Flowy Dresses

I’m in my third trimester nearing the end of my pregnancy, but I thought I would do a little recap of all the flowy dresses I have been loving during my 2nd trimester until now.

The dresses below have made it easy for me during the summer to feel put together, but also not having to think too much on looking cute. They are all super comfortable, non-maternity (so you can totally rock them without a bump), and have helped with keeping me cool in the heat. They can also easily transition you into fall with a cute sweater or cardigan and some booties. Which is always plus! Now onto the dresses…

Looking for ways to stay cute while pregnant? Today I'm sharing all my favorite flowy dresses I have been wearing starting in my 2nd trimester until I'm about to pop. #flowydresses #pregnancystyle #bumpstyle #2ndtrimester #3rdtrimester

Asos has great affordable dresses and this swing dress has come in super handy with my growing bump. It’s currently on sale for $22 too! I love this pop of color and it will be a great dress to style in the fall with a chunky sweater and some booties as well.

The next three flowy dresses are from H&M. They always have affordable trendy options that make me feel so feminine.

This last dress is the ultimate dressed up t-shirt dress I have worn numerous times. If you aren’t pregnant, it could be super cute styled with a belt.

I love this rust color for summer and the length is great for any height. I’m going to be honest, my chest has grown as well as the bump so the smocked top really comes in handy for a little extra room up top. I styled this dress more casual with my favorite summer bag (similar here), Gigi Pip hat, and slide sandals.

Trapeze Mini ASOS Dress

This green dress is the same style, but the mini version in a pop of green. Plus it’s currently on sale!! Both dresses are super lightweight and oh so comfortable. Something I really look for while my bump is growing. I styled this one with the same bag and black slides. These dresses are perfect to throw on whether you are heading to the store or out to dinner. You can dress them up or down which in my book is always a win!

For reference I’m wearing a size US 6 in both.

I have linked a few other colors both of these dresses come in below because a lot of them are on sale! A good time to stock up before the temps get really hot!

ASOS Dress

It’s true when they say you show sooner come your second pregnancy. I was never really a dress girl until I had my first baby, but they have been my saving grace this second time around. So when I found a maxi that wasn’t too long on my 5’3″ frame to wear with flats I had to share!

The really awesome thing about this maxi is that it’s not maternity and it has this incredible statement puff sleeve. I am actually really loving this trend right now. I have always had more muscular arms and I feel like this trend really works with any body type, which I’m all about.

Target Mules 

This dress has an affordable price point which is a score and because the fabric is lightweight and super comfortable, this dress can definitely take you from spring all the way through summer. Say a Saturday outdoor concert or Sunday brunch with the family!

Ivory Sundress

If you follow me on Instagram (@vivianandviolet) you probably have seen that we are expecting! My husband and I are overjoyed along with feeling super blessed. We can’t wait to meet our little one but for now, I’m just learning how to dress this new changing body (I’m currently 17 weeks!!). My pants don’t fit me anymore so belly bands to the rescue!

One thing that has helped me still feel put together are sundresses and I’m super happy they are always a staple during the summer. Add a little denim, a strappy sandal and you are golden. Plus an ivory sundress is always a good idea in the hot sun.

I would love to hear from you if you’re a new mom or already one. Tell me all about it! I’m trying to soak it all in. Have a great day!!
