m.o.mLiving: STYLE ~ Holiday Looks for the M.O.M to Be

With the holidays here and the thought of 'what to wear' for celebrating the season and upcoming events can be tough especially when your belle' is growing daily (even when you haven't even been sampling the desserts)! 

Like the name of the store, where maternity meets CHIC we turned to our stylists from Belle' Up Maternity to help you M.O.Ms get THE LOOKS for the holidays to make you feel as special as the season.

LOOK NO. 1: Ripe Marcel Satin Dress ($187) (http://www.shop.belleup.com/Ripe-Marcel-Satin-Dress-RLW4011.htm); Freshwater Pearl Necklace ($40).

Many will swear that it’s not possible to look this fabulous and be pregnant! We love the Marcel dress for its elegant femininity. We paired it with classic freshwater pearls to complete a royal look.

LOOK NO. 2: Olian Ponti Cargo Jacket ($135) (http://www.shop.belleup.com/Olian-Ponti-Cargo-Jacket-I-8141-13.htm?categoryId=-1); Ripe Fontaine Silk Top ($96) – (http://www.shop.BELLEUP.COM/Ripe-Fontaine-Silk-Top-RLS0241.htm); Maternal America Wide Leg Trouser ($90) (http://www.shop.belleup.com/Maternal-America-Wideleg-Trouser-BLACK-P6034-BLK.htm?categoryId=-1); Silver Ball Necklace ($20).

Who says that you have to choose a dress to achieve a fun, sophisticated holiday look?! Here’s a recipe that you can’t mess up: start with a gorgeous silk top; add simple, yet flattering, black trousers; throw in a bold pop of color like a red jacket or cardi; season to taste with a dainty, adjustable-length necklace; and voila … PERFECTION!

LOOK NO. 3: Pouch Classic Versatile Dress ($150) (http://www.shop.BELLEUP.COM/Pouch-Classic-Versatile-Dress-16.htm); Champagne Bauble Necklace ($32).


Q: Where do you turn when you have 3 different holiday parties, but you don’t want to blow all of your holiday savings on a different outfit for each one? A: C’mon, give us a harder question! The Pouch versatile dress, of course! Get endless looks that will have you rocking the night away thru New Year’s Eve and way beyond.

LOOK NO. 4: Noppies Lewis Trench Coat ($155) (http://www.shop.belleup.com/Noppies-Lewis-Trench-Coat-00540.htm?categoryId=-1); Olian Turtleneck Tunic Dress ($121) (http://www.shop.belleup.com/Olian-Sweater-Turtleneck-Dress-LW-478-42.htm?categoryId=-1); Chain Rhinestone Necklace - Silver ($36).

The plaid trench coat is a scrumptious treat for any mom-to-be (and, yes, it wear just as well after you deliver your little bundle). Pair it with the Turtleneck Tunic Dress—Olian’s ode to the haute mama who loves a good LBD (Little Black Dress)—and a stunning piece of jewelry, and you’re an instant show-stopper! Tip: If you don’t like showing a little leg, add Noppies’ plush over-the-belly cotton tights ($16) (http://www.shop.BELLEUP.COM/Noppies-Cotton-Tights-More-Colors-93003.htm), available in black or heather grey, or a long fashion legging.

*All jewelry available in store or by phone order.
