Duchess
Kate is a master at using accessories to elevate her look, which she
has continued to do during her pregnancy. While most of us don’t have to
look as pulled together as she does at her posh British appearances,
accessories are key for anyone and especially moms-to-be.
Bags.
Hats. Scarves. Jewelry. Shoes. Oh yes, don’t’ forget the shoes. It’s no
accident that nearly all my wardrobe purchases for the year have been
accessories — not clothes. When you’re pregnant, finding clothes that
fit becomes an issue. So you concentrate instead on the stuff where size
isn’t an issue! Hello accessories!
Swapping
out accessories can change up a simple maternity dress many ways, so
you don’t have to spend a fortune buying clothes you may never wear
again.
A NECKLACE or SCARF is a
great way to update your look, affordably and stylishly without a whole
lot of effort. I just bought a great global print scarf in the H & M
men’s department- for $9.95! The Forever 21 jewelry section is an
instant mood lifter. There are so many options at dirt cheap prices.
This is where you can have fun and go super trendy.
SHOES
are my weakness though. I’ve bought seven pairs of shoes this year- all
sandals, BTW. Sandals are the only thing that feet my swollen feet….so
far, that is. One-size-fits-all purses are another stress-free way to
inject style into an outfit.
I’ve
been obsessed with my Karen Walker SUNGLASSES for a year now, wearing
them constantly. “Private Practice” star Kate Walsh even came up to me
at a luncheon and asked who my glasses were by and where she could get
them. Lately, they’ve really come in handy. Not only are they stylish,
they are a life saver at helping to hide dark circles from lack of
sleep. Everywhere from Target to Claire’s sells cute shades…so you can
either go cheap or make an investment purchase and you will look great
either way.
And while I’ll never
have a place or the occasion to wear a chic fascinator like Kate
Middleton, a HAT does do wonders for hiding hair that gets beat up by
pregnancy hormones. That and the fact that it sort of visually helps
balance out the extra weight around your middle!
