Maternity Style | How to Wear a Maxi Dress in the First Trimester

Spread the love

1-first-trimester-pregnancy-style

Happy Tuesday!! Can y’all believe we’re already halfway through July?! We’ve had a busy month so far. We celebrated our baby’s first birthday and his party is this weekend! I’m still in denial that a year has passed so quickly and that he’s a year old!  I just need time to slow down a little bit, especially since we’re now expecting a third baby boy! Three boys!! We’re super excited! I love being pregnant and styling a growing bump is my favorite! So I thought I’d share my pregnancy style with y’all throughout each trimester.  Maxi dresses have always been a go-to piece for me regardless if I’m pregnant or not.  This maxi, in particular, is from thredUP and perfect for the first trimester.

This third pregnancy will be the exact same months that I carried Harper.  In fact, their due dates are only 2 days apart. So as I’m adding pieces to my wardrobe right now, I’m leaning towards flowy pieces that will stretch until we get to fall!  I’ve gotten a few pieces from ThredUP and they’ve been amazing! This dress is one that’s perfect for those earlier days when your bump is growing and just starting to make its appearance!  Maxi’s are super versatile and this one’s great for day or night! All ya need to do is dress it up or down!  I’m obsessed with this necklace from Francesca’s and thought it was a great fit with the dress! And these shoes…LOVE THEM!!  Of course, you can’t ever go wrong with Target!

I’ve got more cute maternity pieces coming as I move into the second trimester and cooler weather comes around, so stay tuned! Have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!

    Love these tips! I have 2 boys, and they were due 2 months apart so I (kind of) get the whole pregnancy progress being about the same as the previous pregnancy. (if that made sense?) Congrats on baby number 3!!

      Haha! Totally makes sense! This is pretty much the same pregnancy as my first son when it comes to the months I’ll be carrying this one. Thanks for reading. :)

✨Come along with me for a Chemical Peel with @_s ✨Come along with me for a Chemical Peel with @_sundayskin_ in Brentwood. Check out my stories for more details from @caroline.tingquist.np ✨

If you don’t know anything about chemical peels, you’re going to have some downtime after it due to the peeling. This was my first one and I was a little nervous if I’m being honest. 🙈 This particular peel was the most intense one that Sunday Skin offers. To my surprise, the process really wasn’t bad at all. It’s was pretty warm on my face immediately after but the fan helped tremendously. 

My top layer of skin definitely peeled but it wasn’t crazy. I wish y’all could have felt the skin on my face after it healed! 🙌🏼 😍 It was glowing and the texture was so much better. The benefits from this treatment are endless! I’ll forever praise microneedling and chemical peels because of how they transform my skin.

Nashville friends, you have to go check them out. Be sure to watch the “Sunday Skin” story highlight I’ve got saved with all the deets. 

✨Ok, ladies! I want to know what is your favorite skincare treatment you’ve ever had?✨
Before the chaos of summer and our move happened, Before the chaos of summer and our move happened, we escaped to Mexico for a little vaca just the two of us. 🏝☀️

What a great trip to start this new chapter of our lives. We had uninterrupted time for each other. I started reading again and made it through two books. We got some serious vitamin D and put our phones down. Quite frankly, it was glorious. 

Do y’all find that the longer you’re away from social media the harder it is to come back? Disconnecting feels sooooo good and it gives you perspective. So, if you haven’t seen me on here much… that’s why. 

It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of social media. Especially when you run it as a business and feel the pressure to try and jump through IG’s hoops to get in front of the people who actually follow you and want to see your content. It’s a mental game that’s not fun to play. I miss the days where you could post freely. Without hashtags or any other tactics to get your picture in friends’ feed. Without wondering if the time of day is good to hit publish. Without wondering if you’ll get the likes and comments because that’s what helps you get jobs. It’s exhausting. 
** My blogger friends will feel me deeply on this. 

BUT what I do love about modern technology and these apps is the connection it’s brought me. I’ve got friends all over the US and these things keep me connected. They let me feel like I’m still a part of their lives from afar. It’s also allowed me to “meet” so many of you sweet IG friends. I’ve really enjoyed that aspect of this community over my 7 years on this app. 

So if you follow me and happen to scroll across this today, thank you for being here.🤍 Truly. 

Say hi in the comments or shoot me a DM. Talking with y’all and building relationships has always been my favorite thing about this space!

Something I made sure to do before leaving Nashvil Something I made sure to do before leaving Nashville was to get my brows redone and get lip blushing. I’m the kind of girl that loves to simplify where I can. The best thing about permanent makeup is that it helps you do just that. I don’t have to pencil in my brows anymore and all I wear is clear gloss. 😍🙌🏼 Obsessed is an understatement! 

I was so excited to meet Lex (@cosmeticallyinkedbylex) and get in her chair! We picked a color for my lips and she did a color correction and powder brow. I’m so excited to share my results with y’all. I’ve had so many people asking where I got them done and…

Hey, friends! It’s been a while since I’ve sha Hey, friends! It’s been a while since I’ve shared anything on here. The past few months have flown by insanely fast since announcing that we were moving to Louisiana. 

With a major transition happening with our family, I decided to put my phone down. I’ve spent the last few months spending time with my family, designing a new home build, packing our house, soaking in everything we loved in Franklin/Nashville, and being present. 

To be honest, it’s all been a bit overwhelming. I moved so much throughout my life and have lived in many houses. As I began to truly process this move, I realized the gravity of leaving our home behind. We built it in seven years ago and brought 2 of my babies home here. It’s the longest house I’ve ever lived in and it was with MY family.

When all the boxes were gone, I walked through the rooms and around the house remembering all of the memories through each stage of our life over the years. I tried to take it all in, to freeze those moments in my mind knowing it was the last time I’d be in that house. 

Walking out the front door one last time was the hardest thing I’ve done in a long time. I’m so thankful God brought us back here for a short time and all that came along with it. Many sweet memories were made on this porch and within these walls. This photo will always be one of my favorites. It signifies the close to this chapter of our lives in Franklin. I’m leaving a small bit of my heart here. We sure will miss you, Tennessee. ❤️
