A couple of weeks, I did a post about maternity wardrobe basics. Let’s face it, it’s hard to feel good about yourself as your waistline begins to grow at a quick rate and you feel like you are waddling around like a duck.
Thankfully, from what I understand from my mother and grandmother, maternity clothes have come a long way. I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen some downright cute expectant mothers rocking it! While I won’t go as far as to say that I’m one of those people, I did want to share a recent outfit I wore while on vacation last week.
After researching for the maternity wardrobe basics posts and looking through what I already had on hand, I headed out to look for a few items to add to my own maternity wardrobe for a reasonable price. Since I had some rewards to spend and had a gift card, I stopped at Old Navy and picked up a few things.
Here’s my maternity wardrobe basics outfit #1, with many of the items I purchased.
V-neck Tshirt // Old Navy
Tank // Old Navy
Skirt // Old Navy
Bubble Necklace // Charming Charlie
This outfit was incredibly comfortable. These pictures were taken in our hotel after we had been travelling back from vacation for about 12 hours {hence the door open in the background and my bare feet}. I intentionally wore it because I wanted to be comfy and cool, and this outfit did just that!
If you remember, these are all items that I mentioned in my maternity wardrobe staples post. I think it demonstrates the point well that combining some basic pieces with some accessories can really make for a decent outfit. I’m planning to wear this into the fall and add some layers when the weather deems it.

What do you think of the outfit?
Anything I could have done differently?

I love that maxi & that necklace! You look great. I found you through Pleated Poppy. Stop over to visit me on my blog if you get a chance sometime. Have a great day!
Thanks so much, Courtney! I love the Pleated Poppy blog and so glad you found me. I'll "visit" you sometime!
I'm pregnant too and a maxi skirt similar to this one was a find I'm excited about because I wear it now, but since it's not maternity I will definitely be wearing it next summer too. To me, this outfit is a perfect way to play up basics – what's not to love about the addition of a fun necklace?! Especially because those always fit. 🙂
Congrats on your pregnancy, Jess! I agree completely – maxi skirts are great whether maternity or not. I wish I had discovered them sooner. And I totally agree with your thoughts on necklaces! 🙂
You look so great! I love the pop of yellow! 😉
God bless,
XO, Claire
