CONGRATULATIONS!  Expecting a new baby envelopes a new Mama and Papa with so many emotions.  Once the elation of an ever-changing life settles, the preparation begins and so does the unsettling feeling in Mama's mid-section.  To help ease some of the adventure into the world of pregnancy brain, here is a list of some basic maternity wardrobe must-haves, all made in the USA.

1.  Wrap dress
2.  Spanx Power Mama Shaper
3.  Cardigan: A maternity cardigan is more practical during the winter since you will be covering up more than any other season.  Otherwise, you might be able to get away with your pre-pregnancy cardigan.
4. Yoga Pants: Comfort, comfort, comfort!


5.  The Ultimate Maternity Belt:  The belt provides support for lower back pain - and you will get it.  (Think yoga cat pose)
6.  Maternity Jeans - Boot Cut: These complement any body type.  The boot-cut balances out your glowing mid-section.
7.  Maternity Belly Band: When you're in the home stretch of your ever-expanding bump, this Belly Band acts as an extender to your top when everything doesn't seem to fit anymore.
8.  Belly Bandit Tummy Wrap: Great for postpartum use.
9. Stockings / Tights: They help with swelling and tired legs and prevent varicose veins.  Remember no knee-high socks or stockings.
10.  Maxi Dress: A maxi dress forgives all, even during the last trimester when leg-crossing is both a near-impossibility and a no-no.
11.  Comfortable [Flat] shoes: A pair of sneakers can be included in the choice for comfortable shoes, especially for swelling feet.  If sneakers are not an option for you, try these Oka b Taylor Flats.

Ladies Fall Fashion Made in the USA

Fall is officially upon us and so is the addition of some fall fashion into our wardrobes.  Creating a board like this helps me to visualize actually looking like this.  I love the idea of adding accessories to update a wardrobe, while maintaining some beautiful staples. 

One trend this season is the addition of something in Emerald Green, so I added the cuff.  It makes a statement and is still practical for every day use.  A staple in every fall and winter wardrobe is a high-quality boot and scarf.  Let's face it.  A great boot makes the season so much better and this organic scarf adds a bit of panache to the ensemble.  

From the days of old, being presentable, even for a stay-at-home mom, seems like a trend worth adding back into the daily routine.  Here is an outfit that brings out the lady in you without being too fussy.  Best of all: all of the items pictured here are Made in the USA.

FEATURED ITEMS:
Dress: About the Artist Dress in Navy from ModCloth
Sweater: Lacy Day Off Cardigan from ModCloth
Belt: Westward Dreams Belt from ModCloth
Earrings: South Gold Triangle Earrings from Layla Grayce
Scarf: Romance-Tryst Organic Scarf from Beau Monde Organics
Cuff: Chrysocolla Stone Cuff from Riley & Coco
Leather Bag: Leather Satchel Messenger Bag, Purse Small from Rustic Leather
Boots: FRYE Women's Knee-High Boot from Frye Boots




What are some of your fall fashion must-haves?  What's something that you will be adding to your wardrobe this season?  I would love to read about it.

Note:  The boots are made in the USA.  As of posting date, however, Amazon's website says they are made in Mexico.  I contacted Frye about the discrepancy.  They confirmed the boots are made in the USA and they are in the process of correcting the country of origin on Amazon's website.
