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.

How I Learnt To Leave Everything in God's Hands

For a long time (about four years), things hadn't been going the way I had hoped and planned. Everything seemed to be falling apart. To say that I was stressed is an understatement. I would sit on my bed asking God why he would allow so many bad things to happen to me. I would ask him when my light at the end of the tunnel was going to appear. It reached a point where I basically gave up. I couldn't even bring myself to ask God to bless me with this or that. I would often say to myself, "What's the point? My prayers won't even get answered. Something bad is still going to be waiting for me around the corner no matter how hard I pray." I knew all the teachings that we should always have faith in God. I would often recall that hymn that comes from Isaiah 49:15, 'Can a mother forget a baby at her breast and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will never forget you.' And verse 16 of the same chapter, 'See ...

A Pop of Colour

I tend to gravitate towards darker colours. To counter that, I always look for ways to add some colour to my outfits. Red accessories tend to be my go-to when it comes to adding pops of colour be it in the form of red shoes, a red necklace or some red lipstick. I've started using this same philosophy in life by doing something that I know will give me joy. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Most of the time it's doing something I enjoy, like writing in my journal or reading a few chapters of my novel. Other times it's performing a task that I have been postponing for a while, like clearing out my laptop or talking to a friend. The end result is always a feeling of accomplishment. I look at this time as 'me time'; an opportunity to add some colour to my life.
