Style The Bump | Chunky Sweater + Leggings

Spoiler alert, I’m not pregnant. However, I do have a handful of outfit pictures that were never shared and so here we are.

If there’s one thing I wore over and over again, it had to be my Blanqi leggings. Those were so vital thanks to the fabric’s comfortable support (which is key when pregnant). These leggings are also one of the first things I end up recommending to expectant friends.

Because leggings were usually on, I would end up styling them with chunky sweaters, shackets, blazers, and oversized tops. Anything that could fit the bump and made me felt cute, basically.

Breakfast of the Champions

Found these in my camera roll from December 2019! A few months before NYC went into lockdown.

The streets were so alive, vibrant, and yes, dirty. Even in the cold.

What’s funny, is that even years later, this is still somewhat my go-to cozy outfit: a matching sweatsuit with scuff-free sneakers. It looks and feels so effortless. There are so many different variations and colors in my closet that I need to downsize in order to reclaim some much-needed closet space. (This is where I plug in to follow me on Depop and Poshmark).

If you’ve been inspired to try on this trend, definitely check out Aritzia, Gap, and Alo Yoga! Sharing a few cute ones below too.

Feelin' The Force

Essentials really do stand the test of time. For example, these photos were taken sometime in 2016 (nearly 7 years ago!) but the neutral styling makes the outfit look polished.

So if you haven’t already, make this the year you take stock of which essentials you have and invest in quality pieces that will last. Here’s a great article from Vogue on closet staples.

Not sure where to start? Let’s take some inspiration from this outfit and start small with a white t-shirt and white tank.

Everlane, Aritzia, and Uniqlo are my favorite shops for basics and I gathered some must-haves in the grid below too!
