Wear Sparkles During The Day, Just Because

Sparkles make any day better and brighter. Today's look is simple, yet stylish - a black canvas which hugs the body, finished off with razzle, dazzle shine. The entire ensemble is under $300 and it's very much MILF in Training approved. Firstly, it's body conscious - check. Secondly, because of the first point, my husband thinks it's hot - double check. Thirdly, it makes me feel confident - sparkling check.

At a time when most women feel the need to slack off, I know better. Pregnancy is the time to preserve the sizzle and sparkle of my relationship because I'd rather make out with my husband than a box of oreo cookies. The stakes are high, my guard isn't down, and I'm keeping is sexy through the home stretch.

On that note... it's almost time for the gym!

Fashion Fix: Tunics While Pregnant, Under $100

Style always matters. You know my motto: looking good makes you feel good. And, I love feeling good and confident about my appearance because it makes me a better leading for my team and a more pleasant  (not to mention sexy) wife for my hubby.

While pregnant, I've come to adore tunics. They accomplish three points every pregnant  woman seeks in her wardrobe: style, comfort and ease.  That last point "ease" is crucial. We have enough on our plates, so we like when our fashion isn't fussy. Pop a tunic over leggings or jeans and off you go. Best of all, you can wear them after you're pregnant. Maximize that CPW - cost per wear.  

Yesterday, I wore a gorgeous tunic from Ted Baker, which I purchased at Bloomingdale's. The scalloped details sold me.

Here are some tunics you and your belly will adore. All styles are under $100.

Forever 21, $22 - The loose belt easily places above belly, and off to work you go.

Three Dots, $57 -This would look phenomenal with metallic jeans!

Riller & Fount, $42 - Draped anything is my pregnancy secret.

 

Forever 21, $22 - Nix the belt, until after birth.

 

ASOS, $66 - Hello, third trimester.

 

 resort ready

 ASOS, $66 - This i sthe color for holiday dress-up.

 

 

Jennifer Garner, Mom Style For Less

Do you love heels? I do! But, I also want to look like I belong when I’m strutting through the park with my baby girl. In an effort to prepare for a fashion-award worthy motherhood, and not surrender my sense of style and sanity, (Note to all: burn ugly sweatpants!) I’ll be sharing some of my favorite ensembles from celebrity moms and moms on the street.
 

First up, the adorable Jennifer Garner, mom to Violet, Samuel and Seraphina. Her casual, LA look is perfect for a stroll in the park, picking up the kids from school, or running errands. Swap in a clutch and peep-toe pumps and you’re ready for the night.
