DRESSING THE BUMP: MIXING PATTERN AND TEXTURE

Almost every Friday for the remainder of my pregnancy I will be a series on "Dressing the Bump". Pregnancy can be a tricky time wardrobe wise as you want to feel great, look great but you kind of feel like a blimp. Comfort becomes mega important as you're carrying so much extra weight and again- everyone wants to feel great in the clothes they are in.

Similar to the way I design rooms, I love mixing pattern and texture. This shirt and pants combo (yes these are maternity pants!) is a fun edgy mix. I thought these pants would feel like plastic but they are pretty darn comfortable. And what is lovely- Thyme has started to carry online and exclusively at their Yorkdale location designer brands like Paige Denim, Citizens of Humanity, J Brand and DL. So convenient and pricing is about the same as you would expect to pay for non-maternity versions.

Let's pull back the curtain here- I would probably last an hour walking around in these heels, but for date night (ie. car to restaurant and then back to car) they are perfect.

Shirt, Citizens of Humanity (off the rack maternity!) pants, Thyme Maternity. Bracelet, Winners. Ring, BCBG. Shoes, Zara. Rose's dress and polka dor tights, Wheat. Bench, Target (sniff! goodbye Target Canada!), Coffee table, Mirens. Fireplace tiles, Paloform.  

Thanks to Thyme Maternity for partnering with me during this very special time and to Mdd Photography for capturing my growing bump!
