Part 1 – Dressing
woes
Being pregnant is one of the best things that ever happen to
a woman! You see the little life growing
within you, feel the foetus kicking inside you, slowly developing that maternal
side of you and experience the changes to your body. Wait!
As an Image Consultant, that’s where the problem lies. What should I wear to look good when I am a
growing whale!? I know many say you are
most beautiful when pregnant…. Please…. My pregnant friends, not all of us
agree especially you are the one getting bigger by the day. Yes, your skin is
better and hair looks healthier.
However, as a mother for the 3rd time, the lack of elasticity
has caused me to expand faster than before!

For one, I am a believer for NOT wearing pregnancy clothes,
especially those that need to tie a ribbon behind! It’s acceptable if the maternity wear DOES
NOT look like it’s for pregnant women.
Then when it comes to deportment, pregnant women tend to walk with their
legs slightly apart and that looks horrible!
It can be controlled but most of the time, the women are oblivious!
So how good can you look if we don’t dress appropriately and
carry it off? Let’s face it, the
pregnant women won’t look beautiful if she doesn’t put on any makeup, carry
herself well or dress appropriately!
