GREAT NEWS!! PREGNANCY CHIC!

I just received some great news! One of my absolute nearest and dearest friends is expecting!!!


I was so happy because I must say, I have been suspecting her for a while but I dare not put pressure on her by asking each time I had a hunch, I couldn't live with myself if I made her feel unnecessary disappointment. Congratulations my love and I wish you a blissful, stress free, amazing, fashionable pregnancy!

side note: this is to my darling mom to be: please do not wear dangerous heels if you cant handle them, I know your hubby will not be smiling at me much if you as much as trip a teeny bit!

So, in honor of this long time friend of mine and her bun in the oven, I thought i'd do a pregnancy fashion post. A lot of my favorite fashionistas have been preggers in the past and their fashion choices during the time have been really inspiring. Please note that I recognize that a typical Nigerian woman who has to work, cook, clean and service "oga" even during pregnancy cannot look like this at all times. These are just great sources of inspiration that show that you don't have to hide in baggy clothes and boring designs while carrying your precious jewel, please enjoy!

One of the most iconic moments for this mother of four was when she attended Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in one of her own creations, in 6+' heels! I absolutely adored how daring she was and those heels....you must have guts of steel to rock those while pregnant and David probably had his heart in his mouth the entire time, even though he hides it well! lol
 
Victoria looking casual chic in an empire waist baby doll dress with leather detail
 
Black to basics -  here she is again in an all black ensemble. Victoria who has confessed that she can never concentrate in flat shoes has never been spotted wearing anything but heels!

Newly wed Mrs Kanye and mother of one had every inch of her pregnancy played out before us and even though she had a few misses (who doesn't) she had a few inspiring looks during the period
 
 
I love how easy-breezy-chic this chiffon and blazer number is. It looks very comfortable and the colors are so subtle and calm
 
 
I am  fan of this especially with the gold necklace. Simple, chic and comfortable.
 
Here she is again in a fitted leather skirt and white sleeveless top. I like the stole; adds a bit of glamour to an otherwise casual get up.
 
 

 
Here is Kim around the beginning of her pregnancy still rocking a white fitted pencil skirt, but truth be told, Kim never shied away from fitted clothes during the entire time
 
 
 Unless you are one with guts of steel, don't try this at home. you can almost see North's features in this ultra tight gown..just kidding
 
 
Kim posted a picture of her and Kanye with the caption" date night with my heart". This made me go aaaw because I love when couples still go out on dates. I know people who have been married barely a few minutes and they don't even go out on dates, that saddens me a little

Halle Berry embodied easy-casual-chic during her pregnancy, she was often spotted in comfy stretchy dresses. I like her figure hugging pastel dress while she was on the run with her little girl, but like I said unless you are Halle berry or have a great bod or have an industrial strength body magic(but why would you wanna be uncomfortable during this awesome time?!), don't wear skin tight dresses
 



 
Love the jungle inspired neck piece

Academy award winner and mother of three looks chic in this all black ensemble. Black is slimming creating a more svelte silhouette

Without a doubt, this was one of the most followed pregnancies on the planet for the obvious reason that she was carrying the future king of England. However, the duchess of Cambridge's fashion sense during this period was also under scrutiny and stylish she stayed throughout.

 
Here she is in a blue empire waist gown. Empire waists are flattering on every pregnant woman, it accentuates the bust and falls nicely on the baby bump
 
 
Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman also looks lovely in this empire waist ethereal gown.
 
 
Actress Jena Dewan Tatum looks great in this maxi dress and dressed it up with her denim jacket. Denim jackets always add a little something to an otherwise blah outfit!
