Here’s another post on my favorite subject… maternity wear.

In Italy, my Liz Lange tank from Target was my go to. It’s the most comfortable yet stylish tank I could recommend to my fellow mothers-to-be (all of this without the ruching on the sides!) It put up with heat, humidity, salty air and of course, numerous washes without fading or stretching out!

The shorts or skirt (or skort, if you will) is by Cheap Monday. A last minute purchase from Revolve Clothing (for $25!!) before my trip. It also succeeded to get several wears in Italy. One plus about this item? It’s not even maternity wear!

He and I are about the same size… he just chose to go topless.

Another maternity wear win? This elastic waistband skirt from Target… under $20! And it can be worn during and after pregnancy.

Two great Target maternity finds (one of which will work post-pregnancy as well) under $20 = happy me. Now back to my Positano villa to wash clothes.

Hat: (yep, you guessed it) Target; flip flops: India; sunglasses: Gucci.

Swollen feet: all me.

I’m going to talk about a difficult subject matter (for me anyway) here. Brace yourselves… it’s… maternity wear.

It was one of things I was hoping to put off as much as possible. Why you ask? Because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to find anything to suit my style. Namely I equated maternity wear with garbage bag dresses or muumuus. I had a lot of friends tell me that I’d probably survive in my pre-pregnancy clothing for most of my pregnancy… who are they kidding? But I would like to mention the pre-pregnancy clothes that have worked into my maternity attire.

My beloved Rick Owens Drkshdw tunic dress. Shown above – pre-pregnancy. Slim enough for pre-pregnancy but roomy enough for pregnancy and post-pregnancy.

 Of course I can’t wear it exactly as shown above (I’m vertically challenged). But if I were taller or could manage 6-inch heels I’d do it.

So to accommodate my height, I just take the longest end and wrap it around my back and tuck it over my belt… and voilà - maternity wear! This tunic came in very handy in Italy… lightweight, flowy, breathable wear in the Italian heat.

Tunic: Rick Owens Drkshdw (purchased from Forward by Elyse Walker).

I wanted to have a picnic outside with some of my friends, but it’s much too hot and muggy for that. So it’s an afternoon of perusing Harper’s Bazaar…

Norm’s (gnome) eyesight isn’t so good so I often read to the group: (clockwise L-R) Norm, Woody, Rex and Piggy.

Rex currently gets weak in the knees over Penelope Cruz.

I have to keep my eye on Rex because he’s very greedy and doesn’t like to share.

dress: Joie; necklace: Pamela Love; ring: Low Luv by Erin Wasson; vintage bird cuff: etsy.
