the fall back

Megan Nielsen maternity style: Briar crop top + Ruched maternity skirtGetting dressed when you’re pregnant can be a little stressful sometimes – I find the number of days when i look at my wardrobe and feel flustered at having nothing to wear just doubles when i’m pregnant.

So over time i’ve developed a few tricks – one of which is having a fall back outfit that always makes me feel good no matter what. This pregnancy that combo is a Briar crop top and a Ruched maternity skirt. I have a couple of Briar crop tops and Ruched skirts sitting next to each other in my wardobe that all mix and match perfectly – so when i bad day comes along, i can pull any two out, put them on and leave the house feeling like a look good.

It instantly turns a day that could have started badly, into one thats off to a cracking start :) No doubt i’ll be sharing more than few briars+ruched skirts with you this time round! Annnnd here’s how i wore this top before i was pregnant: one and two!

Congrats on your pregnancy Megan! I loved wearing the ruched skirt my last pregnancy but for some reason the cropped Briar didn’t work for me. Looks great on you though! Now post partum my Briar gets lots of wear :)

Isn’t it crazy how an outfit can influence the outcome of your day? I have a couple of similar go-to outfits in my wardrobe that I turn to when the day isn’t turning out so well and I need something trusty to wear.
