@24 WeeksΞ On one of those rare sunny, warm Irish days we dropped all our plans and headed over to a friends for a BBQ. It was essential that I change from post-yoga sweats into something cool, comfy and bright. You never know when you can bust out a sleeveless dress in Dublin, so I take every chance I can to soak up that vitamin D!

These shots were quick as we headed out the door (after making a yummy salad full of fresh veg from the Ranelagh Village Market), but you get the idea. I got this dress during my San Francisco trip at Old Navy for $15. It’s perfect maternity style to give you room to grow your bump–elasticated empire waist, lots of gathering and jersey. I wish we had a shop like Old Navy here to supply good, cheap, basic maternity items. Prices at some Irish shops make me sad. So American mamas-to-be (or gals with US connections), be sure to check out your local ON for summer essentials.
