The best way to make your maternity wardrobe last is to accessorize. Here are 3 ways I wore my new favourite Gap LBD of 3 different occasions using some great jewelry from my Accessorize gift box.

@18 WeeksΞ Work wear
You’ve seen this amazing necklace before and I’ve worn it tons with dresses, tunics, jeans and tshirts. Even though it is pretty bold, it seems to blend seamlessly into my wardrobe. I’ve always worn it with really colourful outfits, but I think it really pops against the neutral black and oatmeal. If you’re still not ready to tell the entire world about your pregnancy, a great necklace like this will draw all attention up and away from the baby bump.
@18 WeeksΞ For a dinner party
These photos aren’t the best because I got dressed about five minutes before our guests arrived. That’s the best part about simple accessories that pack a big punch–you can look really pulled together without putting too much effort into it. Any type of wrap or tied belt is a must for expecting gals. You get the great look of wide, waisted belts but can adjust it to fit. I found a few weeks ago that elastic belts were starting too get a bit uncomfortable. As of the time of posting, this necklace isn’t available online, but the Tropical Soul Bead Necklace is a close alternative. Actually, I might have to get it!
@20 Weeks Ξ Lunch Date and Meetings Around Town
On this occasion, I was running around town to meetings and a lunch date, so I wanted to look professional and stand out a bit. The skinny belt and corsage necklace give the look mod feel. If I wasn’t crisscrossing the Liffey, I probably would have worn my knee high boots. I also wore a long black cardigan for the office, but it wasn’t that cute in the pics. I love that the corsage necklace falls just at the neckline. Even though I’ve worn this dress a lot, gals in the office thought it was new and that the rosettes were part of the dress.
If you haven’t seen this necklace around, you just haven’t been looking hard enough. It has turned up on a ton of blogs and magazine spreads lately. You can get yours online here.
