This week’s maternity style inspiration from expecting mom Liz showcases one of our favorite wardrobe essentials: the little black dress! In an outfit that can be worn to work, out for dinner or even just lounging around the house, here’s why you should recreate the look.

The classic and chic little black dress is a must-have in every woman’s wardrobe and is a mom-to-be favorite. Liz wears this staple style in a maternity go-to silhouette, a Side Ruched Maternity Dress. Wearing our elbow sleeve version, Liz proves why having essentials that flatter your figure are key to maternity style ease. This comfy knit dress easily adjusts to your growing bump and it looks amazing after baby too! Easy to style and versatile, a black dress works well on its own or can be layered under a denim or anorak jacket for a casual look or a blazer to the office.  For a special occasion, just add a sparkly earring and colorful heels for a look that makes a statement.  We love how Liz added seasonal fall accessories like a floppy hat and a belt that accentuates her best accessory, the bump!
