The print detraction



Pregnancy legs are bordering on getting the better of me. From my last pregnancy i know i get a fair amount of water retention in my legs and it makes them swell a little, the sight of which left me all but discarding skirts from my wardrobe this morning. I've been trying to stay healthy and not 'eat for two' as the old adage goes but it hasn't stopped the swell. But i accepted this is part and parcel of the wonder that is child bearing and went with this dress anyway as i really like the print and am hoping it will  detract from my cankles.

It's courtesy of New Look and was bought with some vouchers i got for taking part in a maternity project for them. I have to admit when i went to spend my vouchers, I couldn't find a whole lot in the maternity section that i was particularly sold on. However I think their regular collection is really impressive this season and the empire cut on this graphic print dip hem dress nicely accommodates the bump. It is nice and sheer and has black thick straps. I've been hugely tempted by the collarless blazers in Zara this season, in fact seriously tempted by the collection as a whole for the last year (just divine!) but with a little Danny Zuko flick of the collar, a similar look can be achieved with an old Zara standard blazer with lapels. Black shoe boots also from New Look...x Talia
