Now that I'm entering the last couple months of pregnancy I find myself reaching for those comfortable casual options the most. I love it when those options also happen to be chic at the same time. This striped ruched dress from Lilac Clothing is super flattering. You can wear it with flats, ankle boots (like I did here), or OTK boots. Such a cute option for fall and winter and even into spring. I love how Lilac Clothing's pieces are wearable for women of all shapes and sizes -- even through pregnancy. It's a win win when I can feel comfortable and look great in a piece of clothing during AND after my pregnancy.
I wore this dress to a meeting and to run some errands last week and it was the perfect head to toe look. It took mere minutes to put together, I was comfortable the entire day, and I still looked polished. Don't you just love days like that? Of course, nothing can pull a fall outfit together more than the utility jacket. I've said it countless times on my blog and I'll keep saying it, it's a classic staple that every gal (or guy) should have in their closet. It completes even the simplest of looks and it's a perfect layering piece on those days when the weather wants to play tricks on us.
