Mamalicious wishlist

Most of all, I miss wearing dresses. 

Availible at here

+MAMALICIOUS has some affordable, stylish dresses, tops, and lingerie for nursing mums. They have really nice jeans too, for that inbetween phase I seem to be in. Too skinny for my maternity jeans; too fat for my pre-pregnancy jeans. New mum problems.

Keep it cozy

Obviously I have a thing for sweater dresses.

What's not to love? Who doesn't like to wear a dress and be warm?! Those are just the ones I can still wear; I have a bit of an obsession. Living in a place that is cold and damp most of the year, a sweater dress has kind of become my uniform. I wouldn't know what to do if I ever moved some place sunny.

There are some great sweater dresses in the shops this winter season. You might even be able to catch some of them at marked down prices for the January sales!

+Free People have some amazing lounge wear in their intimates section. A nightie might just be the best investment you make. They are great for delivery and the frequent bathroom trips.

You are only pregnant once, maybe thrice in your life. So should you get a themed t shirt? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD! Duh.

Best Performance: Maternity Jeans

I was a maternity denier. I was convinced that I could wear leggings for 9 months and then my mother basically forced me to go shopping for jeans that would actually fit. Dammit, mother knows best. I love my maternity jeans...which is a sentence I never thought I would say.
I am definitely not a model, so trust me when I tell you that my jeans look great and are super comfortable even if the picture isn't so hot. They are by A Pea in the Pod, which has a huge range of designer maternity jeans. It's an American store but they ship to the UK.

In maternity, I think over the bump coverage is more comfortable and flattering than under the bump. I've heard other people say the opposite so try them and find what's right for you. Here are my top 10 picks starting with my favorite category, dark and skinny.

A Pea in the Pod ($95)

J Brand Maternity (£245)

Hudson ($215)

Isabella Oliver (£95)

Sometimes people like a bit of variety, and maternity jeans are a really good investment if you wear jeans normally, or are planning on having multiple pregnancies. You will want more than one pair.

Citizens of Humanity ($139.99)

Gap Jeans (£44.95)

Joe's Jeans ($189)

And for those of you who are wild and can't be tamed, here's some denim that is fabulous and not blue. I love the +MAMALICIOUS snake skin jeans! Rock and roll.

Mamalicious (£34.09)

Seraphine ($49)

Mamalicious (£46.89)
