Yes, I am talking about comfort all this while. Don’t get me wrong but some women cannot abandon their love for heels even during the pregnancy period. The comfort of the clicking of heels is a pleasure on its own. If you are one of those women who need a pair of good heels or even wedges that will go with your dresses or even jeans for any occasion then you must own a pair. Your shoe size may vary and so you must be very careful with the size of heels you buy. Make sure it is very comfortable and secure to avoid any risk.
Comfort, comfort and comfort! This is all you need during this precious period. If you feel like being extra, you can go all the way there. There is no limitation in fashion for pregnant women. You can use layers over your dresses or even shirts if you are trying to hide the bump in your office place or if you are the kind of person who doesn’t want to reveal too soon.
Make sure you invest in the right place. You don’t want to go broke and you certainly don’t want to keep investing for these nine months and be left with clothes you will never use. Some essentials are obviously unavoidable but making right choices will help you cover everything.
