Bump Style: Featuring Blush Pink Maternity + GIVEAWAY!

40 Comments

pink blush maternity

There are a lot of things that you don’t know when you first become pregnant. A LOT. One of those things is that it’s really hard to find cute maternity clothes that won’t break the bank. I’m not sure why maternity boutiques justify jacking the prices, maybe it’s all that extra fabric to cover our bumps : ) I’m not down with spending a fortune on clothes I will only wear for a few months so as soon as my jeans started getting tight I began my hunt for budget friendly maternity clothes.

Several of my friends recommended Pink Blush Maternity and I can totally see why. They are an online shop that sells trendy maternity clothes at reasonable prices. Finally! Once I looked at their website I realized their clothing is totally my style. Almost every piece is shown on a pregnant woman AND non-pregnant model. These clothes are meant to be worn pre/during/post baby bump. So you won’t be tossing out these things once the baby arrives.

As a side note, I should say that not everyone needs to purchase maternity wear. I know people who bought one pair of maternity jeans and rocked their regular wardrobe all 9 months long. WERK GIRL! But for me, my clothes are starting to fit really weird and even my trusty leggings are feeling uncomfortable. I’ll admit, when my favourite pair of leggings started digging into my tummy ’twas a sad sad day. So if you are like me and need a few pieces to help get you to that 9 month mark, Pink Blush might be worth a browse.

Beige Lace Lined Flare Maternity Top ($35)

This light-knit tunic is beyond comfy. I’ll be wearing this long after the baby arrives! I love the lace detailing along the bottom. It does wrinkle easily so if you are lazy and hate to iron (like me) it’s something to note.

Black Plaid Layered Knit Maternity Top ($34)

I’m obsessed. As with all Pink Blush clothing it is meant to be worn before, during and after pregnancy! And this little number will get a lot of wear for years to come. The back is cut open with the plaid peeking through and I love those little extra details.

It’s a little see through (which I didn’t realize until after I took these photos) so next time I’ll wear a black tank underneath. Oops!

Charcoal Crochet Cuff Hooded Knit Maternity Top ($34 US)

This is a gauze-y long sleeved shirt that is long enough to be worn over leggings but I decided to roll up the hem a bit and wear it with jeans. It’s not super warm so layering is key with this piece, but I love the pocket in the front and the hood too. The embroidered sleeves are so pretty!

  5. Megan,

    Stumbled upon your blog (LOVE, btw) through the ever expanding world of social media. Not sure if you’ll remember me but we used to work together (briefly) at Empire theaters in St. Catherines…we also took pop music class with T. Cox..anywho, even if you don’t recall, it’s so great to ‘see’ you. You look perfectly pregnant and again just wanted to say I’m loving the blog. 🙂

    My fav pregnancy movie is Nine Months…it was made in the 90s so I’m sure it is horribly outdated but good for a laugh. If you have Netflix, you’ll find it there..

    All the best,

    Kayleigh

    • Hey Kayleigh! I think I do remember you, though it’s been a few years since the old Empire Theatre days : ) I hope all is well with you! I am so happy you are enjoying the blog and thanks so much for taking the time to comment! xo

  6. I love the second one!! My favourite pregnant “movie” is the YouTube video “I’m so pregnant”. It is SO accurate!! And girl names I like are Amy and Emmi 🙂

  7. You are really rocking the bump style! It’s so nice to know there’s companies out there that understand most people don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on maternity clothes…but it’s still nice to know you can wear these pieces after the baby arrives too.

  11. I’ve decided we live parallel lives! My husband and I are going to be first time parents in March to a little girl as well aside from our little frenchie son, Rooney 🙂

    As for favorite girls names, my all time favorite and the one we chose for our upcoming little bundle is Lucy 🙂

    Other names high on the list are Pippa, Isla, and Penelope (Penny) 🙂

    • That’s crazy! Are you in the WTE FB group for March Moms? I agree, seems like we are totally life-twins right now 🙂 Congrats on your little bundle of joy! Lucy is such a beautiful name!

  12. What to Expect When You’re Expecting is a hilarious pregnancy movie! Just watched it the other day and couldn’t stop cracking up!!!

  14. Love that these clothes can be warn after baby comes. It stinks to buy clothes that will only fit for a little while. Especially if you love them!!

  16. My favorite girl name is Maisy, pronounced like Daisy. I’m having my second boy so I won’t get to use it but maybe one day I’ll get to name a dog or something 😉

  17. Clearly I’ve been gone from blogland for way too long – congratulations Megan!! You look beautiful in all these pieces – you style the bump to perfection!

  19. Hi Megan
    My favorite pregnancy “movie” is The Business of Being Born on Netflix. So eye-opening for me as a mother. And my favorite baby girl name (I only have boys, number 3 will be here on Valentine’s day ) is Valerie.

  25. My favorite movie that’s mostly pregnancy related is Where the Heart Is – I just think Natalie Portman’s character is the cutest pregnant girl!

  29. I know!!! It’s crazy the maternity clothes section – I managed until now (40 weeks) not to buy any of those expensive pieces. It’s quite a challenge but you gotta be a little creative as you say. You go girl! Keep an eye out on you, keep up the good work 🙂
