Pregnancy Styling

Last week I met up with the lovely Jess at the JC Penney at Wolfchase for a little maternity styling session.  We had a great time!  We went to JCP because I had remembered them having a great maternity section when I was pregnant, but once we got there, we were a bit dissapointed with the selection in the mommy-to-be department.  That didn't stop us though.  We scoured the store for regular clothes that could be worn with a baby bump, and we found some GREAT stuff...

We started with this great tie waist blouse from the Juniors section.  It was flowy enough to go over her bump and we just tied it above the bump instead of at the waist.  Then we tried it with a cream cardigan, a fur vest, and a sweater vest.  The only maternity clothes in these pictures are her jeans!

 Another great find from the Juniors clearance rack was this flowy cardigan blouse.  It looks so chic over a black maternity tank and some dark boot cut maternity jeans.
 This non-maternity cardigan had some gold flecks in it.  We thought it would be fun for a holiday party.
 Another cute cardigan over a red maternity tee.
 This plaid maternity tunic looks fun with a puffer vest.  This puffer vest wasn't too puffy, we liked that.
Finally we found this great striped blousy tank in the juniors section.  We thought is looked great with a black cardi, a knit military jack, another military jacket and Jess's scarf, and a leopard cardigan blouse.  (Sorry the last pic is blurry, but we just loved that combo).

Hope this post is inspiring to some of you preggos out there.  As you can see, very little of what we used was "maternity."  If you have some great basics, you can dress them up many different ways! 
Thanks to Jess!  She was an AWESOME model, and a great sport!
