My Favorite PinkBlush Maternity Pieces

October 6, 2019

Feeling good while you’re pregnant can definitely be a struggle, but looking good doesn’t have to be! I know women have varying opinions on being pregnant – some adore every day while others immediately begin the countdown until their body is theirs again. Per usual, I fall somewhere in the middle. Don’t get me wrong, there are days I am completely over it, but for the most part I find a balance between appreciating the beautiful parts and knowing the less desirable aspects will pass as quickly as they came.

Throughout all my pregnancies, my favorite way to distract myself from the not so glamourous parts of pregnancy (ya know – morning sickness, stretch marks, insomnia), is to build a maternity wardrobe that has me excited about getting dressed each day! Cue PinkBlush Maternity. They were the first site I stumbled upon when I found out I was pregnant with Palmer and I’ve added new Pink Blush pieces to my collection with each subsequent pregnancy. One pregnancy style I hadn’t tried until now was the romper. My hesitation was that it wouldn’t fit correctly, but last week PinkBlush gifted me this piece and I’m obsessed!

  • umm – HELLO pockets!
  • 29 weeks and counting

Have you worn a maternity romper? Drop me how you’d style this one for fall in the comments below.

As far as maternity clothes go, I have found that PinkBlush has the widest selection of quality items that continue to wear well after repeated washes. Additionally, I love that a lot of their pieces can be worn postpartum and they even have nursing-friendly options. Keep scrolling for additional PinkBlush pieces I wear on repeat!

Legitimately one of my favorite maternity pieces ever is this grey bell-sleeve top.

Recently bought this PinkBlush red and white checkered kimono – perfect for all things fall!

Terrible photo quality, but this was the first PinkBlush maternity dress I purchased (and my first bump shot)! This piece is still in my maternity rotation; it’s perfect for all stages of pregnancy and pairs well with a blazer (in any color) for the office.

  • September 2019 – same dress, pregnant with baby girl no. 3
These leggings from PinkBlush are fleece lined and a necessity for any mamas having a winter baby.
  • This off-the-shoulder dress is so versatile
  • These pics are from the same day, but I often throw this dress on with tennis shoes and rock a top knot for a super casual look.

Stay tuned – I will be sure to update this post as I come across more photos in PinkBlush pieces. I am standing up in a wedding in November and purchased my bridesmaid dress from PinkBlush – I can’t wait to show you all what the finished look on that day turns out to be!

progress in the pool 🚨 We are so proud of tenny progress in the pool 🚨 

We are so proud of tenny and love seeing her become more confident with every lesson at @goldfishswim_clarkston.

From learning to float on her back to practicing her pulls and kicks, she’s developing the skills that keep her safe (and allow for fun) in the water! Seeing her progress each week reminds us how important it is to start lessons early.

Thank you, Goldfish, for helping her grow and making water safety such a positive experience!
