Orange pants and my preggo belly | Dearest Lou

Orange pants and my preggo belly

Even though I'm more comfortable in looser shirts (like the one pictured above) I know that my belly looks more pregnant in super tight shirts. I wanted to wear a basic jean top with all of the other bright colors going on in my outfit today. I've also noticed that in person my belly looks a lot smaller than it does in photos (and I have no idea why that is). A lot of my friends and family have told me that and that I look pretty small for this stage of pregnancy. I know I'll look like I'm carrying a watermelon by the end though, this guy still has to put on the pounds before I pop.

I got these maternity pants from ASOS and they're AMAZING. If they had them in every color I would totally buy at least 2 more pairs. The elastic band is extremely small and you wouldn't even guess they are maternity unless I pointed it out. I got a maternity size 6 hoping that they would fit my new curvy pregnant frame and at the beginning of the day they were fitting just fine. However, as the day went on I kept having to tug them up my hips. These pictures were taken after 2 big meals and LOTS of walking so they totally bagged out on me and are going to have to go in the dryer a couple of times. I would suggest going a size smaller if you have smaller legs unless you like that baggy look and want them to fit well into your third trimester. I'm pretty confident that these bad boys will fit throughout the entire pregnancy and then some ;P

  1. I love this outfit. I can't believe you found some amazing color pants that were also maternity. It's true, you think you're buying the correct size but they always make them with some stretch and they start to sag in places that are just not flattering! But these look amazing on you. You're baby bump is looking beautiful!

  2. The orange and navy go so well together, you look great. I especially like the trousers, very chic!

    On a side note, my chap is called Daryl too. I'm sure it's a popular name in the US, but over here (UK) you hardly here it at all!
