Happy Friday, friends! This has been the longest, shortest week ever. It flew by while feeling it it just dragged along. I love and hate short weeks for this reason. By the time I get geared up for the week, it’s almost done. But no complaints here because it’s almost the weekend and who can complain about that? We have a baby birthing class all day tomorrow. I’m equal parts terrified and excited. Which is exactly my thoughts on child birth.

I picked up this dress from the fabulous Nordstrom sale happening right now! (I told you I would, it was on my round up post!) I ended up going with my normal size because I liked how it showed off my bump. I’ve got plenty of dresses that are loose but this one (which from what I can tell would fit a bit looser, like a shift dress for a non-pregnant lady) fit the bill perfectly. A little bit body con, which I’ve really liked wearing this pregnancy. Who knew this flowy, loose fitting clothing lover would be so into body con? It’s just too hard not to show off this growing bump. Actually quite literally. We’ve got a summer to go, my friends. And it’s already getting hot. Pray for me and my swollen-bound ankles.

So back to the dress — it’s on sale and it comes in two colors! I chose navy because I felt like it would work after baby as well this fall but the poppy orange color is adorable too. In fact, I decided to throw in a pop of color with my earrings as well. And when I say pop — I mean it. These babies are BRIGHT and I am not mad at it.

My sandals are last year Joie but there are some very similar Joie sandals on sale now too! They have more of a wrap look, which I love as well. You can find those here.

PS: the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale is just through this Sunday!

Fit Details

I would say the dress fits a bit big, if I’m in my normal size (medium). So size down if you’d like a more fitted look or for a looser fit, stay true to your size!

  1. That’s a beautiful dress, I love the pop of colour with the earrings against the navy! 🙂

    I was pregnant over summer with both boys, it was hard! Drinking lots of water, wearing dresses and my maternity denim shorts were how I got through. Sandals were impossible in the final trimester with all the swelling, haha! You look awesome though, not anything like I did over summer!

    Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 🙂

  2. #winning. This. It’s casual yet dressy, the earring really set it off. Lovely way to rock the baby bump.
