Describe your pregnancy style?
My pregnancy style pretty much mimicked my non pregnant style.
I lived in skinny jeans. I found a black pair that flattered me and teamed them with blouses and neat jackets for work with statement necklaces and cashmere jumpers and patterned scarves for the weekend.
What is your fail-safe outfit?
My seraphine black skinny jeans, white blouse top and Zara long-line tweed jacket (it doesn’t fasten over the bump but still looks great) with a pair of ankle boots.
What is your favourite piece from Seraphine?
I love the burgundy knit with zip details on the shoulder. Such an on trend colour and flattering shape whilst being really practical too.
What is the one style tip you want to share with other pregnant women?
Invest in some great support vests. Whatever I’m wearing I like to wear a comfy long-line vest underneath. These staples give a good silhouette making clothes more flattering. And the best bit is that you can continue to wear them after.
