With my waistline expanding, I’ve been looking for some maternity wear to accomodate my changing shape over the next several months. But I also want them to look pretty stylish.

I am already a fan of FashionJunkee, and most of their dresses and tops are made from that soft, stretchy, cottony material – comfy, breathable, and clings to all the right places.

So I got my hands on some gorgeous styles that I could wear as a normal dress and as a maternity dress. I’m so happy with them. Plus they are cheaper than many “proper” maternity dresses.

I wore the magenta dress to a salon launch event the other day. It was the first time I wore a such “hot” dress with my growing baby bump.

One side of my head was going “Hey if I’ve got a bump, I should flaunt it!” and the other side was saying “I know I’m PREGNANT, but I look BIG in this dress! Will people even realise that I’m pregnant??”. So I must admit, I felt a little timid as I arrived at the event.

But I got compliments! Random people were coming up to me and saying wow you’re pregnant, you look great, what a great dress etc. It was a bit weird being labelled “that pregnant woman” at the party. But heh, it made me happy.

So I wore the mocha dress (right) to a fashion show a few days later, and again I received nice comments!

These styles above are more everyday and casual. The teal one has been perfect for throwing on when I rush out the door to pick up the boys from school, or just hanging around at home on a hot afternoon. Stretchy and so comfy.

The black one is much more versatile, making it easy to dress it up or down, for day time or night.

I adore this grey dress because it doubles as a long top! Ah, it’s SO comfy and breathable. I’d wear it more often, but haha I’m so embarrassed when people point it out more than once. I might have to get some similar styles in different colours now.

Check out the whole range of off-shoulder tops / mini dresses. I have the short sleeve one in grey.

This rouched-sleeve one also looks really nice.

I really admire FashionJunkee for being such a charity conscious and globally aware company. So I also got two cool t-shirts for my boys. Sean wears the Vintage World Peace Tee by LollipopZen. Callum wears the Omni Peace t-shirt by Signorelli (50% of procreeds go to charity).

They have a charity page where they sell t-shirts, tops and tanks by Signorelli, with proceeds going to Omni Peace & Children’s Health Fund tees. Very cool.
