Stylish Pregnancy on a Budget: how to stick to your personal style and budget during pregnancy
It's a guide for you to identify your own pregnancy style and wear what works for you and your growing bump. I've crammed it full of all of the best tips, tricks and exactly what you need to know to effortlessly dress your bump and feel comfortable and confident through your pregnancy. It explains how to navigate maternity clothing and only buy what you really need, identify what you already have that will work for you, and even how to create your own pregnancy capsule wardrobe. With more than 5 years of personal style blogging over two pregnancies, I have of course included a lot of outfit inspiration and ideas too.
When you're pregnant your 'I have nothing to wear' days increase as your growing baby limits your wardrobe options. With this pregnancy style guide you'll be able to minimise those days! You'll know what outfits you have in your wardrobe that will work for you in each trimester and be able to stay true to your personal style through your pregnancy. It's got the knowledge I acquired through two pregnancies so you don't have to make the same expensive mistakes I did when buying maternity clothing.

Newer readers might wonder why I'm coming out with this book now, over a month after baby boy's first birthday. This has been a long time in the making. Spending time in July last year with a special friend gave me the confidence to give the book a try and I started writing it. With Baby Boy's health issues and hospital stay it just kept getting pushed back further and further. It's come together now with a lot of support and encouragement! A little later than I hoped, but I'm no less proud of managing to actually write an eBook. I even have an affiliate program, so if you like the book and want to be part of it send me a message.
All of the early feedback has been so positive and I'm thrilled to be able to offer this pregnancy style resource to you!

Excited about the ebook but don't need it in your life right now and can't think of anyone who does? That's okay, I've got an outfit to share too!
What I wore:
Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklaces
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O ZibiboBelt: white and silver sequin scarf worn as a belt
Bracelets: the usual plus silver charm bracelet
Why I wore it:
This is what I wore for Baby Boy's first birthday party. I wanted to wear this pretty dress again after it was the last blog photo I took while pregnant with him, seemed fitting to wear it for his party.The first birthday is always an emotional celebration, but even more so this time. Since Baby Boy's speedy arrival into the world things have been so different in so many ways, but through it all we have been blessed. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over his first year, from friends and family helping us to people online reaching out with advice, support and encouragement.
Blogging is my me-time and while it might be in short supply with 2 boys under 3, it's always fun to come and share my outfits and now my eBook with you all. Thank you. 💕
Last worn: sequin scarf, Mothers En Vogue Maxi Dress.
Other ways to wear: sequin scarf as a headband, pink maxi dress and denim jacket.
Perfect for pregnancy: Mothers En Vogue maxi dress at 39 weeks.

I would love to win this book for myself!! Love to read and it looks like a great book!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on writing your ebook! It is a great subject and I'm sure you've done a good job. I always enjoyed seeing your pregnancy outfits, so I'd love to read this book. I can't say that I'm planning a baby, because one can't plan it... perhaps it is better to say I'm hoping for it. I've trying to get pregnant for a some time now (about a year and a half) and so far no luck.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some answers and have some good news to share soon!
DeleteCongratulations on the ebook, your pregnancy outfits look wonderful!

Great post! So many women let themselves go. I know you may not feel well especially if you've been suffering from horrible morning sickness, but I guarantee you, you'll feel better if you make yourself prettty :)
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those people who feels better when I put a little effort into my outfit, but there are more second trimester and third trimester pictures in the book as I was so sick in the first trimester, both times! Growing a human is hard work, fashion always comes second - but it's good to have ideas when you have the energy to dedicate towards getting dressed :)
DeleteAmazing outfit ideas! You look amazing! x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publishing your e-book. I'm so excited for you.

Congratulations Mica. You've fulfilled your dream of creating an eBook and for that you should be proud of yourself. I'm proud that you did it! Hehe. Also, I would like to wish your baby boy a Happy Birthday! Phew, time flies for a baby.

I want to say that I love your eyes and smile. You easily ooze loveliness! :) xox
