Just when you thought it could never happen, prenancy is suddenly…stylish? Thank you Rosie Pope! With the introduction of Bravo’s “Pregnant In Heels”, Pope’s “Maternity Concierge” business is making maternity look chic, and her clothing line is doing the same. With simple, detailed silk pieces that are bump-accenting but not too fitted, Rosie is giving pregnancy a new look. And she’s not the only one! Designer pregnancy jeans, statement making accessory trends and our favorite brands branching out to start their own maternity lines make current spring trends available to people who are expecting. Check out my favorite pics for Spring/Summer Maternity wear:
Dresses:
*The great thing about a Spring/Summer pregnancy is that you can LIVE in dresses and be both stylish and comfortable. For maxi’s and empire waisted dresses you can often buy non-maternity and it will still fit*

Denim:
*If you are going to drop a lot of dough on a maternity jean (Citizens, Paige, J Brand, True Religion, Seven), make it a timeless style if you plan to wear them again. Spend less on a “trendy” pair. The below J Brands have elastic inserts instead of a big, over the belly band, making them more comfortable*
