This week I’m excited to bring two different looks that I think would totally work for third trimester girls at the office.
I worked in a corporate office for over five years after school, so I hear you on trying to stay stylish and confident while abiding by a dress code. I always try to throw in some styled looks to inspire those of you in this boat! You can find some more office-friendly looks here, here and here.
I absolutely love this oversized shirt. I think it would look so fab dressed down with faux leather leggings and loafers or belted with a midi skirt and heels to the office. Topshop at Nordstrom has so many great, affordable pieces for fall that you can add to your closet without the guilt of splurging too hard. I’m sharing some of my favorite Topshop picks below!

I’d love to hear if pregnancy style or pregnancy office style is helpful to any of you or if this is not as relatable of a topic? I have managed to stay away from maternity clothes for 31 weeks of pregnancy other than a skirt, some jeans and leggings. I’ve loved being able to make regular pieces work that I can hopefully enjoy after pregnancy too!
Thanks so much for reading – XO –

Totally relatable! Thank you for sharing…love the idea of incorporating non-maternity clothes (best you can) to wear after pregnancy as well.
I mean, if you’re buying it, it’s nice to think you can at least TRY to wear it afterwards right?
Love this! I am 27 weeks pregnant and would LOVE to see more maternity styles for professional life. I went full speed ahead into maternity clothes. Mainly because non-maternity still forces me to size up and that also doesn’t allow for long term wear.
I am also 100% here for PP wear and the 5th trimester recommendations (a term I just learned for after leave is over but you are still not make to your normal self – if there is such a thing after having a child).
Thanks!
I think some pieces you can totally wear after pregnancy though – so be mindful of that when you’re buying new things! And thank you for the PP/5th trimester request! I have no idea what my body will be like then but I will absolutely keep that in mind. Very helpful!
More of this please! So relatable. I am due in February and am in a mild panic at the thought of wearing business maternity wear! Love the oversized shirt/midi skirt look!
I hear you – it’s tough. But NOT impossible!
I am also 8 months pregnant – love this look! Do you mind sharing what size you took in the shirt? Do you think it’s something you’ll still be able to wear post-pregnancy?
I ordered my usual size but I think if you’re NOT pregnant I would size down one size. And yes I think it could totally work after!
One of my absolute favorites! I would have originally thought this would be too bulky but it’s styled perfectly and very very flattering! Did I miss where the shoes are from?
Thank you! They are these heels.
Hey girl!
This is also a hot date night look that’s bump friendly! Could you layer the top over your slipdress too??
I don’t see why not!
