We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week, we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. This week, Tori is looking back at her vintage maternity style.
As you know by now, I have a special love affair with vintage . . . vintage clothing, vintage furniture, vintage jewelry, the list goes on and on. My good friend Vintage and I recently go a lot closer while I was pregnant with Baby Finn. As my belly bump (and Finn) kept growing, it became harder and harder to fit into my prepreggers clothing — with my vintage dresses being the only exception! No matter how many months along I was, or how big my bump got, my vintage frocks never failed me. I even wore one of my fave vintage sundresses to the hospital the day that Finn was born!

And now that Finn is here and my bump is gone, my vintage dresses are still there for me, and cuter than ever!

Now, let's take a little trip down pregger-memory lane! For your viewing pleasure, a picTORIal of how I dressed my bump in vintage . . .

Check out our picks for daring metallics, lovely lace accents, bold graphic prints, and more, and you'll feel as stylish as ever this season — even with that new, ever-growing bump.
