I’m not going to lie, I’m still squeezing into non-maternity clothes! Maternity options can be so expensive and so limited, so I’ve been trying to size up in normal clothes before I resort to maternity wear. Except for jeans, because dang those get tight fast! I’ve been loving these Motherhood Maternity jeans this pregnancy {P.S. they’re 40% off right now!}. I find that maternity jeans that go over the belly are more comfortable than the pairs with stretchy tabs on the sides.

I love wearing Eliza J dresses and am so glad I was still able to fit into this pretty floral one. You might remember, I also wore this winter floral Eliza J dress this fall and guess what?? Now it’s on sale!

To make florals appropriate for winter, I try to keep three things in mind. Cut, color, and fabric. First things first, the clothing has to be somewhat winter-appropriate with longer hems and sleeves. Second, rich or dark colors feel more wintery than pastels. Third, a thick or luxurious fabrics like wool and velvet will keep you warm and on trend!

This adorable winter coat is such a great example of a winter floral. It’s a slightly dusky, muted color combined with a winter cut and fabric. It’s so much cuter than your traditional puffer jacket too!

I paired my florals with more feminine details {no surprise there!} like this pretty pink purse {the nylon material has been such a help in the rain this week!}. But you could totally pair your florals with edgier accessories like this great {and under $50!} faux suede moto jacket.

SHOP WINTER FLORALS

You’ve probably noticed me wearing winter florals in the past, I really do find them just to be the prettiest way to warm up a winter outfit. Do you ever wear winter florals or do you save florals for the warmer months?
