Annoyingly, my feet started to swell just as flip-flop season was coming to an end. I couldn't fit into a lot of my favorite boots and slip-ons, so on one particularly cold day, I had little choice but to attempt a somewhat polarizing trend. I channeled all things "normcore" and wore my Tevas with socks. (I know. Thankfully the ugly-shoe movement is still a thing, but it made the experience no less nerve-racking.)
The hidden benefit? I first spent a good hour clicking through street style photos for styling inspiration, and it made the whole process feel a lot more creative. In fact, I once paired them with denim overalls, another reemerging '90s trend, and I still think it was one of my coolest maternity style moments. Sure, it was no Kerry Washington Prada crop top, but now I see why she did it. Because she could.
