AN EFFORTLESS AND UNDER $20 DRESS THAT WORKS PREGNANT OR NOT

I’m at the point in my pregnancy where nothing really fits and I’m more comfortable in pajamas than anything else. I’m desperate for it to warm up a bit so I can trade my winter coat for a few easy dresses — I think I felt cuter at the end of my pregnancy with Teddy when it was summer and I could throw on a flowy dress, slip into sandals, and call it a day (see: every outfit in this post). Between the two dresses in this post and the one I’m about to share here, I just need the weather to cooperate so I can power through these final six weeks in something besides these leggings (which are admittedly an everyday staple, pregnant or not).

I ordered this dress from Amazon on a whim and was surprised by how much I love it in person. I hate to spend a ton of money on clothing I’ll only wear during pregnancy, but this dress is not only crazy affordable but perfectly wearable pre- and post-pregnancy as well. It’s not a maternity style, but the swingy silhouette is easy to wear with a bump if you size up (I’m wearing the size S here). The fabric is also super soft for this price point so it really is comfortable either lounging around the house or out and about. I’m planning to wear it with a denim jacket or field jacket and sneakers for this transitional season, my go-to sandals or espadrilles this summer, and even with a Barbour jacket and booties come fall. I haven’t tried it yet, but this dress is a cute short-sleeved version that looks equally versatile, particularly if you live in a warmer climate!
