MATERNITY FASHION: Office-wear

Hello lovelies! I realized that since I had my little angel, I have abandoned maternity fashion even though there are a number of you who are going through that amazing period when you are anticipating your little one. So I decided to continue with that series and break it down a little. Today's post is on office-wear that is suitable for maternity.

Speaking from experience, those nine months were the most trying when it came to making wardrobe choices. It's quite easy to get into a rut of wearing dress-tops and leggings. Below, I've put together more more office-appropriate outfits.

1.Wrap dresses

These are feminine and classy and very versatile. You will be able to wear it after your baby comes!

2. Maxi dress

The beauty of maxi dresses when worn during maternity is that no matter how big your stomach gets, chances are the dress will remain long and flowy and not get hiked up to an uncomfortable length. A striped maxi dress calls for attention and takes the attention away from your baby bump. You can either add a belt or do without.

3. Blazer/Cardigan

A blazer or cardigan worn over your maternity dress will turn it from just another maternity dress to make it office-appropriate. Add a belt or brooch to complete the outfit.

4. Knee-length dresses

5. Trousers

I didn't wear trousers much during my maternity, but there might come a time when you need a change from all your maternity dresses.

CELEB STYLE WATCH: SOLANGE KNOWLES

Hi all!! Ever since I started knowing anything about fashion and style, I had people I admired, people who I tried to imitate in my dressing. Even now there are some people I consider to be my style icons. I don’t want to imitate their style blindly, but pick out certain aspects that really stand out to me and reflect my personal style. In polka dots One of those people is Solange Knowles. I originally preferred Beyonce’s style but there is something about Solange Knowles that I absolutely love. She has a bold style and isn’t afraid of playing with colour. Solange Knowles trending in stripes I love how she is adventurous with prints, cuts, hairstyles and hair accessories and not forgetting make-up.

PLACES TO VISIT: KARURA FOREST

Hi all!! Travel is one of my passions. I've always wanted to visit new places and learn new things. One of my resolutions this year is to take time out to visit different parts of Kenya. And then I will share the posts with you. My first Places to Visit post is on my trip to Karura Forest. A little history about the forest: Karura Forest is located in Nairobi. Several tributaries of the Nairobi River flow through the forest. The forest is managed by the Kenya Forest Service and when there were threats to use parts of the forest to put up housing, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai working through her Green Belt Movement, put up a fight to protect the forest and hence one of the city's water catchment areas. And in that way, one of our most important indigenous forests was saved from encroachment. My Experiences from the Trip: I went to Karura before the weather became cold and rainy. Although it was very hot that time of year, once inside the forest,...

Style Challenge Day 18 - Dress down your favourite little black dress

The little black dress has to be my favourite fashion item of all time. I believe you can't have too many black dresses. For today's challenge I picked this black dress which has leather detailing on the shoulders. I last wore it on the blog here . I paired it with Toms, a trend that I can't get enough of. I absolutely love the contrast of a smart dress paired with sneakers. In cooler weather I would have added a denim jacket but seeing as the sun is closer to the ground these days, I opted to go without the jacket. I felt I needed some colour hence the necklace. I have started becoming a huge fan of smaller earrings. I wear these at least three times a week. What is your take on the whole sneakers with anything and everything trend? Have you tried it out? Do share in the comments below. Outfit Details: Dress: Thrifted Shoes: Borrowed from my sister Necklace: Instagram (Thrift Away) Earrings: Gift Thank you for stopping by. xo
