What to Wear: Second Trimester Maternity Style Inspiration
AHH! As of today I am now in my THIRD trimester. WHAT?! Crazy! Seriously, I am due in exactly three months. Yeah, three months from now there will be a BABY in our house.
It still doesn’t even feel real that this is happening. We are so excited, but also so nervous / anxious / worried / [INSERT EMOTION HERE].
Well, while I’m over here having a minor freak out, let’s talk about something that doesn’t freak me out: FASHION.
Now, I thought it would be fun to sort of recap all the outfits I put together and wore during my second trimester. I remember when I first found out I was pregnant, I SCOURED blogs for hours… even days looking for maternity style inspiration. I mean, your body changes SO much when you’re carrying a child, but I didn’t want to sacrifice my sense of style just because my body is changing. So I looked around.
And while there are certainly a few great bloggers out there who have shared their maternity style, the truth is, there just wasn’t THAT much. So, I thought recapping my second trimester style might be fun for a few reasons:
- For me: It’s a nice way to document my growing bump, but also document my personal style throughout this pregnancy
- For others: Whether you’re pregnant right now or if you’re ever planning on getting pregnant, I thought this may be helpful for you – any of you. Or none of you? Here’s hoping you have to do just a little less Googling than I did. LOL!
Now, this is not to say that I am the foremost expert on maternity fashion. I most certainly am not. However, I did learn some things along the way and I had a lot of fun in the meantime.
You can check out ALL of these looks (and more) on my Outfits page here on the blog (and each look on the outfits page links to the original blog post with outfit details, just in case you’re curious).
A few of my favorite maternity pieces and/or maternity must-haves:
Which look was your favorite? Do you know of any great maternity style bloggers out there I should check out? Leave your suggestions in the comments!
I am loving your pregnancy style!

I love the stripped maxi skirt outfit, so cute and after I saw it on you I ordered one from Old Navy & love it. I feel like all I ever want to wear is maxi dresses and maxi skirts, they have been the most comfortable for me in my 2nd trimester. The toughest part is feeling like I have “nothing to wear” everyday, I miss my old clothes 🙂

yes! i wear that skirt ALLTHETIME! seriously. and yeah, i miss my old clothes fo sho!
I think my fave is when you wore John’s shirt with a belt. I may have “accidentally” shrunk one of Seth’s plaid shirts after that. Of course we couldn’t throw it out, so I made use 🙂
Love watching your bump grow, and can’t wait to love on Baby Stillman!
hahahahaha yes! i know, right? i love it!! and baby stillman can’t wait to meet you!
You are just adorable! Loved seeing all your outfits as your little baby grew, just so precious. My favorite is the one with the striped maxi skirt. I can’t believe you are in your 3rd trimester already, I feel like it was just yesterday I was watching the video of you announcing your pregnancy! 🙂
