I hope you enjoyed Monday's Ten-Item Wardrobe video. As is traditional on my blog, I'll be talking through each piece in today's video.




Today's video is not just for pregnant ladies, or ladies who plan to become pregnant, however. I show you what I would have worn this season had I not been pregnant. I also share some practical fashion wardrobe tips, including wearing maternity shareware under my thin dresses as well as the demi-camisole I use for all of my low-cut tops and dresses.

The four returning dresses are from Seraphine.



The following dresses were found in zulily's maternity section. Zulily always has an excellent selection of heavily discounted maternity wear. They carry many of the major maternity brands at such a discounted rate. These are my pieces from zulily.



The following items were from Amazon. This black skirt is not actually a maternity skirt, I'm just using it as one. It has a fold over top band that works well in maternity and will work well after. I love the maternity tee shirts from Amazon. They have such a great fit! The jeans are from zulily.



I also mention my undergarment secrets in today's video.


I will often wear maternity shapewear under my dresses to smooth everything out. I wear this brand from Amazon. (Please note: the screenshot above is from the model, not me :) )



Another wardrobe secret: I wear a demi-camisole underneath my low-cut dresses. I love these from Amazon. They come in many different colors. This is an excellent staple for all wardrobes, not just maternity. Wear these demi-camisoles over your bra to cover up a low-cut blouse or dress.

I cannot find the exact canvas bins I use, because they were purchased years ago. This set of 6 canvas bins is Amazon's choice and has good reviews.

I hope you enjoy today's video.

Treated myself to the Madame Chic books as an early birthday gift! I’ve had a chance to read them in the past & wanted to add them to my yearly reads. There are certain books I reread every year: • Wife Dressing by Ann Fogarty The Madame Chic series by Jennifer L. Scott The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen • There are a few others I like to reference as well! I would love to add some budgeting books to my collection. So let know if there are any books you could recommend! 😊📚 • • • • • #madamechic #lifechangingmagicoftidyingup #konmarimethod #sparksjoy #prideandprejudice #janeausten #bookstagram #bookrecommendation #bookclub #wifedressing #homemaking #selfcare #booklove #minimalism #budgeting #budgetingtips #tabledecor

I'm sharing my maternity ten-item wardrobe fashion show with you today. If you've ever been on the fence about the ten-item wardrobe, the maternity season of life is a wonderful time to try it out. You don't want to purchase a lot of clothes during this time because you'll only be wearing them for a few months. Having said that, purchasing maternity clothes is unavoidable. As your body changes, you must have clothes to accommodate your growing belly.



If you plan to have more than one child, you can purchase some maternity clothes that will aide you in your future pregnancies. Four of my core items are returning from my prior pregnancy, and the rest have been purchased with my budget in mind from zulily and Amazon, which both have wonderful maternity selections.

I will be doing my talk-through video on Thursday that discusses each piece in detail, including the undergarments and accessories I wear with them, but for today, let's just check out the pieces.

The four returning core items are all from Seraphine. These are all from my prior pregnancy with my son.



The new pieces purchased are from zulily's maternity section. They have a marvelous maternity selection year-round at heavily discounted prices.


The brand for this pretty orchid-colored dress is Mom & Co. from zulily.


Black maternity dress by GLAM from zulily.


This comfortable nautical-stripe dress is by Mom & Co. from zulily.


The royal purple maxi dress is by Mother Bee Maternity from zulily.


Floral maxi dress by Mother Bee Maternity from zulily.


The black fold-over skirt and my maternity tee shirts are from Amazon. I love both of these items. The skirt is not actually a maternity skirt, I am just using it as one and hopefully will be able to wear it after the birth as well.


The maternity jeans are from zulily.

As you can see, I have 11 core items in my maternity wardrobe this year (tee shirts, shoes, and cardigans are categorized as extras, not core items). This maternity wardrobe has served me very well so far. It can be dressed up or dressed down all all of the pieces are comfortable and adapt to my growing body. I look forward to discussing the details in a more in-depth way with you in Thursday's talk-through video.

I hope you enjoy today's video.
