Solution: Headbands

Help!

Suddenly, I have all these wispy hairs around my face and they are driving me crazy. Pregnant girl problems. Is this happening to anyone else? I don't know if my hair is breaking or if new hair is growing, but it's out of control. Makes for some pretty hilarious hair styles on windy days.

You have the classic band:

Crossover (£3), Kitty Ears (£8), Studded (£8), Pink Stars ($62.38)

Headbands worn over the hair like a crown:

Ombre Twist (£12), Daisy Chain ($10), Berry Garland (£29), Black Link (£6.28)

The turban look is popular with the kids these days:

Maroon (£8), Leather ($252), Grey ($12.95)

My favorite kind of headband is currently the wired scarf ones. My hair is really smooth so a lot of times headbands will slip off. Bonus: you can look as eccentric as you want by adjusting the ends to stick out or lie flat.

Daisy (£4.99), Leopard (£15)

Or you can just tame it under this insanely cute hat:

Panda Ear Hat ($23.99)

American Apparel Wishlist

American Apparel doesn't technically have a maternity line, but there are a lot of trendy staples and accessories that could fit in your pregnancy wardrobe and flatter your bump. Maternity doesn't have to mean matronly, you can still be sexy and stylish.

Two Color Pantyhose (£14)

Printed Twist Scarf (£15)- My favorite kind of scarf! They stay put and keep the hair out of my face.

Turtleneck Dress (£22)- I'm a sucker for a curve hugging black turtleneck.

Cat Eye Sunglasses (£30) Oo la la

Camouflage Backpack (£44)

Wire Bracelet (£15)

Wooden Sandal (£80)- I said no heels but these look stable, pair them with girly socks!

Lace Ankle Sock (£8)

Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress (£36)- A great basic.

**Note: I do realize that the black turtleneck dress, if worn by a pregnant body, would likely either not fit right or would be stretched beyond recognition. I may or may not be in denial about my lack of a waistline. **

Chiffon A Line Maxi (£58)- Glamorous and flattering

Grid Leggings (£36)

Printed Babydoll Dress (£54)- Pretty and bump accommodating.

Glasses (£49)

Fleece Crop Top (£23) - Crop tops are ideal for layering during your pregnancy.

Taux Demin Braided Belt (£12)- The perfect maternity belt

Shawl Cardigan (£60)

Denim Carry All Bag (£56)

Triangle Earrings (£16)

Pink Lip Leggings (£24)- I love this pattern!

Crop tops

Crop tops are so hot right now. 

The right crop top can be great for layering during your pregnancy and nursing. Now, I am not suggesting that you go all Lisa D'Amato, but if you do, more power to yah. Werk it gurl.

This is my attempt:

The top and shoes are vintage. The skirt is from +Zara; usually it's a maxi skirt but I've worn it up over my waist for this outfit.

Here's are some of my favorite pregnancy friendly crop tops:

+River Island, +Topshop, +Zara 

Black Floral (£28), Heart Glitter (On sale, £7.00), Printed (£29.99)

American Apparel has some great wears in the way of crop top.

Velvet (£32), Mesh ($30), Denim (£40)

+H&M has some nice basic ones for sensible prices.

Comic (£4.99), Jersey (£3.99), Stripe (£4.99)

+Nasty Gal, Violetville Vintage, +Free People 

Sweater (£36.28), Jacket ($98.00), Long Sleeve (£68.00)

Vintage Maternity Style

Good vintage is hard to find, and good maternity vintage is next to impossible. There are loads of patterns out there for you seamstresses, but the rest of us have to scour brick lane or the internet with limited results. I found the best place to search for vintage maternity, pattern or clothing, was Etsy with a few exceptions.

Striped Top -$39.00 - The best of the 60's: bold and bright, from +Etsy.

Pastel Stripe Dress - £134.99 - Has an adjustable waistline so you can keep it postnatal.

Pink Stripe Dress - $42.00 - 70's boho with actual vintage maternity label.

Green Dress - £60.00 - Casual, comfortable. Not maternity but accommodating material.

Little Black Dress - $160.00 - The classic glamorous wardrobe essential.

Harlequin Dress - $45.00 - Trendy diamond print with a wonderfully flowy design.

Floral Babydoll Top - $24.00 - Oh how darling with its cute peter pan collar and floral pattern.

Swimming Costume - £18.75 - On sale from rokit! Classic pin-up hipline.

Purple Print Dress - £27.00 - 50's frock with a great vintage print.
