Reusing Maternity Clothing!

I still have maternity clothes hanging in my closet. And it's not because I'm pregnant. I just love them. I have some items that are absolutely fabulous to wear (and that you can get away with wearing) post-pregnancy. And yes, even 2 years post-pregnancy. Instead of sporting a big, beautiful pregnant belly with certain maternity items, I sport a belt, blazer and/or scarf. There are some true gems that I just didn't want to part with because they really do work post-pregnancy. Nobody would every guess that the label reads something along the lines of Motherhood Maternity, Liz Lange, Belly Dance Maternity or 2Chix.

It was beyond refreshing to watch a recent episode of Bethenny Getting Married? and see Bethenny (3 weeks post-baby) sporting an adorable white cotton dress with a thick belt that she deemed "a maternity" top.



Now granted... I never, ever looked like that 3 weeks post having any of my sons, but she's absolutely rocking the maternity top as a dress. I also think that maternity blouses, wraps, cardigans and tunics are wonderful items to keep around as layers. Layering is going to be such a huge trend again this fall and winter, so keep some of these items out and about.

Housewives of New York, Bethenny Frankel is expecting her first baby this May. Not many pregnant women have a figure like hers at 7 months. She looks FABULOUS in her Mylo Dweck Maternity skinny jeans ($60). I've been hooked on the Housewives of New York since the first season. I remember Bethenny just wanting to meet a "nice guy"... it's wonderful seeing her engaged and pregnant! She's absolutely glowing. I'll be tuning into see her full pregnancy style every Thursday night on the Bravo Network.

NOM Maternity on Totsy

When I was pregnant with each of my sons, there were a few must-shop destinations for me. NOM Maternity was one of those places. It's funny, I was pregnant with my son William at the exact same time Kate Hudson was pregnant with her son Ryder. I will never forget seeing a photo of her with a Nine (9) Months Maternity tee from NOM. I had to have it. I mean, I had to have it. It was that much of an attraction for me! And it's on TOTSY now!
(Jennifer Garner also rocked the tee while pregnant with her daughter Serafina!)

And then I truly just fell in love with NOM. I wanted to dress hip, chic and fashionable throughout my pregnancies, it's not always easy to find truly stylish clothing. NOM was a mecca for me. From their dresses... to their tops... to their skirts... to their leggings. I was working in high-end fashion, I needed to make sure I looked good... and I felt truly at ease with everything NOM offered. As a matter of fact, my 1st Mother's Day gift from my "baby" was a shopping spree to NOM.

So... I am beyond excited to have NOM on Totsy this week. Their clothing is high-quality, stylish and versatile. Seeing the many fashions offered today... it was very cool.

Here are my TOP 3 Fave Picks: (And I'm still shocked at the amazing prices!)

AVERY Top:
Stylish swiss dot v-neck top that ties in back. Wear it on its own or layered over a tank. Machine wash, 100% cotton, dry flat.
