Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool crisp air as it blows through the trees and the rustling sound it makes. I love when the sun peers through the red leaves and lights up like fire, or sipping hot chocolate out of my favorite mug. But my favorite thing of all is fall fashion. When I can pull my knee high boots, over sized sweaters, and leggings out from the back of my closet. However, I found it is much more difficult to look cute for fall when your sporting a pumpkin under your shirt. How many pregnant woman can identify?

When fall rolled around I was in my second trimester with twins. My belly looked like I was ready to give birth any day. I also found myself struggling with major hot flashes which made wearing those oversized sweaters I adored on the cover of Pea In the Pod magazines impossible to wear. I also lived in Texas, which lets face it, our fall consists of weather in the low 70s maybe 60’s if we are lucky. Still I wanted to look cute and stylish while pregnant.

Here are my top 5 tips and fashion hacks for fall during pregnancy.

Leggings. Maternity leggings are probably the most comfortable thing you can wear while growing a tiny human in your uterus. They are also versatile and can be worn with almost anything.
Crochet Shaw. I first saw one of these worn by Jessica Simpson. She now has it as apart of her collection. Its super versatile, keeps you warm, but easy to take off if you have a hot flash.
Boots. This is one of the iconic fall fashion trends. Boots can go with a good pair of jeans or leggings and they are super comfortable.
Skinny jeans. Another must have for fall. There is generally a Motherhood store in every mall that offers a affordable selection of skinny jeans for $34-$40.
Variety of tops. Whether a sweater, mid arm, or t-shirt, most any top can be worn with leggings, boots, and a scarf or shaw to pull off the fall fashion style you desire. I suggest purchasing several different tops and mix matching them between jeans and leggings.

I hope this helps. Have fun sporting your bump this fall season.
