My friend is pregnant, and she's afraid that she will lose her amazing style as her stomach grows. I keep telling her that she will look great, no matter what, but do you think you could put together a few outfits for a pregnant woman in different situations (work, dinner, date night, etc.)? Thanks so much for your help!

Dinner:
I have no doubt that dressing a growing bump can be tricky at best, but if she sticks to easy basics, she can still feel stylish and comfortable in her own skin. Like the Citizens of Humanity skinnies above, so many denim companies are now offering their premium sought-after styles in maternity-friendly versions. By investing in a great pair of maternity denim that she is comfortable wearing, her wardrobe will suddenly have many more options for getting dressed. (For a slightly more affordable pair, check out the great styles available from Topshop.) Paired with an oversized tunic, distressed boots, a contrasting clutch and simple gold jewelry, this look screams style instead of "I'm pregnant, and this is all that fits." For easy weekend options (see below), stock up on leggings, jersey maxi skirts, cozy cardigans and layered knits (a la today's Inspiration, fellow preggo Hilary Duff). For easy workday-wear, she may want to invest in a versatile black maternity pencil skirt and blazer combo, depending on her job. Layer this stretch blazer over a tank, and add loafers, a great handbag and sleek gold accessories for a comfortable and professional look. Hope this helps!
