Who knew I would still be able to fit into a lace ensemble? Thanks to the elasticity in this dress, I was able to wear it till I was 28 weeks. As much as I want to embrace how beautiful my bump looked in this gorgeous dress, I felt a tad too self conscious. You get so many stares as if it was a crime to show off a bump in public. Gosh, even wearing heels or wedges attracts judgemental eyes. To be quite frank, wearing a small heel has been so comfortable for me. I find that my feel hurt so much more in a pair of flats and thongs. Surprisingly, even my midwife agrees that wearing a pair of thongs or shoes that are too flat (e.g. Converse Chuck Taylors) are bad for you.
While looking for maternity clothes, I was shocked to see how much companies were charging us pregnant mothers for clothes we could only wear for a few months. It’s abhorrent! I’m a huge believer of the “cost-per-wear” analysis and I am appalled companies who supply maternity clothes are taking us for a ride!

While doing the “Style the Bump” series, I have learned that I need to be more diverse with my fashion choices. I was a huge believer in adopting a style you like and sticking to it. However, things change (like falling pregnant) and you realise you need to be much more flexible and open to new styles. It’s about embracing the changes in your life and it’s such a wonderful journey.
