Simple or Swank: Black Maternity Dress

babysugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:00:23 -0700

Whether it's for her own baby shower or a Summer wedding, baby mama has got to outfit that beautiful bump in something comfortable and flattering. The little black dress does the trick and will work for more than one occasion. The wrap function will take her into her postpartum nursing days, too!

Simple: The cotton and Modal blend Old Navy dress is machine washable and hardly looks like a $25 bargain.

Swank: The polished DKNY cap-sleeve frock has a more fitted look thanks to the spandex and viscose components. The $345 garb may turn heads, but unfortunately it's dry clean only.

Baby Bump: Keeping the Bump Cozy

babysugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 05:00:15 -0700

While Summer affords pregnant bellies the luxuries of swimming and breathable cottons, I found that sporting a large bump in the Fall and Winter months is quite a treat. I have the benefit of cuddling up in a bulky sweater with a pair of plush corduroys.

Old Navy has some bargain sale prices while Pea in the Pod has some swanky styles. Although I only have a month (or maybe less) left of pregnancy, I am taking advantage of these fabulous fashions as the chilly weather begins to settle in around here.

Simple or Swank: Fashionable Tube Socks

babysugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:00:28 -0700

Heading back to school means stocking up on basic items like notebooks, pencils, socks, tees and sneakers. A popular brand among elementary and tween girls, Juicy Couture makes frilly and sporty gear to suit the most posh of princesses. The problem is not every mom can (or wants to) pay the label's high prices. Check out these trendy tube socks that are nearly indecipherable.

Simple: Get the festive tube look with the colorful hearts and skulls on a pair of $3 Old Navy socks.
Swank: If you must wear the label, the "Juicy Couture Addict" or "The Queen Wears Juicy" footwear may suit your fancy. Buyer beware . . . the $48 four pack is hardly a steal!

Simple or Swank: Oxford Shirts

LilSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700

It's amazing how well kids clean up. It doesn't matter if your son likes to play in the dirt or run the field, the easiest way to dress him up is with a classic oxford shirt. So button him up for back-to-school or outfit him in some Sunday best with the long sleeved wardrobe staple.
Simple: The single pocket chambray blue button up ($10) from Old Navy is a steal.
Swank: This one pocket blue shirt wonder ($58) from Peek...Aren't You Curious has subtle red accent stitching.
Which one fits your young man's fancy?

Hot fun in the summertime! School's coming to a close and the pools are set for swimming. Make sure your lil one is geared up for fun in the sun with an itsy bitsy teeny weeny striped bikini. Your surfer girl will be ready to brave the waves in a two piece that shows off her sassy personality while maintaining age appropriate style.

Simple: The three–piece suit from Old Navy is a steal at $23 as it gives your babe the option to be playful in the sand with the boy shorts or a sun diva in the bikini bottom.

Baby Bump: Maternity Tops for Pregolicious Mamas

babysugar — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:01:45 -0800

It's warm today and it got me thinking about Spring clothing. Many pregnant ladies like to hide behind chunky sweaters and sweatpants but I think burgeoning bellies should be showcased and celebrated. And with the temperatures on the rise (thank goodness), there may be no other choice.

For the chic Spring mammas, there are some sprightly floral prints and soft hues to ease your way back into the sun. To round out the selection, I included a few pieces to keep in your closet for a night out the town, the work place, or that shower your BFF is throwing you.

Old Navy Tie-Shoulder Babydolls ($20)	A Pea in the Pod Diane von Furstenberg Top ($80)
A Pea in the Pod Smocked Blouse ($145)	Gap Pleated Blouse ($50)	Mimi Maternity Black Chiffon Blouse ($15)

Supersize This: Zebra Print Ballet Flats

babysugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:00:06 -0800

When your daughter belts out lamentations at the top of her lungs, it makes you wonder if she has animal instincts. All lil girls should show their wild side every now and then.

They can look the part in these sassy Zebra Print Ballet Flats ($10) from Old Navy. Shown in the brown and tan zebra print, the flats also come in red and brown leopard spots.

So rather than just listening to the growls and roars, suit her up in some flashy safari gear.
