In my prepregnancy life, I might never have picked this dress. Something about it being too body-conscious and putting my curves on display would have made me second-guess it every time I put it on. I would have complained about how my hips looked and how wide the horizontal stripes made me feel; but with a round belly prominently on display, I leaned into the fit. It made me smile to see my bump getting bigger and showing it off a little; like the rest of my maternity wardrobe, it makes me happy to put it on. Fortunately, it continues to stretch into my third trimester and goes with both fancy-schmancy shoes and basic sneakers. Again, versatility is key . . . but it doesn't have to mean a plain black t-shirt dress.
