Classic blazer and jeans combo // what i wore

THE LOOK:

H&M plaid blazer, ASOS nursing v-neck T, LOFT maternity skinny jeans, Banana Republic heels

THE PLACE:

This picture was snapped before going out to dinner mid-week, but I have worn some version of this classic blazer-t shirt-jeans combo several times out to bars and restaurants.

WHAT I LOVE:

I think blazers (and jackets for the same reason) are great maternity pieces because some tops just need something extra to flatter and taper the look of the bump a bit. I like to get away from dresses when I just want to feel more like my old self a bit. These, plus a pair from H&M, have been my go-to skinny jeans while pregnant.

WHAT I DON’T LOVE:

I mean, they’re jeans with a tight maternity belly band, so naturally I’m about ready to tear them off about two hours in. Any involved outfit like this (that isn’t just a dress) is inherently a little fussy on a pregnant body because you’re often having to pull things up or down or just generally readjust. I don’t mind it, but that’s why I wouldn’t wear this look all day every day. But, it’s still fun for going out.
