I know some of you guys have been wondering how I’m still able to wear jeans (or anything remotely cute hah) while I’m in my third trimester, right? Well, today I’m letting you in on my official “how I am still able to wear jeans” secret!
According to Juno (the movie), once you become pregnant, it’s time to start taking out the waistband of your jeans and replace it with some sort of elastic lining. Needless to say, I was less than thrilled about this glamorous side of maternity jeans, however the comfort. But behold the belly band! Now it’s as simple as just wearing regular jeans and slipping a belly band over them. When I’m in meetings, and especially now that the weather has cooled, I prefer to wear jeans. There’s something very effortless and street chic about a pair of torn jeans and heels! And of course a white blazer makes everything more chic.
For me, fashion while I’m pregnant is still about maintaining my style, it’s just a matter of finding ways to get around it. So for my expecting or soon-to-be mommy readers, I hope you guys found this tip helpful!

Lovely post! I wonder whether that belly band doesn’t move? 🙂
Additionally, I would really recommend not to wear high heels. It’s not about the risk of stumbling and falling but rather that the way you stand. They shift your hip and the way the baby lies between it. I don’t know whether you know about it but chose to do so – just wanted to speak out my concerns…

What a great idea Chriselle! Sadly, I no longer fit any of my jeans since I became pregnant. You look amazing!

I never really wore the band, didn’t realy get around it. I had two maternity jeans, i mainly lived in maxi dresses. On another note, the bag is so interestingly cool.

The person who created this is a genius! I have definitely been able to still rock my fave jeans with the help of the band. Maternity fashion is definitely do-able! Thanks for sharing 🙂 xoxo
