky, and maternity clothes aren’t my jam. However, I figured to invest in a few good dresses and headed down to Pea in The Pod. Luckily they had a beautiful Ksenia dress by BCBG (which also comes in regular size.. or maybe works as both?), that I would want to wear regardless, especially paired with a white motorcycle jacket. With beautiful pleats, pretty colors it is very springy, and of course being February, I’m already ready for spring fever.
Gigi New York was giving bags to the VIPs at the IFB Conference, and luckily there was one the same color as my dress! It’s perfect for those of us who love tiny bags and clutches.
Another thing I found difficult was finding a pair of cute flats. I can’t walk in heels anymore, especially if I’m on my feet all day. Luckily Topshop had a cute pair of shoes, that again, would be perfect for spring.

Lovely colors & that cropped jacket is totally fab! P.S. I ordered that Gigi bag when I got back to San Francisco. Love that hue!
Beautiful look from head to toe! Having worked maternity retail, I think I fully comprehend the plight of the pregnant woman. Glad you were able to pick up something so fabulous and stylish!
