@20 WeeksΞ Proof positive that you don’t always need to wear maternity clothes when you’re pregnant. Of course, it all depends on your own personal body shape. I’m pretty small up top and have super narrow shoulders so must of my looser and longer tops still fit through the 5th month. In fact, this top is a child’s! (Here I am wearing it last summer)

This is one of my favourite outfits because it reminds me of home and has lovely bright colours. It’s probably pretty cheesy, but I wore it to my 20 week scan because I’m definitely going to raise this little guy to love his Tex-Mex roots–one delicious taco at a time!

Now a quick note about maternity jeans. They are great and really help your maternity wardrobe expand. As you’re buying things focus on basics and make fair use of everything you have that still fits. I recommend getting jeans with the large over-belly panel. They are ultimately more comfortable and will last longer as you grow and grow. The only downside is that you’ll see the dark panel under light tops, so make sure you invest in some tanks to wear under everything.

If you like this look but won’t be in Market Square anytime soon, there’s a cute embroidered tunic at H&M in the garden collection for €9.95 and keep your eye out for the obligatory hippie festival wear coming out soon.
