This basic black dress from cadeau is a perfect staple for your pregnancy wardrobe.  It is made from a lightweight fabric that is appropriate for the summer and early fall, but the style seems like it could be worn all year.  It is also very versatile as you can easily dress it either up or down.  Its loose style also makes it wearable during many different stages of pregnancy, and likely even beyond.  One of my favorite things about this dress is the neckline with its gathered shirring.  I love that simple, but sophisticated touch.  Pockets are an added bonus.

The dress is made from cotton, but does need to be dry cleaned.  You can purchase one on sale for $89.99 at babystyle.com.

Just as moms look for the latest in what’s hot for baby, they look for the best offered in maternity as well. Just one example of the trendy styles at Due Maternity, Momzee Tie Maternity Shorts are ideal for what is shaping up to be a hot summer.

Of course, they are designed to comfort and cool, with lightweight fabric, and a stretchy waistband. The sash is removable for a less frilly look, but completely cute left intact. On sale now for $18.00 in the Sales section, they are typically $88.00 and just an example of the fantastic deals I spotted while perusing the site.

Why not have a look around duematernity.com and see what splurges and steals you come out with too?

Finding maternity shorts that go below the knee and are not denim can be a tad tough. I’m much more satisfied with how my legs look when they’re covered above the knee and the Juliet Dream Bermuda shorts certainly are a dream.

At $71.95, they’re not in everyone’s maternity wardrobe budget, but for the mom-to-be with a long summer ahead of her, they might be worth the splurge considering their usability. Not only can they be dressed up or down, but the color is easily matched to numerous tops.

I like the handy pockets, the stretchy waistband (sometimes they’re the comfiest option), and the added elastic back (expandability!) Made of cotton/lycra, these shorts from stellamaternity.com will keep a stylish wardrobe stylish through pregnancy and keep mom cool.
