Prego Fashionista? Diane von Furstenberg makes pregnancy chic!



I don't know about you, but I absolutely adore Diane von Furstenberg. That doesn't mean I can fit into the clothing, if we're being honest. However, I'm used to perusing her website, magazines and catalogs and dreaming of the day I'll be a 12 or very small 14 (and be able to afford them).

Every now and then I'll stumble across a piece at Goodwill. I've found several wrap dresses, a couple of skirts and some gorgeous little tops. I've come to recognize her tag. There are some specialty lines, but I've only ever seen the "Vintage" line.

So you can imagine my surprise (and excitement) when I spotted this gorgeous little number. It was one of those instances where I saw it a mile away. When I swept it into my hands, I was shocked to see it was DvF...Maternity?

I of course went straight to the internet and started to do some research. First I need to ensure that this isn't a fake. Luckily, it's got all the info I need it to have. I now know the name is "Bohemette". Odd.

According to Bellymaternity.ca., DvF maternity can only be purchased online at this maternity boutique, or by visiting the Belly maternity store in Canada. Here I am in Atlanta, GA wondering how in the world this beauty made it's way here.

Apparently the brand will be sold in Neiman Marcus store soon enough. Then I can expect to see much more of it in Goodwill stores.

Here's my opinion on the matter. Yes I love DvF, yes I love the look of pregnancy. But it just seems so odd to spend so much on the clothing that can only be worn for a few months. But, I get it. It's the answer to the "What will I wear to that wedding/cocktail party/Gala?" question that Fashionista Mommies occasionally ask.

Now, to be more "top specific", here are a few details about this gorgeous piece. It's silk, of course. Has a bold and beautiful abstract floral print. Mandarin style collar that ties at the neck. Plenty of belly bump room. Completely sheer. Completely gorgeous. Ok, I get it. Of course I paid $5 for it. So it's a steal for me. And I'm passing along the deal to another fortunate Mommy in waiting.

One more thing, before you go. Can you explain pregnancy spanx to me? Doesn't that just seem wrong?
