Like with my first pregnancy, I’m going to be pregnant at Christmas. I’m only 15 weeks and I’ve gained weight and have a bump so I’ll need to buy some new maternity clothes for the festive period. I’ll be honest, I feel pretty crap when I’m pregnant, especially when it comes to dressing up. I have a pear shaped figure i.e a big bum and very wide hips, so when I’m pregnant I look pretty fat in anything. I remember last time trying to find a nice dress to wear on Christmas day and making anything I tried on look like a potato sack. Here we go again…
I’ve had a look on my favourite shopping site ASOS for some christmassy maternity clothes that aren’t too dressy up, I don’t want to spend money on something I’ll only wear a couple of times.
I’m going for smart/casual and here’s what I’m loving right now.
As you can see I’m really drawn to wine red and mono tones this winter, which I think is the perfect for the festive period. I can jazz up the black and white stuff with brightly coloured statement jewellery.
For me the most important thing is comfort, so dresses need to be loose, jeans need to be soft and jumpers need to be cool. I remember with my first pregnancy I was a walking, talking radiator (like I’m sure all pregnant women are) so I needed to be able to take layers off if I got too hot. That’s why a waterfall cardigan is on my list. I already own one which will fit me throughout my pregnancy and has a super long waterfall front which I can wrap around myself if I get a bit cold.
What are your favourite items on my list? I need a dress for a wedding in February and I think the bottom stripy one will be perfect for the occasion.

Oooh there’s some lovely stuff there, I need to get shopping!xx
Great choices. I am loving the top 3 choices xx
Oooh, stylish, comfortable and festive! Great round-up post for expectant mothers 🙂 x
I absolutely love ASOS. You have picked some lovely bits. I am completely drawn to that waterfall cardi. I love it! All the items you picked will look lovely on you, especially with your cute little bump. I am the same I prefer comfort and usually chose that over anything else (and I am not even pregnant!). xx
Ooh you NEED to buy the black and white stripey dress it is so lovely. I also love a waterfall cardy 🙂 x
I’m really stuck for clothes this time round too, but I am definitely going to look at asos. It’s not a website I used last time but I really like the bits you’ve picked out. I need a Christmas jumper for my work do… Xx
I am loving the wine red trousers, they look so stylish and can be worn even when not pregnant. The checkered dress looks lovely too
Great choices hun! Smart casual is definitely the way to go with pregnancy clothes – and comfortable! If it’s not comfy when you try it on, don’t bother buying it. If you are like me, you wont’ wear it in the end lol x
I absolutely love that burgundy chiffon wrapover top I think it is stunning. I also like the burgundy roll eck and trousers. I like burgundy in case you can’t tell haha!
Loving the jumper with the star detail, maternity fashion has come a long way lately thank god as we don’t want to see women in shapeless tents do we
